Man thought of Warren after blast, trial hears CBC North
YELLOWKNIFE - The trial of the Giant mine civil suit continued Tuesday with evidence from the man who was Roger Warren's best friend.
Murray told the trial he and Warren were long-time friends, but didn't agree on union issues. Warren was convicted of murdering nine men in 1992, during the labour dispute at the mine.
INDEPTH: Giant Mine Civil Trial CBC North
The Workers' Compensation Board claims that the long list of defendants created the conditions in which the murders were inevitable, describing the months before as "a summer of labour terrorism." The WCB is casting a wide net, naming the owners of the mine and its CEO, Peggy Witte, the territorial government, the Pinkerton's security force and several prominent strikers on the list of defendants.------------------------------------------- posted 11:26 AM :: reference link ::
