Robert Latimer's angry crusade 
He served seven years in prison for killing his disabled daughter. Now the
Saskatchewan farmer is determined to clear his name, and to prove he did nothing
wrong.

'Mercy' without borders | It's not just Canadians who struggle with parents who
kill their disabled children
The Latimer case: a timeline | The nearly 15-year history of one of Canada's
best known legal sagas 
The venom practically drips from the pages. Prosecutors have employed "slander,
trickery and deceit" against him. The courts have swallowed "fabricated"
evidence "fraudulently designed" by police and the Crown to secure a conviction.
Critics who worry that mercy killings leave the definition of mercy in the eye
of the killer are "parasites" who "regurgitate" false information purveyed by
legal authorities bent on winning a landmark case. From the outset, the justice
system has turned a blind eye to the absence of choices before him - that, at
least, is how the man himself sees it - and only a new trial can expose the
entire, disgraceful truth.
Robert Latimer might have gone to prison a taciturn stoic, heartbroken yet
unapologetic following his decision in October 1993 to end the life of his
12-year-old daughter Tracy, who was stricken by cerebral palsy. But if the
letters recently posted on his website are any barometer, the 54-year-old from
Wilkie, Sask., is emerging from jail a man transformed - and not the way
corrections officials generally like to see. Missives penned by Latimer over the
last four years to everyone from cabinet ministers to the Supreme Court itself
seethe with language belying his popular image as a stolid farmer befuddled by
the tempest around him. One note sent last August to Justice Minister Rob
Nicholson accuses the country's highest court of dishonesty. Another sent in
March 2005 accuses the court of "shirking its responsibilty to understand the
arguments before it."
