The verdict is...

undecided. 

In this novel "Just Another Indian" the main characters Bill Corrigan, and John Crawford face the judiciary many times because of crimes they have committed to innocent women. But what happens when a criminals gets a false conviction or lesser of a punishment than deserved? They just go back to doing The bad things they were arrested for in the first place. Murder of the 1st or 2nd degree both carry an automatic "life" sentence. instead john Crawford spent 1 month in prison for rape, he got out on bail. John later was sentenced to 10 years in prison for manslaughter. The big question here is. Was there justice for the families of the murdered aboriginal families? the answer is no. Their daughters/sisters/nieces/granddaughters got murdered due to racism. There is nothing the court can do to help fix that pain. There are aboriginal women missing everyday in Canada. This story is just one of many. The only way to bring justice to the families of murdered aboriginal women is to change our ways and make them feel equal to us and stop the racism and stigma that aboriginals have. No matter the persons, race, sex, age, intentions, everyone is loved by someone, everyone has a family. No-one deserves to go through what the woman and their families in this book went through. Lets stop aboriginal women in Canada from missing. Lets stop rapist and murderers before they get the chance to attack. Lets bring justice to the families who lost people due to racism. let's stop the racism.
