Скачать или смотреть Bitter Winter - Saskatoon, January 2000: Did Darrell Night really almost die of hypothermia?

In January, 2000, Darrell Night, a 33-year old First Nations man in Saskatoon, Canada, was dropped off by two police officers at a 3-way intersection in the south end of the city in -22 degree C temperatures. In this video, investigative journalist Candis McLean demonstrates that 40 minutes in those conditions was not long enough to cause either hypothermia or frostbite.
The two police officers, Ken Munson and Dan Hatchen, stated that they had simply given Mr. Night a break, choosing to let him walk off his anger and go home, rather than take him to jail for being drunk and disorderly.
Night later claimed that he almost died. He also testified under oath that he was outdoors for no more than 40 minutes.
Despite the fact that the officers were both decorated veterans who had each received commendations for saving the lives of indigenous children, both were convicted of "unlawful confinement" (because they chose not to arrest Mr. Night) and were sentenced to eight months in prison.
In this video, investigative journalist Candis McLean demonstrates that 40 minutes outdoors in similar clothing, in the same or slightly worse weather conditions, was simply not long enough to result in hypothermia or frostbite, and that Mr. Night's claim that he almost died was significantly exaggerated.
