A few moons ago, an acquaintance made it into the newspapers in a murder case. I’d never read about anyone I knew in a scandal, let alone a murder case. He was held in the cell for almost a month before being set free.
Of course, he didn’t do it but he had had improper interactions with the accused. In the aftermath, his marriage crumbled and he had to relocate to his village in Oloitoktok where he thrives as a large-scale farmer.
