PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. White supremacist Carney Nerland has asked the
Saskatchewan Court of Appeal to quash a commission looking into the death of
a Cree trapper he shot in January 1991.
Nerland's lawyers filed appeals last week asking to have the commission
disbanded. They argue it usurps Parliament's jurisdiction owver criminal law
because it was created by the provincial legislature and that it intrudes
into the affairs of the RCMP because they were asked to reveal an informant.
Trapper Leo LaChance was shot outside Nerland's gun shop Jan. 28, 1991, and
he died early the next day. Nerland was arrested and pleaded guilty to
manslaughter in April 1991. He was sentenced to four years in prison.
The inquiry, headed by former Saskatchewan judge Ted Hughes, came after
public demand for details of the crime not revealed at the time of
sentencing.
Nerland is self-proclaimed head of the white-supremacist Church of Jesus
Christ Christian Aryan Nations in Saskatchewan.
The commission began in May hearing testimony from police and witnesses. But
the inquiry came to a halt in June when a Saskatchewan court ruled police
witnesses at the public hearings don't have to name the force's informants
within white-supremacy groups.
