(ST. JOHN'S) The head of the Mount Cashel inquiry says his inquiry will not get involved in the laying of blame...like the Marshall inquiry. The Mount Cashel inquiry is looking into how complaints of child abuse were handled in the 1970's at the Mount Cashel orphanage in St. John's. The Marshall inquiry, meanwhile, was an investigation into how Donald Marshall...an innocent man...was put in prison for 11 years in New Brunswick. That inquiry became an indictment of the entire justice system of that province. But Samuel Hughes, who's heading the Mount Cashel inquiry, says his inquiry will not be doing any condemning or blaming. According to Hughes, their only job is to assemble facts.
