These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 1998-04-06, and
should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written by
members of the Usual Suspects, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. I will reveal the correct answers in
about 3 days.
For further information, including an explanation of the """ notation
that may appear in these rounds, see my 2020-06-23 companion posting on
"Reposted Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".
I think I wrote 6 questions in one of these rounds.
** Game 10, Round 9 - History [with 50% Canadian content] - Lawyers and Clients
1. The first half of this round involves Canadian people and
Canadian cases. At Guy Paul Morin's original trial for murder
in 1986, his lawyer put forward the defense that he was innocent
but that, if the jury disagreed, they should take into account
that Morin was also insane. Who was this lawyer?
2. Name the lawyer who co-wrote and narrated "The Scales of
Justice", and is """now""" defending former Nova Scotia
premier Gerald Regan on various sex-related charges.
3. Name either of the lawyers who defended Paul Bernardo at
his trial.
4. He was a violinist in a symphony orchestra, a football player
in the CFL, a lawyer, and finally a judge on the Supreme Court
of Canada. Name him.
5. During the 1980s this Canadian lawyer argued several cases
involving constitutional and energy issues *against* the
government of his native province; then in April 1989 he
became premier of the province. Name him.
6. The remaining questions involve cases and people in the US.
In the original trial of O.J. Simpson, which member of the
defense team refused to cooperate with Johnny Cochrane's racially
based strategy?
7. In 1978 in San Francisco, George Moscone (the mayor) and
Harvey Milk (a politician and gay rights advocate) were killed
by conservative politician Dan White. In the end White was
convicted of manslaughter, but not murder. What bizarre version
of the insanity defense was used at his trial?
8. What lawyer defended Jack Ruby on the charge of murdering Lee
Oswald? He """has""" also made personal injury cases a
specialty, winning the sobriquet "King of Torts", through his
extensive use of films and other demonstrative physical evidence.
9. What lawyer successfully prosecuted Charles Manson for murder,
then wrote the book "Helter Skelter" about the case?
10. The 1925 case that inspired the play and movie "Inherit the
Wind" involved a famous lawyer on each side (one of them a
past candidate for president). The defendant was accused of
teaching Darwin's theory of evolution. Name any *two* of the
three men in the real-life case.
** Game 10, Round 10 - Challenge Round
I'm going to present and score the complete round even though one of
the pairs is current events. One of the events might be memorable
enough anyway...
* A. """Current""" Events in Crime
A1. Henry Waszczuk and Italo Labignan are hosts of a show on
cable TV's The Sports Network, while Karen Monaghan was
host of a show on the same subject on the Women's Television
Network. The three hosts were each fined $800 on Friday for
committing the same offense during production of their shows.
(One of them was fined $200 more for a related offense.)
What did they all do?
A2. """Last year""" in London, England, Anthony-Noel Kelly
produced sculptures that were exhibited in an art gallery.
"""On Friday""" he was sentenced to 9 months in prison as
a result of the way he made them, and his accomplice was
fined £400. What did they do?
* B. Vitamin Deficiencies
B1. What disease is caused by a deficiency of Vitamin D?
B2. What disease is caused by a deficiency of Vitamin B1?
* C. Movies about TV
C1. The story of the movie "Quiz Show" was based on deceptions
committed by the producers of what real-life TV show depicted
in the film?
C2. In the movie "Network", who played the "Mad Prophet of the
Airwaves", Howard Beale?
* D. L.s.d.
D1. Until the early 1970s, the pound sterling was divided into
240 pence, not 100. The abbreviation for the new penny is
"p", but for the old penny, it was "d." This letter was
taken from the initial of what ancient Roman coin?
D2. 12d. was equal to one shilling, abbreviated s. It is
only a coincidence that "shilling" starts with S: this
abbreviation, too, was really the initial of an ancient
Roman coin. What coin?
* E. -Icles in Religion
We give you a definition; you name the word. Each answer ends with
the sounds "ick'l", but *not* necessarily spelled -icle.
E1. (Noun.) A clandestine religious meeting, especially of
Nonconformists or Dissenters; a building used for this.
E2. (Adjective.) Pertaining to an ancient Jewish sect
distinguished by strict observance of traditional and
written law; self-righteous, formalistic, hypocritical.

Morin was acquitted in that trial, then convicted on appeal in 1992,
then acquitted again in 1995 after a further appeal based on DNA
evidence. In 2020 the DNA was used to identify the presumptive actual
murderer as one Calvin Hoover, but there was no prosecution this time
because Hoover had died in 2015. Morin is still alive and so is Ruby.

Regan was acquitted, and additional later charges were eventually
dropped. Greenspan died in 2014 and Regan in 2019.

After that, they would they move the hook to the mouth and fake
catching them in the proper way. Labignan's additional fine was
for failing to release a lake trout.
