‘Biggest heart and biggest mind:’ Wolch took cases of the wrongfully convicted
CALGARY — Lawyer Hersh Wolch is being remembered for his sharp intellect and his tireless advocacy in some of Canada’s most prominent wrongful conviction cases.
Wolch, who served as counsel for David Milgaard, Steven Truscott and Kyle Unger, died Monday at the age of 77.
“He had about the biggest heart and the biggest mind you could ever imagine fitting inside one person,” said his son Gavin, a lawyer at the same Calgary firm.
Gavin said he spoke to his father Sunday night and he was preparing for a court case the next morning.
