Introduction

William Mullins-Johnson was wrongly convicted of a truly horrific crime; a crime which never took place. On the evening of June 26, 1993, twenty-two-year-old Bill was babysitting his four-year-old niece, Valin.[1] Bill's sister-in-law, Kim, had asked him to look after her three children that evening; she would soon tell the police that "the children loved staying with Billy."[2]

Bill and Valin spent part of the evening watching TV, before Valin went to bed - she had been running a fever earlier that day. Valin gave her uncle a goodnight kiss and a hug, and told Bill that she loved him.[3] When Bill checked on her about half an hour later, Valin was sleeping. When Kim went into Valin's room the next morning, she was confronted with any mother's worst nightmare. She first noticed that there was vomit on Valin's bed, and when Kim turned the little girl over, she saw that Valin was purple.[4] Bill would later recall that he had been sleeping on the couch when he heard Kim barreling down the stairs, crying and screaming. He asked her what had happened, and she screamed out the heartbreaking news that Valin was dead.[5] Bill's brother - Valin's father - tried to roll her over to perform CPR, but it was too late: Valin's body was rigid with rigor mortis, and reviving her would be impossible.[6]

Bill was devastated. Over a decade later, he would describe his niece as "very smart, very mischievous, very funny and very special to me." Bill's mother, Valin's grandmother, would insist that "he adored that girl and would never hurt her."[7] Having suffered this devastating family tragedy, Valin's family - Bill included - should have been able to grieve together and treasure her memory. However, due to a series of egregious errors made by the physicians who conducted the post-mortem examination of Valin's body, Bill's personal tragedy was just beginning.

Faulty Medical Evidence

After Kim discovered her daughter's body, Valin's remains were taken to the Sault Ste. Marie General Hospital. Over the next several hours, a team of physicians - Dr. Bhubendra Rasaiah (who conducted Valin's autopsy), Dr. Patricia Zehr, and the now-infamous Charles Smith (see explanation below) - made findings as to how Valin had died.[8] Their conclusion was that she had been strangled to death between 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. on the night of June 26 th - meaning that Bill, who had been alone with the children, would had to have murdered her.[9] They also found that Valin had been subjected to chronic sexual abuse.[10] In fact, Dr. Zehr - who was not a pathologist, but rather "a gynaecologist/obstetrician with expertise in child sexual abuse" - concluded that "this was one of the worst cases of child sexual abuse she had seen."[11]

Bill was arrested at 6:30 p.m. on June 27 th 1993, for the first degree murder and aggravated sexual assault of his niece.[12] Bill recalled that during his interrogation, the police officers "kept screaming at me that they had evidence that I did this and that.... With every accusation, I responded: 'I didn't do it.'"[13] Bill continued to maintain his innocence, from this first police interview until the present time.[14] However, only his mother, Laureena, believed him.[15] Meanwhile, Bill's extended family closed ranks on him, since they trusted those believed to be the experts' judgment. Bill, on the other hand, began to believe that his brother might have killed his own daughter, since he too trusted the experts, and he knew himself to be innocent.[16]

Bill's Trial and Incarceration

At Bill's trial, the jury heard expert testimony from the now-disgraced pathologist Charles Smith. He and other Crown expert witnesses testified that Valin had been abused and then suffocated to death, as evidenced by the bruises found on her chest, neck, and head. Smith also testified that the four-year-old had been anally raped.[17]

On September 21, 1994, Bill was convicted of first degree murder - meaning that the jury believed he killed Valin while sexually assaulting her - and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for 25 years.[18] The jury convicted Bill despite the fact that there was no physical evidence connecting him to Valin's death.[19]

Bill was transported to Joyceville Institution, outside Kingston, Ontario. As a convicted sex offender, he received death threats from other prisoners, and was afraid that other inmates might slash his throat.[20] He was placed in solitary confinement for a four-month period for his own protection. In 1995, he was sent to Warkworth Institution, a prison north of Toronto that houses sex offenders in protective custody. At Warkworth, Bill took correspondence courses and learned about his Aboriginal heritage, while locked behind the steel door of a sparsely appointed cell.[21]

Appeals Denied

Bill appealed his conviction to the Ontario Court of Appeal, but the court dismissed the appeal on December 19, 1996.[22] One of the three judges disagreed with the decision to dismiss the appeal. In his dissenting judgment, Justice Borens stated that he would have ordered a new trial in Bill's case.[23] He pointed out that "there was no forensic evidence" connecting Bill to Valin: "although tests were conducted, there was no evidence that any bodily substance of [Bill's] ... was on, or in ... [Valin's] body."[24] He also noted that "Of the five experts who testified, only Dr. Smith ... thought he saw evidence of recent anal penetration."[25] This dissenting opinion - pointing out the severe limitations in the evidence used to convict Bill of Valin's murder - is in retrospect haunting, as we will see below.

Bill then appealed this decision to the Supreme Court of Canada, but the court unanimously dismissed his appeal on May 26, 1998.[26]

A Miscarriage of Justice

Bill then turned to Innocence Canada (formerly AIDWYC) for help, and the organization took his case. In February 2003, lawyer James Lockyer wrote to the Crown Law Office on Innocence Canada's behalf, asking that the samples taken from Valin's body be made available so that forensic pathologist Dr. Bernard Knight could independently review them.[27]

The police then contacted Dr. Rasaiah (who had conducted Valin's autopsy); his records revealed that he had sent the microscopic slides from Valin's autopsy that Innocence Canada had requested to Charles Smith, who had never returned them. Numerous people then attempted to communicate with Smith about the location of these slides, but he denied that he still had the slides and stonewalled this process for over a year, until the slides were finally located in his office and provided to Dr. Michael Pollanen, who has since become the Chief Forensic Pathologist for Ontario.[28]

Dr. Pollanen decided to conduct his own investigation into the slides. He quickly realized that Smith's findings had been shockingly inaccurate. In fact, they were completely wrong. The injuries to Valin's body that Smith had attributed to physical abuse were simply "the result of normal processes following death or were caused by procedures connected to the post-mortem investigation."[29] In particular, the injuries that Smith had testified indicated she had been sexually assaulted was actually a normal result of changes to her body after death and during the autopsy.[30]

Dr. Pollanen concluded that there was actually no evidence whatsoever that Valin had been sexually abused or that she had been murdered. Although it was impossible to tell what had caused Valin's death, there was zero evidence that she had died from anything but natural causes.[31] Dr. Pollanen then sent the slides to Dr. Knight, who agreed that Valin's death was natural.[32]

At last armed with new evidence that he was innocent, Bill and Innocence Canada filed a s. 696.1 application for ministerial review of his conviction on September 7, 2005. He was granted bail on September 21, 2005, while the Minister considered his application. He had spent exactly 11 years in prison for a crime that never took place.[33]

On July 6, 2007, the federal Minister of Justice granted Bill's application and sent the case back to the Ontario Court of Appeal.[34] This time, the Court took a very different view of Bill's conviction, finding that "it is now clear that there is no evidence that Valin Johnson was assaulted or murdered, and no evidence that ... [Bill] was guilty of any crime." Further, the Court acknowledged that Bill had suffered "a terrible miscarriage of justice."[35]

On October 15, 2007 the Court quashed Bill's conviction and acquitted him of the terrible "crime" that never occurred but had torn his life and family apart.[36] On October 20, 2010, Chris Bentley, the Attorney General of Ontario at the time, announced that Bill would be awarded $4.25 million in compensation for his wrongful conviction. Mr. Bentley apologized to Bill and his family on behalf of the Ontario government "for the miscarriage of justice that occurred and the pain they had to endure."[37]

Causes of Bill's Wrongful Conviction

The principal reason for Bill's wrongful conviction was the flawed testimony of disgraced ex-pathologist Charles Smith. In fact, Innocence Canada played a crucial role in bringing about the investigation that exposed him. Innocence Canada had grown suspicious of Smith's conclusions in other cases as well; so in April 2005, Innocence Canada wrote to Dr. Barry McLellan (then the Chief Coroner for Ontario) and Michael Bryant (then the Attorney General), urging a full public inquiry into Smith's work.[38] On June 7, 2005, Dr. McLellan announced in a press release that a formal review would be conducted into Smith's work on 45 cases involving suspicious deaths of children.[39] This inquiry, led by Justice Stephen Goudge, resulted in the publication of the Inquiry into Pediatric Forensic Pathology in Ontario.[40]

This comprehensive report found that Smith had no training in forensic pathology (his own field was pediatric pathology), which led to many misdiagnoses such as his completely incorrect assessment of Valin's injuries.[41] Moreover, Smith was a terrible expert witness who often "provided unbalanced or emotive testimony, which tended to invite inappropriate and adverse conclusions."[42] Smith was eventually stripped of his medical license.[43]

At the Ontario Court of Appeal hearing that led to Bill's acquittal, Innocence Canada lawyer James Lockyer explained that Smith's woefully inaccurate testimony incited an "extraordinary rush to judgment" by authorities, after which "there was no stopping the train."[44]

Wounds that Innocence Canada Cannot Heal

A few days before his release on bail, Bill told reporters that the day he was charged "ripped my soul out - and right from the first allegation it destroyed my life."[45] On the day of his release, he explained that "the last 12 years has been nothing but hell for me - and my family."[46] In a 2010 interview, Bill said that he might as well still be in a prison cell, because, in his words: "I largely live the way I lived when I was inside: isolated [and] ... untrusting."[47]

Although Bill has regained his freedom, he has lost a decade of his life and suffered unimaginable anguish and undeserved stigma, as his family, fellow inmates, and the public at large believed that he had committed a horrific crime. In a sense, Bill is still behind bars.

David Milgaard and William Mullins-Johnson both served time for crimes they did not commit.

The pair spoke to a packed house at the University of Guelph on Tuesday evening.

"The system needs to change, and one of the most effective ways is to educate the next generation coming up," said Mullins-Johnson.

The two exonerees were joined by a University of Toronto law professor to encourage students not to convict someone before a verdict is reached.

"It's just too easy for everyone, not just the lawyers, the jury, to fall into this idea that, just because someone's been charged, they must be guilty," Roach said.

Milgaard was convicted of the rape and murder of Gail Miller in 1969 at the age of 16.

He served 23 years before he was exonerated by DNA evidence.

"I always carry with me a sense of value for having tried to stand up and say something," he said at the panel.

Mullins-Johnson spent 12 years in prison after being convicted of raping and murdering his four-year-old niece in Sault Ste. Marie.

Experts later found that there was no evidence to support the claims made by disgraced pathologist Charles Smith.

The girl was found to have died of natural causes.

Lawyers for William Mullins-Johnson have asked the court to acknowledge his innocence, but the Crown says such a finding could have broad implications for the administration of justice and set up a three-tier system in the province.

More than 13 years after he was wrongfully convicted of first-degree murder of his four-year-old niece, the Ontario Court of Appeal acquitted Mullins-Johnson last week, as the Crown offered its formal apologies.

"It is regrettable that as a result of the flawed pathological evidence you were wrongfully convicted and you spent so long in custody," said Ontario Associate Chief Justice Dennis O'Connor, speaking on behalf of appeal panel members Justice Marc Rosenberg and Justice Robert Sharpe, after entering the verdict of acquittal.

Following the acquittal, lawyers for the government extended an apology to Mullins-Johnson. "On behalf of the Ministry of the Attorney General, I wish to extend our sincere, our profound, and our deepest apologies to Mr. Mullins-Johnson and to his family for the miscarriage of justice that has occurred in this case and all that he has had to endure as a result," said Crown counsel Michal Fairburn.

Mullins-Johnson of Sault Ste. Marie was convicted of first-degree murder based on the evidence given at trial by former Ontario forensic pathologist Dr. Charles Smith, whose opinion that the child had been sexually assaulted at the time of death was essential to the jury's verdict.

There has since been new expert evidence that the child died in 1993 of natural causes. A misplacing of crucial evidence in the case prompted an audit of tissue samples in 2005, from autopsies performed at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto before the samples were located on Smith's desk.

In September 2005, Mullins-Johnson's counsel applied to the minister of justice for a s. 696 review of the murder conviction. The Ontario Superior Court of Justice granted bail pending the minister's decision after serving 12 years. Federal Minister of Justice Rob Nicholson decided to refer the case to the Court of Appeal last July, concluding that there was significant new evidence "that casts serious doubt on the correctness of his conviction for murder."

Stemming from the results of a review of several of Dr. Smith's cases by Ontario's chief coroner, which identified concerns in 20 cases, including 12 which had resulted in convictions and one finding of not criminally responsible, an inquiry into pediatric forensic pathology in Ontario, led by Justice Stephen Goudge, is set to begin its public hearings next month.

Following the acquittal, Mullins-Johnson told reporters that, "I got my name back. I got my reputation back."

"It has to sink in. I am still kind of numb," he said.

Defence and Crown counsel were in agreement during the appeal that Mullins-Johnson should be acquitted, as Crown attorney Ken Campbell told the court in his submissions that a "who's who" of the international forensic pathology community all say that there was no evidence of homicide or sexual injury in this case.

"Mr. Mullins-Johnson not only deserves the acquittal that he has fought so long and hard to achieve but that an acquittal is really required in the interests of justice in this case," he added.

Mullins-Johnson and Ontario chief forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Pollanen also testified at the appeal. Mullins-Johnson's lawyer from the Association in Defence of the Wrongly Convicted, James Lockyer, applauded the fact that the court allowed Mullins-Johnson to address and give evidence during the appeal, which he says is the first time this has happened, of which he is aware.

While the acquittal was entered last week, the panel reserved its written reasons, and will be considering the submissions of counsel.

Those submissions included comment from both sides on the issue of either an acknowledgement or formal declaration of innocence.

Last month, Lockyer and lawyer David Bayliss filed a factum with the court, asking that the court affirm Mullins-Johnson's actual innocence, quash his conviction, and enter a verdict of acquittal.

"It is respectfully submitted that the stage has been reached where he is entitled to an acknowledgment of his innocence. It is not enough for his conviction to be quashed and an acquittal entered," said the factum.

While Fairburn noted that she is not sure that the Crown and defence are that far apart on the issue, she told the court last week that giving what is tantamount to a "verdict of innocence" is a significant matter that has broad implications for the administration of justice.

From a policy perspective, the effect of this, she told the court, could be to "devalue" and "debase" every not-guilty finding in a criminal court, and could essentially set up a three-tier verdict system.

If the court were to go with a three-tier route, she says, it is really a matter for Parliament.

"Surely, there's a strong policy argument here that, like we always have historically, we ensure that a not-guilty finding means innocent for all purposes," Fairburn told the court.

Lockyer told the court that he was not arguing "in the midst of a three-tier verdict system" through a request as to how the court should exercise its discretion.

He says he made a "human request" for the court to tell Mullins-Johnson that he is innocent in whatever way they will, so that he can go back home and hopefully have a reunification of his family.

"Do I think a court should be able to say to someone, 'You didn't do it' or 'You're factually innocent' or whatever way they want to say it? Of course they should be able to say that," he told Law Times.

This article talks about the compensation William received and how he dealt with life after he was released

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The first of many victims of notoriously inept pathologist Dr. Charles Smith has finally received compensation for a miscarriage of justice.

Seventeen years after William Mullins-Johnson was arrested and accused of murdering and sodomizing his 4-year-old niece, he has been awarded a $4.25 million settlement.

Critics argue the settlement has been too long in coming and note that others whose lives are in disarray after wrongful prosecutions and convictions are still waiting.

In announcing the compensation Thursday, Attorney General Chris Bentley apologized to the 40-year-old Sault Ste. Marie man who spent 12 years in jail on a first-degree murder conviction.

"We're very sorry, on behalf of the government of Ontario, the people of Ontario, for the terrible pain and suffering that Mr. Mullins-Johnson has undergone over the years," he told reporters.

Mullins-Johnson's ordeal began on the morning of June 27, 1993, when his 4-year-old niece, Valin, was found dead in her bed by her parents.

Mullins-Johnson had been babysitting her the night before and under the Crown's theory, he had exclusive opportunity to commit the crime.

At the time, Smith was considered the ultimate authority on pediatric forensic pathology in Ontario and his findings were rarely challenged.

Asked to review the case, Smith concluded Valin died while being anally raped. The opening to her anus was dilated, proof that she was sodomized, Smith said.

But expert pathologists who subsequently reviewed the case discredited Smith's finding, pointing out that the anus can naturally dilate after death, a process well-recognized in medical literature and textbooks.

They determined Valin had died from natural causes.

Justice Stephen Goudge, who led a public inquiry into the fiasco, concluded two years ago that Smith "lacked basic knowledge" about forensic pathology and did not have formal training in the field.

Mullins-Johnson was not available to comment Thursday. But in earlier interviews he spoke of being traumatized by the ordeal. He has always maintained his innocence, but many family members did not believe him and disowned him.

He developed a drug addiction and had to spend time in solitary confinement in jail. He lamented over not being married and having a family.

Mullins-Johnson had earlier filed a $13 million lawsuit against those he held responsible, including Smith, the office of the chief coroner, and doctors who worked at the Hospital for Sick Children and in Sault Ste. Marie. He has dropped that lawsuit as part of the settlement.

Mullins-Johnson's lawyer, David Robins, said his client is grateful for the settlement. Still, he said money can never fully compensate Mullins-Johnson for the hardship he has endured.

"Money cannot turn back the hands of time. It cannot bring back 12 important years of his life. Money cannot remove the label of a convicted sex offender, notwithstanding his acquittal, that some people still see in him. It cannot repair the harm to the important familial relationships that he has. And money cannot resolve post-traumatic stress," Robins said.

He said it's unfortunate it has taken the province two years to develop a process to compensate individuals, something the Goudge Commission recommended the government explore.

"The travesty is that so much time can pass where they have to live in very difficult economic conditions until some means of compensation can be resolved," Robins said, explaining that it's hard for victims to land jobs after being branded child killers and doing jail time.

Smith erred in at least 20 child-death investigations, 12 of which resulted in convictions. Four of those convictions have since been quashed, including Mullins-Johnson's. Five others are in various states of appeal.

Bentley said provincial-territorial-federal guidelines were used to determine the compensation and added that the settlement does not necessarily serve as the benchmark for other Smith-related cases.

"Every one of the cases is decided on its own facts and its own merits," he said.

Asked if any part of the compensation bill was footed by taxpayers or the Canadian Medical Protective Association, the insurance company for doctors, Robins said: "I am not at liberty to disclose anything about that."
