Robert Latimer
In October 1993, Robert Latimer, a Saskatchewan farmer, decided to end the life of his chronically ill daughter rather than subject her to another painful surgery. Tracy, who had the mental capacity of a five-month-old infant, was twelve at the time of her death.

Latimer's Justice
Dean Latimer has a reputation for staying cool under fire and being handy with both his fists and guns. So, when the US marshal needs him to help a lady prove her brother innocent of a murder charge he is the perfect man for the job.

"The Blue Meridian" and other Object...
