The man never learned to communicate. The courts decided it is a violation of his Charter rights to put him on trial, or even assess his mental fitness for trial. National Post writer and commentator Jamie Sarkonak joins Ben to unpack this legal and moral minefield. If you enjoyed the podcast, tell a friend!
