In 1995, a court acquitted Guy Paul Morin of the brutal crime he’d been wrongfully convicted for: the rape and murder of his nine-year-old neighbour, Christine Jessop.
Morin had always maintained his innocence, but had an uphill battle to fight. Police didn’t chase leads on other suspects. Officers assigned to the case lied and said Morin had confessed. Details were missed during the autopsy. Crown prosecutors didn’t disclose evidence.
The Fifth Estate co-host Linden MacIntyre first sat down with Morin in 1992, investigating his case after he’d been convicted. MacIntyre and Morin would meet again for an exclusive interview in 1995, when Morin was freed.
The Fifth Estate is marking its 50th year of investigative journalism. Watch Odd Man Out (1992) and Beyond a Shadow of a Doubt (1995), hosted by Linden MacIntyre, and more from the show’s files, on our channel.
