Two former police officers who abandoned a Native man in the freezing cold are getting support in an attempt to clear their names.
Dan Hatchen and Ken Munson were convicted of unlawful confinement in the case of Darryl Night. They spent eight months in jail.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is revisiting the case over claims of new evidence. Hatchen says he may challenge his conviction.
