Greatest collection of malfeasance and misconduct by a Crown in Canada's history? Arguably so. The Law Society of Manitoba, however, was more interested in protecting lawyers than protecting the public, and never saw fit to disbar him.

I was never up against him in court. As a civil litigator I didn't handle criminal cases except a number of courts martial and a few minor civil cases. From my time as a bencher of the Law Society and in general, I knew he was well respected as a hard-nosed and competent prosecutor. I've read the article and still have a hard time understanding what went off the rails here. These were all tough cases involving folks - accused and witnesses - on the low end of credibility. It's always easy for defence attorneys and even inquiry judges to find chinks and issues to pry open. I guess in the end I'll always have to say that I just don't know.
