Monique Turenne
This is how Monique Turenne
learned she had been indicted: she was unaware a Grand Jury had
been convened in Florida; she was most certainly not invited
to attend to give answer to the charges against her.
Turenne categorically denies
ever having had an affair with Ralph Crompton. Crompton had already
been convicted of first degree murder and faced the death penalty
when he concocted the affair and implicated Monique Turenne as
an accomplice.
Meanwhile, Loren Schinkel,
the Winnipeg cop who manufactured a statement attributed to her
and supplied the Florida Grand Jury with an affidavit attesting
to its truth, had for two years been wreaking havoc in Turenne's
life -- behind her back, feeding information back and forth among
her in-laws and ex-husband. It is to be hoped that his actions
will be properly aired in public, either in a court of law or
a public inquiry.
His malice is everywhere on
this case.
