About this episode

In 1995, a lengthy legal nightmare came to a dramatic conclusion for Guy Paul Morin.

Nearly a decade earlier, the Queensville, Ontario man became the prime suspect in the kidnapping and murder of his 9-year-old neighbour Christine Jessop, because police thought he was weird.

On this episode of History of the 90s, Kathy Kenzora looks back at one of Canada’s most notorious wrongful convictions.

Guest info:

Kirk Makin, former justice reporter for The Globe and Mail and author of Redrum The Innocent. Makin has also served as Co-President of Innocence Canada.
