"Many things were done wrong to the woman near the end of her short life.
Once, when she was 27 and living homeless in Edmonton, she was dragged screaming into a man's apartment, held down, had her clothes ripped off, then was choked, stabbed and violated.
The next year, another man accidentally shot and killed her.
But it's the revelation of what was done to the woman between her sexual assault and her death that has outraged and scandalized the Canadian justice system.
For five days in 2015, as the woman testified against and helped convict Lance David Blanchard, 59, of kidnapping and aggravated sexual assault, she was locked up alongside him — as much a prisoner as her attacker.”*
