NAN Happy With Aboriginal Jury Rolls Decision

The Deputy Grand Chief of the Nishnawbe Aski Nation welcomes an Appeals Court ruling on Aboriginal jury rolls.

The court threw out a manslaughter conviction on the basis that not enough Aboriginals were on the man's jury.

Alvin Fiddler says now it's time to move forward on the issue.

Fiddler says the ruling validates what NAN has been saying all along.
