Something Worth Hearing
From the crime scene, to the courtroom, to the criminal mind, to the law, Something Worth Hearing is telling real stories of justice and injustice. By using real examples from the front lines of criminal justice here in the Fraser Valley, I peel back the opaque curtain of our system to explain the important legal concepts in plain language. With the help of lawyers, criminologists, victims, and occasionally even offenders, I take a deep dive into important Canadian legal matters keeping it lively and informative.

This week Paul discusses a few such cases in the Fraser Valley, including Orosmon Jr. Arevalo, Yee Hung Chin,...
A different episode this week as it's been crazy times with two days in BC Supreme Court as I try to get a defamation lawsuit tossed out under the province's anti-SLAPP legislation.
And also, I went to the U.S. Does that make me a bad person?
I say "no." Washington is more like British Columbia than that Canadian province across the Rockies.

Hear about a double-murder over a tiny dog, a tragic death of a woman living rough, and a domestic case where authorities don't have enough to charge the husband with homicide.
