The Opposition Justice Critic says the secrecy surrounding the compensation deal reached for Erin Walsh is sending up red flags. A resolution was announced in the case between Walsh, the City of Saint John and the Province regarding his 1975 conviction in the death of Melvin “Chi Chi” Peters. Jody Carr says the taxpayers of New Brunswick deserve to know the details of how much compensation Erin Walsh and his wife will receive.
Carr says this case should have been resolved when the court of appeals announced Walsh’s aquittal last year.
