An Edmonton lawyer has filed a complaint against Justice Minister Kathleen Ganley, saying she made "inappropriate" comments last summer about a case in which a sexual assault victim was jailed. Scott Horne submitted the complaint to the Law Society of Alberta on March 15. Horne said Ganley's comments on the case that was still before the courts tarnished the reputation of the legal professionals involved. I believe that the law society should look into the matter." He said the minister of justice should be held to a "very high standard of behaviour" and he wants the law society to denounce Ganley's actions.
