Mr. David French:

That would be one side. Its members would still be exposed to the defence, but it would be better than the current situation. The current situation is one where - this is the wrong form of words - a "standard" social worker shows up, or a member of the public, and they do not have involvement with a murder trial or a post-homicide situation. Those people will be susceptible to listening to the defence, and will not know how impacted the victim's family is and will not know what the accused is likely to be doing. They will be vulnerable to something. Specifically in these cases, where it is domestic homicide, the perpetrator is typically manipulative.

That manipulation is not just of their spouse but of everyone.
