Three years after a Grande Prairie man died in an RCMP holding cell the arresting officers were cleared of any wrongdoing. Now Addison Hartzler’s father is calling for change, to find justice for his son. Reporter Wallis Snowdon has been covering the story for years, and joins host Clare Bonnyman to talk about the case, and the fight his father is taking on.
