About This Course

The aim of this course is to give a general understanding of Wrongful Conviction using true cases from within the Canadian criminal justice system. Based on chapters from Tough Crimes and More Tough Crimes in the Durvile True Cases books, this course contains stories by Edward L. Greenspan QC, Richard Wilson QC, Marilyn Sanders QC, and James Lockyer QC. Wrongful Conviction is an example of miscarriage of justice, also known as a failure of justice, which occurs when a person is convicted and punished for a crime that they did not commit. This Wrongful Conviction course is part of the True Cases Professional Development Series that explores the precepts of criminal justice: the presumption of innocence, the right to a defence, reasonable doubt, and the importance of juries.
