Adam Cormack

In June 2017, twenty-five-year-old Adam Cormack was shot once in the head and left near a gravel pit outside Whitehorse, Yukon. Within days, Yukon RCMP had a suspect in custody: Edward Penner. Two years later, a jury convicted Penner of first-degree murder, and he was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for twenty-five years.

That should have been the end of it. It wasn't. In 2025, the Yukon Court of Appeal overturned Penner's conviction, and a new murder trial was ordered from the beginning.

In this episode, we take you through the Adam Cormack murder trial: the evidence, the witnesses who testified, the appeal that unraveled the verdict, and the retrial still ahead. We hear directly from Adam's mother, Theresa Cormack, and a close family friend, on what it's meant to keep fighting for justice for Adam inside Canada's justice system.
