Mr. Ray was shot after two masked men burst into his house. In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, he twice identified Mr. Jacob Charles Badger as the person who had shot him. However, at trial, Mr. Ray failed to identify his assailants. The statements he had made shortly after being shot were admitted into evidence as res gestae, on the basis of the spontaneous utterance exception to the hearsay rule. The trial judge found Mr. Badger guilty of aggravated assault. A majority of the Court of Appeal for Saskatchewan dismissed Mr. Badger’s appeal, holding that the reasoning of the trial judge did not reveal any concerns that he ignored the inherent or situation specific frailties of the identification evidence that came in the form of the spontaneous utterances or failed to properly evaluate the reliability of the spontaneous utterances. In dissent, Kalmakoff J.A. was of the view that the trial judge did not subject the identification evidence to the careful scrutiny the law requires, an error that infected the verdict. He would have allowed the appeal, set aside the conviction and ordered a new trial.

The Medicine Man by Charles Badger Clark

What does it mean to grow up a black Republican, and conservative in America? And especially as the right has increasingly relied upon race-baiting and white racial resentment for votes? On this week’s episode of Speak Out with Tim Wise, Tim speaks to someone who has been there, done that, and has emerged with a newfound political independence and determination to force both major parties to take seriously the concerns of people of color and the poor. Political consultant and writer Charles Badger has worked for such GOP figures as Mitch McConnell and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, and worked as an outreach coordinator on the 2016 presidential campaign of Jeb Bush. But as the Republican Party finds itself in thrall to Trumpism, Charles has struck out in a different direction, hoping to bring his insights from a life on the right to a politics of inclusion, integration and serious policy analysis aimed at uplifting those most in need. On this episode, Tim and Charles discus the state of the nation, the de-evolution of black conservatism, the forces behind Trumpism, and what policy prescriptions might begin to narrow the gaps between white folks and folks of color in America, and between the economic haps and have nots.This episode also features Tim's commentary on the way conservatives are still trying to rationalize stop-and-frisk policing, even as crime has continued to plummet in New York City without it, despite their insistence that ending the practice would lead to chaos and bloodshed.
