The verdict was made 15 days into the court hearings and sentenced Truscott to death by hanging.

We believe that the court system was wrong in concluding the court case with lack of evidence that directly appoints Truscott's as the primary offender.

This took a detrimental affect on Truscott's life. After the death penalty was abolished it gave Truscott a chance to appeal his case and ultimately lead to him becoming a free man, 45 years later.]]> 2017-04-01 23:31:15 UTC https://padlet.com/shanejulal/zc6kxsbj3hgr/wish/164133720 shanejulal https://padlet.com/shanejulal/zc6kxsbj3hgr/wish/164133802 2017-04-01 23:34:25 UTC https://padlet.com/shanejulal/zc6kxsbj3hgr/wish/164133802 shanejulal https://padlet.com/shanejulal/zc6kxsbj3hgr/wish/164133848 Steven Truscott applied for parole, he was paroled in 1969 to live in Ontario under probation.]]> 2017-04-01 23:36:03 UTC https://padlet.com/shanejulal/zc6kxsbj3hgr/wish/164133848 shanejulal https://padlet.com/shanejulal/zc6kxsbj3hgr/wish/164134028 Truscott maintained his innocence despite being sentanced with evidence that proved otherwise.

After collaborating, we came to the conclusion that, the "Young Offenders Act" would have enabled Truscott to reintegrate into society prior to his case coming to an end, allowing Truscott to seek freedom and a follow-up trial after he becomes legal age instead of serving 45 years.]]> 2017-04-01 23:44:37 UTC https://padlet.com/shanejulal/zc6kxsbj3hgr/wish/164134028 shanejulal https://padlet.com/shanejulal/zc6kxsbj3hgr/wish/164134092 Truscott did not receive, due process. This was the failure of the court system that lead to Truscott's conviction

This video is an example on how a conviction, wrongfully or not, can affect a family.
With knowledge gained from our Wrongfully Convicted course, we believe that Truscott and his family should have been offered conferencing circles to address the outcome of the case. ]]> 2017-04-02 00:21:10 UTC https://padlet.com/shanejulal/zc6kxsbj3hgr/wish/164134728 shanejulal https://padlet.com/shanejulal/zc6kxsbj3hgr/wish/164135630 2017-04-02 01:06:06 UTC https://padlet.com/shanejulal/zc6kxsbj3hgr/wish/164135630
