‘Dignity for victims:’ Protesters show up at hearing into judge’s comments
CALGARY — Jessica Daigle had a message Thursday for a judge whose future on the bench is being considered at a Canadian Judicial Council hearing.
“My fantasy would be Justice (Robin) Camp not only acknowledging the error of his ways but, at this point in time, he really should consider resignation, because the public trust in the justice system is already waning,” said Daigle, 34, as she held a placard demanding “Dignity For Victims” outside the Calgary hearing room.
A council committee is hearing from witnesses about Camp and his handling of a sexual assault trial in which he chastised the complainant, questioned her morals and suggested she didn’t try hard enough to fight off her alleged attacker.
Daigle and her boyfriend, Donald Walker, who was holding a sign that read ‘Ignorance Is Not An Excuse,’ said they were dismayed by what they had heard.
