Episode notes

James landry was tried for the murder of philip boudro in november two thousand 14 during his opening argument, the prosecutor told the jury, this case is about murder. The judge sentenced james landry to 14 years in prison. Dwain samson pled guilty to manslaughter and didn't have a trial. Community members went out in boats to the place where philip died and placed a wreath on the water. His obituary says he died at sea.

In 2013, a small boat called The Midnight Slider was found floating empty in the waters off of Isle Madame in Nova Scotia. "Murder is not something that occurs in this neck of the woods very often," says Jake Boudrot, editor of the The Reporter, "There's always been a tradition of taking care of families, watching out, looking out for one another."
