Thatcher is guilty of causing Joanne's death, 31 May 2006
Author: albertagirl7-1 from Canada

No matter what you say Colin's pupil's did when you met him...thank god that isn't used by police forces to determine who is lying or not... Colin T CAUSED the death of his ex-wife whether or not he was the shooter or not. End of story. He deserved every day he spent in jail. And if he actually managed to brainwash his weak minded son Greg, into doing the murder, double shame on him. Colin Thatcher is scum, and so are his sons. I don't imagine any of them will ever find peace...after how they treated, and what they did to their loving mother.

This movie was very well acted and Welsh did deserve his Gemini award for his chilling portrayal of CT. How backwards things seem 'way' back in the 80's when politicians could tell a female reporter to 'get back into the kitchen'.
