Ian Mulgrew: Vancouver launches all-fronts attack on Ivan Henry
The city of Vancouver has come out swinging at Ivan Henry, implying he deserves little compensation for his wrongful conviction for a series of sexual assaults in the 1980s.

Supreme Court, lawyer Bruce Quayle said city police should be judged only by the standards of the last century and the City Analyst’s Lab crime scene work should be considered little more than amateur forensics — a self-taught expert working with makeshift equipment salvaged from RCMP castoffs.
