Take it from someone who has been abused and destroyed by the system; this is how justice works in Canada. 31 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. The Crown simply moves to throw out his lawsuit, $14M, a small amount really considering the years lost. It is the M.O of the State in Canada when dealing with wrongdoings by authority; deny, deflect and simply ignore. Astonishing abuse and disregard for the sanctity of the individual.



"In quashing the conviction, the Appeal Court found that police had initially verified an alibi showing Phillion’s innocence but never told the defence about it, apparently because investigators subsequently found it to be untrue."
