Robert Baltovich responds to questions raised on the Motts over why he wasn't asking for compensation

Hi Carol,

For the past eighteen years, I have struggled to have my innocence acknowledged and on Tuesday, April 22^ndthose efforts came to fruition; it was an overwhelming moment for me and one that I am still coming to terms with. But to be asked about compensation only minutes after being acquitted of murdering the woman I loved was, in my opinion, profoundly disrespectful to Liz's memory and to her family and for these and other reasons I did not feel it appropriate to address the issue. Regardless of one's view of the case or the issue of compensation, the fact remains that a beautiful, vibrant young woman that I loved was murdered, her family remains in grief, and after eighteen years I finally have the opportunity to grieve her in a way that was denied me eighteen years ago.  

It is only natural that people would wonder about compensation given what I have endured and I do not begrudge them this as it is a legitimate thought. But for now, my focus is on getting answers to two fundamental questions: why was I imprisoned for a crime I did not commit; and who is responsible for Liz's murder. A judicial inquiry may bring us closer to answering those questions and this is what I have chosen to address until such time as we receive an answer one way or the other.   

I would like to stress, however, that no one is more aware of how much I have been wronged by the system than I am. And though I would not begrudge anyone in my position the desire to be compensated, I simply feel it is an issue that can wait for another day. Perhaps some day in the future, when and if those that are responsible for the injustice I have suffered are made accountable for what has happened; or, when I have had more time to reflect on what has transpired over the last eighteen years, I will address the issue of compensation. For now, I've merely chosen to focus on other things and I hope people will respect this.    

Sincerely,
