Talk:Port Hope 8 case

This Article Ends Inconclusively

a better conclusion and summary is needed to finish it

What this article needs, imo, is a final summary tying the themes of the article together, listing the members of the Port Hope 8, their current/final fates, and whatever legal, judicial, and social outcomes to the question of miscarried justice in this case have been reached. My reading of this article left me with a sense of confusion and incompleteness about the whole case. Are there still ongoing inquiries into whether justice was miscarried? Have any sentences been overturned? Are there any investigations, either closed or ongoing, into the conduct of the police, the crown prosecutors, or the politicians during the original investigation or subsequent trials? The article mentions that the Port Hope 8 case is taught in Canadian law schools as a “classic miscarriage of justice”; while the narrative of the article describes why this would be, the article never mentions why this would be considered the case at law, and law schools generally teach legal cases by how they are rendered through the legal process, that is, “case #N, Regina vs. Doe, is considered a miscarriage of justice because of subsequent decisions or investigations: X, Y, and Z,” not “case #N, Regina vs. Doe, is considered a miscarriage of justice because I, Dr. Whitetower, professor of Law, really, really think so,” regardless of whether, on it’s merits, the case at issue deserves to be considered in that way.
