A rush to judgment : the unfair trial of Louis Riel / Roger E. Salhany. by Salhany, Roger E., author. Toronto : Dundurn, [2019] Subjects Riel, Louis, 1844-1885 -- Trials, litigation, etc.   Trials (Treason) -- Canada -- History -- 19th century.   Riel Rebellion, 1885. ISBN:  9781459746091 (paperback) : 1459746090 (paperback) Description:  326 pages ; 23 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "Did Louis Riel have a fair trial? The trial and conviction of Louis Riel for treason in the summer of 1885 and his execution on November 16, 1885, have been the subject of historical comment and criticism for over one hundred years. A Rush to Judgment challenges the view held by some historians that Riel received a fair trial. Roger E. Salhany argues that the judge allowed the prosecutors to control the proceedings, was biased in his charge to the jury, and failed to properly explain to the jury how they were to consider the evidence of legal insanity. He also argues that the government was anxious to ensure the execution of Riel, notwithstanding the recommendation of the jury for clemency, because of concerns that if Riel was sent to a mental hospital or prison, he would eventually be released and cause further trouble."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 345.0231 Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
