This
was the first time Monique Turenne was able to see the "statement"
she made to Loren Schinkel, which he alleges is almost as good
as a confession.
The only problem
with the statement was that she didn't make it. The nine page
typed document, as he describes it in the affidavit he provided
for a Florida Grand Jury, is either a transciption of a tape
or a verbatum statement taken at the time of the interview (the
night before her husband's funeral).
Turenne did
not even know a Grand Jury had been convened in Florida to indict
her: she learned that she had been indicted and ordered to stand
trial from reports in the media.

eager co-operation of Winnipeg Police Detective Sergeant Loren
Schinkel (now head of the Winnipeg Police Association) and fueled
by in-laws looking for ju$tice.

Police Chief
Monique Turenne has been denied
disclosure of material which would assist her in fighting extradition.
The law regarding disclosure in criminal cases had been clearly
laid out in Stinchcombe. Extradition
law is not so clear -- and not so fair. In the coming weeks injusticebusters will clearly explain the differences
-- and show why the law must change.
