Day in History

Supreme Court of Canada upholds Robert Latimer's 10-year sentence for murdering his daughter who had severe disabilities.

Robert Latimer believed he was doing something good for his daughter as she was in constant pain and he could not fix it. After much soul-searching Latimer took matters into his own hands and ended his daughter's life on October 24th 1993.
