On November 25th, David Steeves was interviewed by Bruce Frisko of CTV
Atlantic on the subject of Daniel Samson, a black Nova Scotian
accused of murder in a controversial case in the 1930s. Earlier that week, the Samson case was the subject of a
two-part series by CTV Atlantic on the last execution in Halifax. David’s essay
on the case, "Maniacal Murderer or Death Dealing Car: The Case of Daniel Perry Samson, 1933-1935" appeared in The African Canadian Legal Odyssey: Historical Essays
(Osgoode Society for Legal History, 2012), and was a co-winner of the Society’s
Peter Oliver prize for that year.
Here's a link to the interview.
