People Who Were Incarcerated For Crimes They Didn’t Commit

Truscott Received Millions In Reparation For The Wrongful Conviction

Steve, who was only a teen when the crime was committed, was tried as an adult. The entire time he professed he was innocent. He explained that he dropped Lynne off at an intersection. He peddled away, but when he looked back to where he left her, Lynne was getting into a grey Chevy. Prosecutors claimed he took Lynne into a bush and killed her. Evidence later revealed that Lynne died during a time period when Steven couldn’t possibly have killed her. In 2008, the Ontario government gave him $6.5 million in compensation for its miscarriage of justice.
