I tend to think that the lawsuit against Stanley is a major stretch, also in terms of the wife not giving care to the deceased, I doubt there was much she could do, and she'll probably testify that she was pretty traumatized by the whole event.

I mean just reading through the trial, Boushie and his friends were up to no good, and threatened the Stanley family. I feel badly for the Boushie family, nobody should lose a son, but he's going to be dragged through the mud in that part of the suit.

The RCMP suit is an entirely different beast though, and if the testimony is true on how the RCMP treated the family then I would expect that the RCMP will do anything to avoid this one going to court.
