Geo, the story you mentioned was about Andy Rose and was on the Fifth Estate on CBC.
It is about a Mr. Big sting that went terribly wrong.

Lawyers accross the country were in an uproar about this one.
I watched it and it was very interesting. The cops were going to put someone in jail no matter what the evidence was.
