News Release: Miscarriage of Justice

January 6th, 2010 · No Comments · Law, News Release, Students

William Mullins-Johnson was wrongfully convicted of the murder of a child, and spent 12 years in prison.

  • During a re-investigation in 2007, it became abundantly clear that not only was Mullins-Johnson innocent, but that no crime had even occurred.
  • When releasing Mullins-Johnson, the Ontario Court of Appeal said this: “That Mullins-Johnson was arrested, convicted of first degree murder and spent 12 years in prison because of flawed pathology evidence is a terrible miscarriage of justice.”
  • Mullins-Johnson has agreed to come to Robson Hall to describe his incredible experience.
