Скачать или смотреть Clayton Johnson wrongful murder conviction : Tide of Suspicion (1998) - The Fifth Estate

Four years prior to this report, The Fifth Estate had broadcast a piece that reaffirmed the guilt of then convicted murdered Clayton Johnson. In Tide of Suspicion, we presented new evidence that cast serious doubts on the investigation that led to Johnson being charged related to the death of his wife Janice, and persuaded The Fifth Estate that the original story was wrong.

With the new evidence the Association in Defence of the Wrongly Convicted took up Johnson’s case and submitted an application for ministerial review of his conviction. In 1998 his case was ordered reopened, and he was released from prison after five years. In 2002 the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal quashed his conviction and ordered a new trial. The Crown decided to not proceed with a new trial, and Johnson was exonerated.
