A Nova Scotia group that supports at-risk women and girls is apologizing after it hosted a panel discussion on violence that featured a woman convicted in the brutal killing of a teenager.
Marissa Shephard was listed as a panel member for the event last week organized by the Elizabeth Fry Society of Mainland Nova Scotia.
The panel was titled “Navigating the Legal System and Community Supports After Violence, Victimization, and Loss.” It was the second of three panels supported through the Logan Alexandra Russell Fund, which was created in memory of a Cape Breton woman who was killed in an act of intimate partner violence.
