EDMONTON — A complaint has been filed against Alberta Justice Minister Kathleen Ganley after she made comments on a case involving a sexual assault victim who was shackled in court and imprisoned during her testimony. Edmonton lawyer Scott Horne has filed the complaint with the Law Society of Alberta. He says it was improper for Ganley, who’s a lawyer, to make statements on a case while it was before the courts. Last June, Ganley raised concerns in the media about the treatment of the Indigenous victim and ordered an independent review. “The rules of the law society forbid irresponsible comments about other lawyers or other jurists,” he said.
