investigators astray I honestly would go

they were next-door neighbors she was
21
00:01:13,420 --> 00:01:17,549
not quite ten he was 24
22
00:01:23,969 --> 00:01:28,659
they hardly knew each other but their
23
00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:32,939
names would forever be connected
24
00:01:28,659 --> 00:01:32,939
Christine Jessup and geepaw Lauren
25
00:01:33,469 --> 00:01:38,629
today it is a busy suburb north of
26
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:41,120
Toronto Canada's largest city but in
27
00:01:38,629 --> 00:01:44,119
1984 Queens Ville was a sleepy little
28
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:46,550
town of 400 residents serious crime was
29
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:49,189
unheard of and freckle-faced Christine
30
00:01:46,549 --> 00:01:51,049
Jessup had dreams like any nine-year-old
31
00:01:49,189 --> 00:01:54,349
girl she always wanted to be a
32
00:01:51,049 --> 00:01:56,929
veterinarian she loved animals and she
33
00:01:54,349 --> 00:02:00,669
had her little dog freckles beagle this
34
00:01:56,930 --> 00:02:04,490
is just a normal little child on that
35
00:02:00,670 --> 00:02:07,189
fateful day in October 1984 Christine
36
00:02:04,489 --> 00:02:09,109
took the bus to school as always I saw
37
00:02:07,189 --> 00:02:11,840
her off to school she was happy-go-lucky
38
00:02:09,110 --> 00:02:16,700
way she went in the bus she's a very
39
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:20,300
quiet little girl very vivacious stuck
40
00:02:16,699 --> 00:02:21,919
to home very homely tight after school
41
00:02:20,300 --> 00:02:24,560
Christine made plans with a girlfriend
42
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,250
to meet in a park but Christine didn't
43
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,740
show up
44
00:02:25,250 --> 00:02:30,500
she took the school bus home and dropped
45
00:02:27,740 --> 00:02:32,860
off her bag and was never heard from
46
00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:32,860
again
47
00:02:33,879 --> 00:02:39,519
at first her mom Janet Jessup wasn't
48
00:02:36,849 --> 00:02:41,919
worried I called all her friends to see
49
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:44,200
if she'd gone with them it wasn't just
50
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:47,019
sort of call the police right away no we
51
00:02:44,199 --> 00:02:49,599
looked everywhere when evening came and
52
00:02:47,020 --> 00:02:53,080
no Christine the dread that every parent
53
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:54,699
fears Janet began to live for real it's
54
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,730
something in the back of your mind you
55
00:02:54,699 --> 00:03:00,759
know when you can't find them right away
56
00:02:56,729 --> 00:03:02,469
something's not right and then finally I
57
00:03:00,759 --> 00:03:04,579
thought why didn't we better call the
58
00:03:02,469 --> 00:03:06,979
police
59
00:03:04,580 --> 00:03:09,110
several hundred volunteers and police
60
00:03:06,979 --> 00:03:11,449
scoured a 30 square mile area near
61
00:03:09,110 --> 00:03:14,150
Newmarket north of Toronto the search
62
00:03:11,449 --> 00:03:16,459
was massive the whole town came out to
63
00:03:14,150 --> 00:03:19,129
help you could see them searching across
64
00:03:16,460 --> 00:03:22,120
the fields over miles they searched
65
00:03:19,129 --> 00:03:32,539
different areas we went out and searched
66
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:33,740
that went on for three months the search
67
00:03:32,539 --> 00:03:35,929
turned up nothing
68
00:03:33,740 --> 00:03:42,159
it was agonizing for Christine's father
69
00:03:35,930 --> 00:03:42,159
Robert I sincerely hoping whoever hazard
70
00:03:43,030 --> 00:03:50,189
just don't harm Christine let us know
71
00:03:47,110 --> 00:03:50,190
that she's safe
72
00:03:50,568 --> 00:03:57,589
right is that it
73
00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:59,689
as days turned to weeks Janet Jessup
74
00:03:57,590 --> 00:04:01,370
never gave up hope and right through
75
00:03:59,689 --> 00:04:03,500
Christmas she received cards of
76
00:04:01,370 --> 00:04:04,789
encouragement every day I wish this
77
00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:07,340
would be the day our little girl would
78
00:04:04,789 --> 00:04:10,250
be returned to you don't stop praying I
79
00:04:07,340 --> 00:04:12,259
want this is from a person who lives in
80
00:04:10,250 --> 00:04:14,419
Etobicoke dated November the 28th and we
81
00:04:12,259 --> 00:04:16,849
do not know I don't you've tried to
82
00:04:14,419 --> 00:04:21,199
treat today is there's just another day
83
00:04:16,850 --> 00:04:24,010
in our life in our lives and I think if
84
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:28,370
we had put a Christmas tree up and had
85
00:04:24,009 --> 00:04:30,469
presents and so on it would have to my
86
00:04:28,370 --> 00:04:34,280
way thinking probably would had no
87
00:04:30,470 --> 00:04:40,310
meaning at all if the person involved
88
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:44,469
has any feelings at all that this would
89
00:04:40,310 --> 00:04:48,139
be a natural day for them to for them to
90
00:04:44,470 --> 00:04:52,220
get in touch with it somehow and let us
91
00:04:48,139 --> 00:04:55,879
know one way or the other but on New
92
00:04:52,220 --> 00:04:58,400
Year's Eve came the awful news a body
93
00:04:55,879 --> 00:04:58,668
had been found in a field 50 kilometres
94
00:04:58,399 --> 00:05:01,728
away
95
00:04:58,668 --> 00:05:04,009
it was Christine's soon as we saw the
96
00:05:01,728 --> 00:05:06,589
our minister and the police truck walk
97
00:05:04,009 --> 00:05:08,779
up the driveway right now her little
98
00:05:06,589 --> 00:05:12,228
girl had been raped and stabbed multiple
99
00:05:08,779 --> 00:05:14,149
times on a bitter january day Janet
100
00:05:12,228 --> 00:05:16,719
Jessup was left to make sense of the
101
00:05:14,149 --> 00:05:19,189
reality that her only daughter was gone
102
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,410
really basically love them all you
103
00:05:19,189 --> 00:05:23,569
heaven because I think this is one
104
00:05:21,410 --> 00:05:26,200
instance that proves you never know
105
00:05:23,569 --> 00:05:26,199
what's coming
106
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:42,379
the funeral for Christine Jessup was
107
00:05:39,889 --> 00:05:44,959
unimaginably sad for Janet and Robert
108
00:05:42,379 --> 00:05:46,969
Jessup and Christine's brother Ken the
109
00:05:44,959 --> 00:05:49,430
church could barely hold the 250
110
00:05:46,970 --> 00:05:52,190
mourners who came many were children
111
00:05:49,430 --> 00:05:53,750
Friends of Christine the Jessup said the
112
00:05:52,189 --> 00:05:55,040
public service was their way to thank
113
00:05:53,750 --> 00:05:55,819
the community that had been so
114
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,189
supportive
115
00:05:55,819 --> 00:06:00,589
Reverend Beverly Hall said Christine's
116
00:05:58,189 --> 00:06:03,230
death cried out for justice we bring
117
00:06:00,589 --> 00:06:07,819
with us today our sorrow we bring with
118
00:06:03,230 --> 00:06:10,280
us our cheerfulness and especially we
119
00:06:07,819 --> 00:06:12,259
bring our anger and our outrage that
120
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:16,089
such a terrible thing could happen to a
121
00:06:12,259 --> 00:06:16,089
delightful innocent young child
122
00:06:20,259 --> 00:06:25,038
Christine's body was laid to rest in the
123
00:06:22,759 --> 00:06:27,979
cemetery that was adjacent to the Jessup
124
00:06:25,038 --> 00:06:31,459
home the search for the victim was over
125
00:06:27,978 --> 00:06:33,949
now to find the killer and from that
126
00:06:31,459 --> 00:06:40,279
moment on the investigation would spiral
127
00:06:33,949 --> 00:06:43,848
into not one but two tragedies coming up
128
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:47,418
on crime beat investigators hone in on
129
00:06:43,848 --> 00:06:57,259
one man a supposedly weird type of guy
130
00:06:47,418 --> 00:07:01,490
living next door tonight
131
00:06:57,259 --> 00:07:03,430
on crime beat it's 1984 and the family
132
00:07:01,490 --> 00:07:06,348
of nine year old Christine Jessup is
133
00:07:03,430 --> 00:07:07,490
devastated three months after their
134
00:07:06,348 --> 00:07:10,218
daughter went missing
135
00:07:07,490 --> 00:07:13,280
her body is discovered in a field just
136
00:07:10,218 --> 00:07:15,468
outside of town all investigators know
137
00:07:13,279 --> 00:07:18,258
is that Christine was supposed to meet
138
00:07:15,468 --> 00:07:22,189
up with a friend after school but never
139
00:07:18,259 --> 00:07:28,280
showed up now back to Erick Sorenson
140
00:07:22,189 --> 00:07:31,038
with one murder two tragedies in October
141
00:07:28,279 --> 00:07:34,848
1984 geepaw Morin worked at a plant
142
00:07:31,038 --> 00:07:37,209
sanding furniture he lived with his
143
00:07:34,848 --> 00:07:40,098
parents next door to the Jessup family
144
00:07:37,209 --> 00:07:41,149
but the morons kept to themselves even
145
00:07:40,098 --> 00:07:43,579
during the search for their missing
146
00:07:41,149 --> 00:07:46,158
young neighbor the death of Christine
147
00:07:43,579 --> 00:07:48,379
was sad news but little did GEEP Hall
148
00:07:46,158 --> 00:07:50,949
realized then what it would mean for him
149
00:07:48,379 --> 00:07:50,949
down the road
150
00:07:52,209 --> 00:07:58,239
four weeks after Christine's body was
151
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,240
found police were getting nowhere
152
00:07:59,290 --> 00:08:04,180
in February they visited Janet Jessup
153
00:08:02,439 --> 00:08:06,550
who told investigators about her
154
00:08:04,180 --> 00:08:07,900
neighbor keep all he was described as a
155
00:08:06,550 --> 00:08:10,060
weird type guy
156
00:08:07,899 --> 00:08:12,159
in fact he played clarinet did
157
00:08:10,060 --> 00:08:15,939
beekeeping and didn't interact much with
158
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:17,860
the Jessup's including Christine but for
159
00:08:15,939 --> 00:08:20,170
Durham Regional Police detectives John
160
00:08:17,860 --> 00:08:22,090
Shepard and Bernie Fitzpatrick a weird
161
00:08:20,170 --> 00:08:26,110
type guy represented a potential
162
00:08:22,089 --> 00:08:28,359
breakthrough Laurens lawyer renowned
163
00:08:26,110 --> 00:08:30,250
defense counsel Clayton Ruby suggested
164
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,360
the investigators were under pressure to
165
00:08:30,250 --> 00:08:35,649
find Christine's killer
166
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:39,070
it's nothing new police get closed minds
167
00:08:35,649 --> 00:08:40,478
very early in the case particularly when
168
00:08:39,070 --> 00:08:44,740
it's the case that they'll be criticized
169
00:08:40,479 --> 00:08:47,080
for for not solving police interviewed
170
00:08:44,740 --> 00:08:49,060
Morin and by having an officer pose as a
171
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,100
student hair stylist at morons band
172
00:08:49,059 --> 00:08:53,889
practice were able to gather a hair
173
00:08:51,100 --> 00:08:55,899
sample from him a forensic specialist
174
00:08:53,889 --> 00:08:58,299
compared his hair with one found in the
175
00:08:55,899 --> 00:09:01,509
necklace on Christine's body and deemed
176
00:08:58,299 --> 00:09:04,029
the hairs microscopically similar police
177
00:09:01,509 --> 00:09:07,059
zeroed in the term for this now is
178
00:09:04,029 --> 00:09:08,949
tunnel vision they make up their mind
179
00:09:07,059 --> 00:09:11,709
they see nothing else and they make the
180
00:09:08,950 --> 00:09:13,240
facts fit and they curtail their
181
00:09:11,710 --> 00:09:15,340
investigation because there's no point
182
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,620
they know it was good a cold-case
183
00:09:15,340 --> 00:09:20,440
investigator says police wanted the case
184
00:09:17,620 --> 00:09:23,500
solved utilizing the the flawed science
185
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:25,240
and that in conjunction with the the
186
00:09:23,500 --> 00:09:27,399
identification of a person of interest
187
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,590
at the time they kind of had some tunnel
188
00:09:27,399 --> 00:09:31,449
vision in that they believe that they
189
00:09:29,590 --> 00:09:33,070
were after the right person and their
190
00:09:31,450 --> 00:09:35,560
attention was focused on that person
191
00:09:33,070 --> 00:09:37,570
because to be clear that everyone wanted
192
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:41,049
this case solved and with the right
193
00:09:37,570 --> 00:09:43,720
person in custody police searched morons
194
00:09:41,049 --> 00:09:46,120
car and found fibers also deemed similar
195
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:48,340
to fibers from Christine's clothes they
196
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,320
had the FBI construct a profile of the
197
00:09:48,340 --> 00:09:52,149
killer though by now much of it was
198
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,640
based on the evidence they provided on
199
00:09:52,149 --> 00:09:57,009
Morin the FBI is confident that the
200
00:09:54,639 --> 00:09:58,929
killer is from Queens Ville Police say
201
00:09:57,009 --> 00:10:01,509
the u.s. agency has been amazingly
202
00:09:58,929 --> 00:10:04,029
accurate in its profiles especially when
203
00:10:01,509 --> 00:10:06,189
the crime has been a violent one the
204
00:10:04,029 --> 00:10:07,990
profile confidently concluded Christine
205
00:10:06,190 --> 00:10:10,690
and the killer knew each other that he
206
00:10:07,990 --> 00:10:12,818
was local and even narrowed down his age
207
00:10:10,690 --> 00:10:14,440
according to the FBI's Behavioral
208
00:10:12,818 --> 00:10:17,198
Sciences unit in Virginia
209
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:19,839
Christine's killers between 19 and 26
210
00:10:17,198 --> 00:10:22,990
years old keep all mourn happened to be
211
00:10:19,839 --> 00:10:23,560
24 the profile was specific about many
212
00:10:22,990 --> 00:10:25,149
things
213
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:28,028
the killer was white and out of
214
00:10:25,149 --> 00:10:31,328
high-school education and he believed
215
00:10:28,028 --> 00:10:32,769
himself to be superior to others the
216
00:10:31,328 --> 00:10:34,778
investigators said they had several
217
00:10:32,769 --> 00:10:36,250
suspects but they were really painting a
218
00:10:34,778 --> 00:10:40,028
portrait of Christine's next-door
219
00:10:36,250 --> 00:10:41,198
neighbor his initial intentions were not
220
00:10:40,028 --> 00:10:44,309
to kill Christine
221
00:10:41,198 --> 00:10:47,698
but after sexually assaulting her and
222
00:10:44,309 --> 00:10:50,739
not getting the reaction he expected
223
00:10:47,698 --> 00:10:53,889
he's lost control himself and murdered
224
00:10:50,740 --> 00:10:56,110
her five days later detectives Shepherd
225
00:10:53,889 --> 00:10:59,198
and Fitzpatrick arrested keep halt Morin
226
00:10:56,110 --> 00:11:01,028
and brought him in Morin was stunned but
227
00:10:59,198 --> 00:11:03,429
the detectives believed they had their
228
00:11:01,028 --> 00:11:06,490
man detectives made the arrest last
229
00:11:03,429 --> 00:11:08,559
night 25 year-old Paul Moran who lived
230
00:11:06,490 --> 00:11:10,448
next door to the Jessup family was
231
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,399
arrested while on his way to Stovall for
232
00:11:10,448 --> 00:11:14,109
a band practice the police who
233
00:11:12,399 --> 00:11:17,679
investigated this had almost no
234
00:11:14,110 --> 00:11:19,870
experience in homicide cases it was a
235
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,739
complicated case scientifically
236
00:11:19,870 --> 00:11:23,110
forensically
237
00:11:20,740 --> 00:11:26,620
and they just were totally ill-prepared
238
00:11:23,110 --> 00:11:28,750
for it as weeks and months go by in a
239
00:11:26,620 --> 00:11:31,149
highly publicized investigation
240
00:11:28,750 --> 00:11:33,818
especially where there's a child murder
241
00:11:31,149 --> 00:11:35,889
the pressure is immense and this was on
242
00:11:33,818 --> 00:11:37,899
the doorstep of Toronto so the media
243
00:11:35,889 --> 00:11:40,209
were very very well aware of this case
244
00:11:37,899 --> 00:11:42,909
and following it and I think they also
245
00:11:40,208 --> 00:11:45,729
felt a great deal of pressure internally
246
00:11:42,909 --> 00:11:48,399
within their force and from the family
247
00:11:45,730 --> 00:11:50,459
and we ended up with what you see
248
00:11:48,399 --> 00:11:54,250
classically in wrongful convictions
249
00:11:50,458 --> 00:11:56,049
tunnel vision for example police were
250
00:11:54,250 --> 00:11:58,808
suspicious when they learned that Morin
251
00:11:56,049 --> 00:12:00,639
had not attended Christine's funeral had
252
00:11:58,808 --> 00:12:02,889
he gone investigators were there
253
00:12:00,639 --> 00:12:04,959
photographing everyone because police
254
00:12:02,889 --> 00:12:06,759
also tend to be suspicious that killers
255
00:12:04,958 --> 00:12:09,099
often do attend funerals of their
256
00:12:06,759 --> 00:12:10,688
victims so no matter what he'd done if
257
00:12:09,100 --> 00:12:12,850
he'd gone it would have looked like he
258
00:12:10,688 --> 00:12:15,639
was the killer going to look at what
259
00:12:12,850 --> 00:12:17,860
he'd achieved if he doesn't go he looks
260
00:12:15,639 --> 00:12:19,389
like the killer who's afraid to be there
261
00:12:17,860 --> 00:12:21,850
knowing there will be police and that
262
00:12:19,389 --> 00:12:22,940
he'll be on on display as Mohan would
263
00:12:21,850 --> 00:12:25,670
tell you
264
00:12:22,940 --> 00:12:28,100
anything you do will be seen as a sign
265
00:12:25,669 --> 00:12:30,500
of guilt once they've decided your that
266
00:12:28,100 --> 00:12:32,960
you're the guy a sign of guilt or not
267
00:12:30,500 --> 00:12:35,090
police now had a suspect in custody and
268
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:37,940
the town of Queen's Ville could breathe
269
00:12:35,090 --> 00:12:39,980
a sigh of relief thank everybody more or
270
00:12:37,940 --> 00:12:41,450
less felt but they didn't know if it was
271
00:12:39,980 --> 00:12:45,379
safe for their children to be out on the
272
00:12:41,450 --> 00:12:47,509
street I think people are quite relieved
273
00:12:45,379 --> 00:12:50,090
on all that arrest has been made
274
00:12:47,509 --> 00:12:51,350
relief for police to who acknowledged
275
00:12:50,090 --> 00:12:54,530
the pressure they had been under
276
00:12:51,350 --> 00:12:56,210
probably one of the most emotional
277
00:12:54,529 --> 00:12:58,519
investigations our force has been
278
00:12:56,210 --> 00:13:01,040
involved in it was an extremely long
279
00:12:58,519 --> 00:13:03,889
drawn-out investigation that was taxing
280
00:13:01,039 --> 00:13:06,589
upon our reserves taxing upon our men
281
00:13:03,889 --> 00:13:08,299
keep Paul Morin was put on trial the
282
00:13:06,590 --> 00:13:11,120
evidence was brought against him the
283
00:13:08,299 --> 00:13:13,370
hair the fibers forensic expertise a
284
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,440
timeline was constructed that gave more
285
00:13:13,370 --> 00:13:17,659
on the opportunity to grab Christine and
286
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,490
take her away before her mother and
287
00:13:17,659 --> 00:13:22,250
brother got home at 4:30 that afternoon
288
00:13:19,490 --> 00:13:24,500
and while being held there was an
289
00:13:22,250 --> 00:13:27,169
alleged confession given by Morin to a
290
00:13:24,500 --> 00:13:29,629
fellow inmate news reports quoted Robert
291
00:13:27,169 --> 00:13:32,689
Dean mae-mae reported that Mohan
292
00:13:29,629 --> 00:13:35,450
suddenly burst into tears crying oh why
293
00:13:32,690 --> 00:13:38,000
did I do it I did it I killed the little
294
00:13:35,450 --> 00:13:40,070
girl another jail cell companion was
295
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,559
this undercover police officer who
296
00:13:40,070 --> 00:13:43,820
testified that Morin claimed quote to
297
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,459
redrum the innocent
298
00:13:43,820 --> 00:13:49,280
that's my cure Redrum is murder
299
00:13:46,460 --> 00:13:51,200
backwards Crown prosecutor John Scott
300
00:13:49,279 --> 00:13:54,019
put that sensational testimony before
301
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,940
the jury and directly to keep all Morin
302
00:13:54,019 --> 00:13:58,220
then in front of the hushed courtroom
303
00:13:55,940 --> 00:14:00,500
Scott approached the witness stand and
304
00:13:58,220 --> 00:14:02,840
whispered you took her for a ride to her
305
00:14:00,500 --> 00:14:05,600
death you Redrum Dan innocent Christine
306
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:08,660
Jessup isn't that correct Moga answered
307
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:10,970
calmly no I didn't read ROM and other
308
00:14:08,659 --> 00:14:13,129
odd statements by Morin prompted his
309
00:14:10,970 --> 00:14:13,639
lawyer to do something remarkable in his
310
00:14:13,129 --> 00:14:15,980
defense
311
00:14:13,639 --> 00:14:18,220
Clayton Ruby called psychiatric evidence
312
00:14:15,980 --> 00:14:21,800
that his own client was schizophrenic
313
00:14:18,220 --> 00:14:23,839
seriously mentally ill Ruby argued that
314
00:14:21,799 --> 00:14:25,429
his client was not guilty but
315
00:14:23,839 --> 00:14:27,380
essentially told the jury that if you
316
00:14:25,429 --> 00:14:29,259
find he committed the crime then he's
317
00:14:27,379 --> 00:14:32,330
still not guilty by reason of insanity
318
00:14:29,259 --> 00:14:35,509
it was an audacious legal maneuver and
319
00:14:32,330 --> 00:14:36,710
his lawyer admitted a risky tactic I was
320
00:14:35,509 --> 00:14:38,929
a great risk
321
00:14:36,710 --> 00:14:41,570
I can't know how the jury arrived with a
322
00:14:38,929 --> 00:14:43,909
verdict but by offering it I I think you
323
00:14:41,570 --> 00:14:45,770
in danger they're not guilty plea the
324
00:14:43,909 --> 00:14:47,500
jury may take that as evidence that if
325
00:14:45,769 --> 00:14:50,809
he's crazy he must have done it
326
00:14:47,500 --> 00:14:53,659
obviously this jury didn't do that the
327
00:14:50,809 --> 00:14:55,699
jury in fact cleared keep all more'n a
328
00:14:53,659 --> 00:15:02,509
verdict that left the courtroom stunned
329
00:14:55,700 --> 00:15:04,879
but not the man now acquitted Morin did
330
00:15:02,509 --> 00:15:07,100
have an odd way of expressing himself I
331
00:15:04,879 --> 00:15:10,100
still had that feeling of positive when
332
00:15:07,100 --> 00:15:12,409
you do something that is not wrong if
333
00:15:10,100 --> 00:15:13,639
you do not do anything of wrong then
334
00:15:12,409 --> 00:15:15,469
there's no reason for you to be
335
00:15:13,639 --> 00:15:19,370
convicted when you heard not guilty what
336
00:15:15,470 --> 00:15:21,950
went through your mind as is happiness
337
00:15:19,370 --> 00:15:23,690
Morin would later say his one regret was
338
00:15:21,950 --> 00:15:25,300
allowing his legal team to introduce
339
00:15:23,690 --> 00:15:28,010
evidence that he was schizophrenic
340
00:15:25,299 --> 00:15:30,169
decades on Clayton Ruby adamantly
341
00:15:28,009 --> 00:15:32,029
defended that decision he felt that it
342
00:15:30,169 --> 00:15:34,819
could painted him in a way that what
343
00:15:32,029 --> 00:15:38,959
just wasn't really accurate does that
344
00:15:34,820 --> 00:15:41,960
cause you to have some regret at all yes
345
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:45,769
no I made a tactical decision which was
346
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:48,410
the jury needs to understand why he is
347
00:15:45,769 --> 00:15:50,659
so strange and I have an explanation
348
00:15:48,409 --> 00:15:54,439
that is different then he's a murderer
349
00:15:50,659 --> 00:15:56,000
and I think that worked it worked but it
350
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,460
left police and others with a lingering
351
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:01,700
sense that Morin in psychiatric terms
352
00:15:58,460 --> 00:16:03,590
was capable of committing the crime for
353
00:16:01,700 --> 00:16:06,770
the Jessup family the verdict was
354
00:16:03,590 --> 00:16:11,629
crushing we're pretty mixed up you look
355
00:16:06,769 --> 00:16:14,929
outside and you you get down that is
356
00:16:11,629 --> 00:16:20,149
what you get because you feel that the
357
00:16:14,929 --> 00:16:22,899
systems let you down and you know
358
00:16:20,149 --> 00:16:22,899
frustration
359
00:16:23,429 --> 00:16:28,449
anger for weeks the public had been
360
00:16:26,528 --> 00:16:30,070
primed with stories of forensic evidence
361
00:16:28,450 --> 00:16:32,350
and late night confessions
362
00:16:30,070 --> 00:16:36,459
so the acquittal shocked almost everyone
363
00:16:32,350 --> 00:16:39,339
people are are you know right back to
364
00:16:36,458 --> 00:16:42,489
where they were before they found this
365
00:16:39,339 --> 00:16:44,320
guy since he's innocent there that means
366
00:16:42,490 --> 00:16:46,990
there still must be someone out there
367
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:49,240
but police held to the belief that that
368
00:16:46,990 --> 00:16:52,028
someone out there was gay paul Morin
369
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,980
indeed for prosecutors the psychiatric
370
00:16:52,028 --> 00:16:55,570
evidence of serious mental illness
371
00:16:53,980 --> 00:16:58,149
presented by his own defense
372
00:16:55,570 --> 00:17:00,610
only fortified the belief he was guilty
373
00:16:58,149 --> 00:17:02,740
their focus was on who they believed was
374
00:17:00,610 --> 00:17:06,099
the offender at the time I did this work
375
00:17:02,740 --> 00:17:10,298
for a long time and you know you don't
376
00:17:06,099 --> 00:17:12,879
go into this guessing or making a
377
00:17:10,298 --> 00:17:15,160
haphazard decision on it you go into it
378
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:17,530
and if you're making an arrests you are
379
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:22,150
in your mind certain that you have the
380
00:17:17,529 --> 00:17:24,250
right person the prosecutors and the
381
00:17:22,150 --> 00:17:27,220
Jessup's remain convinced Morin
382
00:17:24,250 --> 00:17:31,599
committed the crime we're denied the
383
00:17:27,220 --> 00:17:33,279
chance of a new trial in our estimation
384
00:17:31,599 --> 00:17:35,529
it basically means that our daughter
385
00:17:33,279 --> 00:17:44,889
died for nothing and the case will go
386
00:17:35,529 --> 00:17:48,039
unsolved life was all but unbearable for
387
00:17:44,890 --> 00:17:50,169
the Jessup's behind their home the
388
00:17:48,039 --> 00:17:52,869
cemetery where Christine was buried and
389
00:17:50,169 --> 00:17:54,220
right next door over their shoulders the
390
00:17:52,869 --> 00:17:56,829
home of the man they were still
391
00:17:54,220 --> 00:18:00,069
convinced killed their daughter our
392
00:17:56,829 --> 00:18:01,839
daughter is buried wrapped 100 yards to
393
00:18:00,069 --> 00:18:05,259
the west of us in the cemetery behind
394
00:18:01,839 --> 00:18:07,359
her home so that the constant reminder
395
00:18:05,259 --> 00:18:12,819
of Christine being there and the accused
396
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:15,159
here a crown appealed the verdict and
397
00:18:12,819 --> 00:18:16,839
Ontario's highest court found fault in
398
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:19,480
the trial judge's instructions to the
399
00:18:16,839 --> 00:18:21,699
jury on reasonable doubt a new trial was
400
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:24,069
ordered a decision affirmed by the
401
00:18:21,700 --> 00:18:26,140
Supreme Court of Canada the original
402
00:18:24,069 --> 00:18:29,019
detectives were fully prepared to put
403
00:18:26,140 --> 00:18:30,850
Morin in custody one more time mr. Morin
404
00:18:29,019 --> 00:18:33,519
will be arrested he will be taken back
405
00:18:30,849 --> 00:18:35,918
to Ottawa where he will be processed by
406
00:18:33,519 --> 00:18:38,558
us and then lodged in the nearest County
407
00:18:35,919 --> 00:18:40,390
Jail it was reported that GEEP Hall was
408
00:18:38,558 --> 00:18:42,910
close to tears when told he would have
409
00:18:40,390 --> 00:18:44,559
to face trial again he does not intend
410
00:18:42,910 --> 00:18:47,298
to ask that his plea be changed the plea
411
00:18:44,558 --> 00:18:53,658
again we not going
412
00:18:47,298 --> 00:18:56,569
a new trial for the parents of Christine
413
00:18:53,659 --> 00:18:57,769
Jessup a second chance in Bear eyes to
414
00:18:56,569 --> 00:19:00,859
see justice done
415
00:18:57,769 --> 00:19:03,589
we were victims by chance who were
416
00:19:00,859 --> 00:19:06,199
survivors by choice I honestly would go
417
00:19:03,589 --> 00:19:08,499
through hell and brimstone to see an end
418
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,499
to this
419
00:19:10,179 --> 00:19:17,679
coming up on crime beat cracks in the
420
00:19:14,118 --> 00:19:17,678
case we'll start to emerge
421
00:19:22,049 --> 00:19:27,250
Vibha Morin has already gone to trial
422
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:30,849
once for the murder of nine year old
423
00:19:27,250 --> 00:19:32,470
Christine Jessup and was acquitted after
424
00:19:30,849 --> 00:19:35,189
the crown appealed the acquittal a
425
00:19:32,470 --> 00:19:38,230
second trial was granted and
426
00:19:35,190 --> 00:19:40,110
investigators remain adamant they have
427
00:19:38,230 --> 00:19:43,720
the right man
428
00:19:40,109 --> 00:19:51,459
now back to Erick Sorenson with one
429
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:55,120
murder two tragedies for us I think for
430
00:19:51,460 --> 00:19:57,100
victims it's hard living day to day for
431
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:59,079
Jenna Jessup and her family a second
432
00:19:57,099 --> 00:20:01,269
trial meant a second opportunity for a
433
00:19:59,079 --> 00:20:02,799
new jury to get a conviction for the
434
00:20:01,269 --> 00:20:06,700
brutal slaying of nine year old
435
00:20:02,799 --> 00:20:08,859
Christine prosecutors brought forward
436
00:20:06,700 --> 00:20:11,410
much of the same evidence but six years
437
00:20:08,859 --> 00:20:13,119
after the first trial the second would
438
00:20:11,410 --> 00:20:15,580
be clouded by new questions
439
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:17,619
Kirk Macon authored the book Redrum the
440
00:20:15,579 --> 00:20:20,230
innocent about this long and complicated
441
00:20:17,619 --> 00:20:22,179
case the more he looked the more he
442
00:20:20,230 --> 00:20:25,029
sensed geepaw Morin was the wrong
443
00:20:22,180 --> 00:20:29,259
suspect he struck me more and more as
444
00:20:25,029 --> 00:20:32,710
time went on as a genuinely innocent guy
445
00:20:29,259 --> 00:20:34,839
the trial went for almost nine months it
446
00:20:32,710 --> 00:20:38,500
went in to everything you could possibly
447
00:20:34,839 --> 00:20:43,119
go into in microscopic detail and at the
448
00:20:38,500 --> 00:20:46,029
end of it I still felt he is not the guy
449
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:48,039
cracks in the evidence emerged first the
450
00:20:46,029 --> 00:20:50,200
timeline the day Christine was taken
451
00:20:48,039 --> 00:20:51,819
police determined Morin punched the
452
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,740
clock at work and couldn't have gone
453
00:20:51,819 --> 00:20:57,099
home to abduct the little girl till
454
00:20:53,740 --> 00:20:58,839
about 4:15 p.m. but Janet and can Jessup
455
00:20:57,099 --> 00:21:01,269
at first said they were home by 4:00
456
00:20:58,839 --> 00:21:03,399
10:00 police told the Jessup's they
457
00:21:01,269 --> 00:21:05,559
could have got their time wrong and when
458
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,750
Janet testified she had changed her mind
459
00:21:05,559 --> 00:21:10,809
and said she and her son got home after
460
00:21:07,750 --> 00:21:13,390
4:30 leaving time for Morin to commit
461
00:21:10,809 --> 00:21:16,089
the crime in the eyes of police years
462
00:21:13,390 --> 00:21:18,100
later can Jessup said he was just a kid
463
00:21:16,089 --> 00:21:20,439
being told by police he'd set his watch
464
00:21:18,099 --> 00:21:24,730
improperly it automatically starts
465
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:27,039
throwing doubt into your own statements
466
00:21:24,730 --> 00:21:28,750
that you've already given because you're
467
00:21:27,039 --> 00:21:30,379
14 years old and you're being told by
468
00:21:28,750 --> 00:21:34,160
police
469
00:21:30,380 --> 00:21:37,910
that you're mistaken wasn't even a
470
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:39,940
person anymore a devil demon that the
471
00:21:37,910 --> 00:21:43,490
police had built him up to be that
472
00:21:39,940 --> 00:21:45,170
didn't killed your sister the jailhouse
473
00:21:43,490 --> 00:21:47,690
informants were back for the second
474
00:21:45,170 --> 00:21:50,120
trial to testify once more that Morin
475
00:21:47,690 --> 00:21:52,580
confessed to the crime but Robert Dean
476
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:54,549
May was deemed by defense experts during
477
00:21:52,579 --> 00:21:57,169
the trial as a pathological liar
478
00:21:54,549 --> 00:21:58,879
questioned years later may initially
479
00:21:57,170 --> 00:22:00,650
stood by what he said he'd heard from
480
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:03,620
Morin he was tearful
481
00:22:00,650 --> 00:22:05,630
and told me boys to me that he had
482
00:22:03,619 --> 00:22:08,089
killed Christine Jessa but when pressed
483
00:22:05,630 --> 00:22:10,430
a little harder I can't be sure what I
484
00:22:08,089 --> 00:22:14,000
heard anymore but I do believe that that
485
00:22:10,430 --> 00:22:15,980
was what I heard may ultimately conceded
486
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,529
he was trying to cut a deal with police
487
00:22:15,980 --> 00:22:21,110
what did you hope to get I was hoping to
488
00:22:18,529 --> 00:22:22,970
have my sentence reduced Mays testimony
489
00:22:21,109 --> 00:22:25,639
and that of the other jailed informant
490
00:22:22,970 --> 00:22:29,600
mr. X was dubious but police relied on
491
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:31,910
it anyway another problem for the crown
492
00:22:29,599 --> 00:22:33,679
the officer overseeing the original
493
00:22:31,910 --> 00:22:35,660
crime scene had kept two sets of
494
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:38,120
notebooks and was charged with perjury
495
00:22:35,660 --> 00:22:40,430
and obstruction of justice after morons
496
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:43,729
first trial although those charges were
497
00:22:40,430 --> 00:22:46,039
staid and a forensic specialist for the
498
00:22:43,730 --> 00:22:48,289
defense said the hair found on Christine
499
00:22:46,039 --> 00:22:50,750
was not at all a conclusive match with
500
00:22:48,289 --> 00:22:54,670
morons hair this famous hair which
501
00:22:50,750 --> 00:22:57,410
supposedly had linked him to Christine
502
00:22:54,670 --> 00:23:00,759
that there were two or three people out
503
00:22:57,410 --> 00:23:03,590
of 30 in her class which had a similar
504
00:23:00,759 --> 00:23:06,069
biologically constructed hair and there
505
00:23:03,589 --> 00:23:10,009
were those kind of frailties in in
506
00:23:06,069 --> 00:23:12,980
basically everything there were a lot of
507
00:23:10,009 --> 00:23:14,509
people who were well-meaning at various
508
00:23:12,980 --> 00:23:17,750
points along the way
509
00:23:14,509 --> 00:23:23,329
but it was highly dysfunctional it was
510
00:23:17,750 --> 00:23:25,460
botched it was the product of a massive
511
00:23:23,329 --> 00:23:29,509
amount of publicity and pressure on
512
00:23:25,460 --> 00:23:32,660
police which compelled them to do things
513
00:23:29,509 --> 00:23:37,269
they had no idea how to do and yet this
514
00:23:32,660 --> 00:23:37,269
time the jury found Morin guilty
515
00:23:38,630 --> 00:23:44,460
taken aback keep halt blurted out in
516
00:23:41,430 --> 00:23:46,650
court I am not guilty of this crime his
517
00:23:44,460 --> 00:23:49,140
then fiancee who'd walked to and from
518
00:23:46,650 --> 00:23:51,800
court with keep all day after day now
519
00:23:49,140 --> 00:23:53,730
found herself alone after the verdict a
520
00:23:51,799 --> 00:23:57,539
travesty of justice
521
00:23:53,730 --> 00:24:00,450
he should be free he's an innocent man
522
00:23:57,539 --> 00:24:08,970
his lawyer Jack Penkovsky was truly
523
00:24:00,450 --> 00:24:11,420
shaken today an innocent man was found
524
00:24:08,970 --> 00:24:11,420
guilty
525
00:24:12,490 --> 00:24:17,039
we intend to appeal this verdict
526
00:24:17,929 --> 00:24:28,990
and restore the innocence of a person
527
00:24:24,909 --> 00:24:32,749
who had absolutely nothing to do with
528
00:24:28,990 --> 00:24:35,440
the abduction or killing of Christine
529
00:24:32,749 --> 00:24:35,440
Josephine
530
00:24:35,869 --> 00:24:40,649
but for the Jessup's at long last
531
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,630
satisfaction that the man who'd live
532
00:24:40,650 --> 00:24:44,610
next door the man they were certain was
533
00:24:42,630 --> 00:24:47,160
guilty would be going to prison
534
00:24:44,609 --> 00:24:48,990
finally somebody has paid for Christine
535
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:51,420
the guilty one has paid for Christine's
536
00:24:48,990 --> 00:24:53,450
murder the only consolation of the whole
537
00:24:51,420 --> 00:24:58,759
affair is that it's finally put to rest
538
00:24:53,450 --> 00:24:58,759
and maybe Christine can rest in peace
539
00:24:59,390 --> 00:25:06,420
the Crown prosecutor was so relieved and
540
00:25:02,970 --> 00:25:10,589
pleased he planned to celebrate might
541
00:25:06,420 --> 00:25:12,960
just go and have a beer if there was a
542
00:25:10,589 --> 00:25:18,059
sense of smug satisfaction for police
543
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:22,019
and prosecutors it wouldn't last after
544
00:25:18,059 --> 00:25:24,899
the break we'll give hall more'n finally
545
00:25:22,019 --> 00:25:26,849
be able to prove his innocence and what
546
00:25:24,900 --> 00:25:29,280
will this mean for the Jessup family
547
00:25:26,849 --> 00:25:37,109
still seeking justice for their
548
00:25:29,279 --> 00:25:40,559
daughter's murder welcome back to crime
549
00:25:37,109 --> 00:25:43,439
beat a second jury has found de Paul
550
00:25:40,559 --> 00:25:45,889
Morin guilty in the 1984 killing of
551
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:49,890
Christine Jessup Christine's family
552
00:25:45,890 --> 00:25:52,850
finally feels they have justice but the
553
00:25:49,890 --> 00:25:56,149
feelings will be short-lived
554
00:25:52,849 --> 00:26:04,369
now back to Erick Sorenson with one
555
00:25:56,148 --> 00:26:06,619
murder two tragedies two trials two
556
00:26:04,369 --> 00:26:08,989
outcomes I was in the courtroom for
557
00:26:06,619 --> 00:26:10,879
Lauren's first trial not guilty
558
00:26:08,990 --> 00:26:14,179
Kirk Macon was there for the second
559
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:16,940
guilty the public was shocked both times
560
00:26:14,179 --> 00:26:18,590
a decade-long legal saga in which the
561
00:26:16,940 --> 00:26:19,370
court of law and the court of public
562
00:26:18,589 --> 00:26:22,129
opinion
563
00:26:19,369 --> 00:26:25,819
never seemed to be on the same page so
564
00:26:22,130 --> 00:26:29,210
unusual to have a case where there's an
565
00:26:25,819 --> 00:26:32,689
acquittal when everyone thinks the guy
566
00:26:29,210 --> 00:26:35,690
did and then years later there's this
567
00:26:32,690 --> 00:26:38,120
enormous effort into a retrial when
568
00:26:35,690 --> 00:26:40,820
everyone thinks he didn't do it and he's
569
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:43,158
convicted Lauren's conviction triggered
570
00:26:40,819 --> 00:26:45,378
the public backlash well and thank God
571
00:26:43,159 --> 00:26:48,470
for that if there had not been the
572
00:26:45,378 --> 00:26:51,408
public uproar that there was the clamor
573
00:26:48,470 --> 00:26:53,329
after he was convicted it would have
574
00:26:51,409 --> 00:26:55,490
been a very long time before he'd seen
575
00:26:53,329 --> 00:26:58,189
the light of day and yet there would be
576
00:26:55,490 --> 00:27:01,159
one more astonishing twist in the case
577
00:26:58,190 --> 00:27:02,620
I'm confident that by the end of all of
578
00:27:01,159 --> 00:27:04,700
this we'll know what went wrong and
579
00:27:02,619 --> 00:27:05,479
we'll know how to stop it going wrong
580
00:27:04,700 --> 00:27:07,970
like this again
581
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:10,610
James lochia remembers being inspired to
582
00:27:07,970 --> 00:27:14,710
fight for guy Paul Morin this case just
583
00:27:10,609 --> 00:27:16,949
it was just patently based on nothing I
584
00:27:14,710 --> 00:27:19,740
resolved then and there
585
00:27:16,950 --> 00:27:22,649
that somehow I was gonna clear Agee
586
00:27:19,740 --> 00:27:25,019
Paul's name Lockyer like others saw
587
00:27:22,648 --> 00:27:27,558
police and prosecutorial tunnel vision
588
00:27:25,019 --> 00:27:30,329
it's a natural human desire to want to
589
00:27:27,558 --> 00:27:31,798
apprehend a person who commits such an
590
00:27:30,329 --> 00:27:35,548
awful crime as what happened to
591
00:27:31,798 --> 00:27:39,418
Christine Jessup and it's from then on
592
00:27:35,548 --> 00:27:40,950
that was their focus keep all an appeal
593
00:27:39,419 --> 00:27:43,259
this time was being mounted by the
594
00:27:40,950 --> 00:27:46,080
defense but before that legal challenge
595
00:27:43,259 --> 00:27:48,569
could begin a tiny extraordinary piece
596
00:27:46,079 --> 00:27:49,138
of evidence settled things once and for
597
00:27:48,569 --> 00:27:52,918
all
598
00:27:49,138 --> 00:27:54,629
DNA new scientific evidence that wasn't
599
00:27:52,919 --> 00:27:57,960
available when Warren was first arrested
600
00:27:54,630 --> 00:27:59,850
but ten years on a trace of semen from
601
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:02,610
Christine's clothes was tested and
602
00:27:59,849 --> 00:28:06,298
revealed the DNA of the killer and it
603
00:28:02,609 --> 00:28:09,808
was not D Paul Morin and suddenly he was
604
00:28:06,298 --> 00:28:13,558
a free man it's wonderful it's about
605
00:28:09,808 --> 00:28:16,769
time for keep Paul Moore an absolute
606
00:28:13,558 --> 00:28:19,138
vindication I know I didn't do it I did
607
00:28:16,769 --> 00:28:22,019
not kill Christine Jessa it's as simple
608
00:28:19,138 --> 00:28:25,589
as that and finally as I said DNA has
609
00:28:22,019 --> 00:28:26,909
exonerated me 100% and now it was morons
610
00:28:25,589 --> 00:28:29,189
family that could feel the weight of
611
00:28:26,909 --> 00:28:33,090
injustice lifted keep Paul's father
612
00:28:29,190 --> 00:28:41,308
Alphonse oh yes so I was certain to that
613
00:28:33,089 --> 00:28:45,959
I know my son I think it's time to
614
00:28:41,308 --> 00:28:48,418
celebrate the Jessup family was sent
615
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:50,819
reeling again 10 years of certainty
616
00:28:48,419 --> 00:28:53,250
about who committed the crime vanished
617
00:28:50,819 --> 00:28:57,329
in a flash of modern forensic evidence
618
00:28:53,250 --> 00:28:57,898
Christine's brother can we're back 10
619
00:28:57,329 --> 00:29:02,579
years
620
00:28:57,898 --> 00:29:05,729
it's December 31st 1984 you know
621
00:29:02,579 --> 00:29:11,009
Kristina's still dead and there is still
622
00:29:05,730 --> 00:29:12,509
no person no longer accused from the
623
00:29:11,009 --> 00:29:14,759
prosecutor who had planned to have a
624
00:29:12,509 --> 00:29:17,398
beer after morons conviction came a
625
00:29:14,759 --> 00:29:20,629
contrite admission the justice system in
626
00:29:17,398 --> 00:29:25,979
this country is run by human beings
627
00:29:20,630 --> 00:29:30,010
therefore it is not infallible it does
628
00:29:25,980 --> 00:29:32,679
on the rarest of occasions make mistakes
629
00:29:30,009 --> 00:29:34,329
this was one of them but was it enough
630
00:29:32,679 --> 00:29:36,759
to just call it a mistake
631
00:29:34,329 --> 00:29:39,939
Alphonse Morin believed the truth was
632
00:29:36,759 --> 00:29:42,129
disregarded after 10 years a - well
633
00:29:39,940 --> 00:29:43,509
after 10 years it is hard to put it into
634
00:29:42,130 --> 00:29:46,210
words for the simple reason that they
635
00:29:43,509 --> 00:29:47,700
never did believe us you know and how
636
00:29:46,210 --> 00:29:50,110
often do you have to say the truth
637
00:29:47,700 --> 00:29:55,240
meaning that truth was never enough for
638
00:29:50,109 --> 00:29:59,399
them indeed a major public inquiry would
639
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:59,400
be launched to find the underlying truth
640
00:29:59,490 --> 00:30:05,039
mr. justice Fred Coffman would hear
641
00:30:02,048 --> 00:30:08,139
testimony from 120 witnesses police
642
00:30:05,039 --> 00:30:10,450
prosecutors forensic scientists all were
643
00:30:08,140 --> 00:30:12,460
questioned how and why did the
644
00:30:10,450 --> 00:30:14,769
administration of justice fail in this
645
00:30:12,460 --> 00:30:17,140
instance and how can such a failure be
646
00:30:14,769 --> 00:30:19,029
prevented in future the original
647
00:30:17,140 --> 00:30:21,100
investigators were taken to task for
648
00:30:19,029 --> 00:30:23,168
seizing on Morin so quickly never
649
00:30:21,099 --> 00:30:25,928
wavering in the face of flawed evidence
650
00:30:23,169 --> 00:30:27,940
at the inquiry police investigator John
651
00:30:25,929 --> 00:30:29,950
Sheppard said he attended a pre-trial
652
00:30:27,940 --> 00:30:31,750
meeting with prosecutors well I think
653
00:30:29,950 --> 00:30:33,730
the sole intent was to convict him
654
00:30:31,750 --> 00:30:35,829
there's no doubt about that sir Warren's
655
00:30:33,730 --> 00:30:38,140
lawyer James Locker suggested police
656
00:30:35,829 --> 00:30:40,569
fixated on his client and went too far
657
00:30:38,140 --> 00:30:43,210
trying to pin guilt on Morin I don't
658
00:30:40,569 --> 00:30:47,730
know what too far is I mean if too far
659
00:30:43,210 --> 00:30:51,429
is trying to discredit witnesses which
660
00:30:47,730 --> 00:30:54,250
defense counsel do all the time in cases
661
00:30:51,429 --> 00:30:56,370
and crowns do all the time in cases then
662
00:30:54,250 --> 00:30:58,839
I guess that's too far
663
00:30:56,369 --> 00:31:00,879
Sheppard's partner Bernie Fitzpatrick
664
00:30:58,839 --> 00:31:03,189
had hauled Morin into custody thirteen
665
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,960
years earlier at the inquiry he was
666
00:31:03,190 --> 00:31:07,320
asked whether he accepted the DNA
667
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:11,650
evidence that cleared Morin yes I do
668
00:31:07,319 --> 00:31:13,689
and of course I've seen fit to acquit
669
00:31:11,650 --> 00:31:15,850
him on that police had persuaded
670
00:31:13,690 --> 00:31:17,950
themselves and possibly the Jessup's
671
00:31:15,849 --> 00:31:20,619
that Morin was a strange man from a
672
00:31:17,950 --> 00:31:25,750
strange family who killed Christine it
673
00:31:20,619 --> 00:31:27,548
made me hate mr. Moran and his family it
674
00:31:25,750 --> 00:31:29,140
was a long way from when the Jessup's
675
00:31:27,548 --> 00:31:31,869
were an intimate part of the police
676
00:31:29,140 --> 00:31:34,390
investigation perhaps police got too
677
00:31:31,869 --> 00:31:37,058
close you can't be seeing family members
678
00:31:34,390 --> 00:31:38,220
every day and essentially developing a
679
00:31:37,058 --> 00:31:40,980
strong connection
680
00:31:38,220 --> 00:31:43,169
them and then not feel that you've got
681
00:31:40,980 --> 00:31:46,169
to solve this murder for them they
682
00:31:43,169 --> 00:31:48,720
became like family members and that
683
00:31:46,169 --> 00:31:54,179
drove I think a lot of what went wrong
684
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:56,159
in this case thirteen years after her
685
00:31:54,179 --> 00:31:57,900
daughter's death the inquiry did not
686
00:31:56,159 --> 00:32:01,230
bring Jana Jessup any answers about
687
00:31:57,900 --> 00:32:04,409
Christine just more pain she really
688
00:32:01,230 --> 00:32:06,360
loved life the inquiry did reveal Jana
689
00:32:04,409 --> 00:32:11,280
Jessup's claims of police powers of
690
00:32:06,359 --> 00:32:14,548
persuasion with her maybe I am wrong all
691
00:32:11,279 --> 00:32:16,470
right I'm sorry if I am on the critical
692
00:32:14,548 --> 00:32:17,869
question the time of day she said she
693
00:32:16,470 --> 00:32:20,308
got home when her daughter disappeared
694
00:32:17,869 --> 00:32:22,500
police told her either the clock and her
695
00:32:20,308 --> 00:32:23,460
home was wrong or she had to be wrong
696
00:32:22,500 --> 00:32:25,829
about that
697
00:32:23,460 --> 00:32:28,380
so she testified she got home at least
698
00:32:25,829 --> 00:32:30,480
20 minutes later preserving the police
699
00:32:28,380 --> 00:32:33,299
theory that gave more in time to kidnap
700
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:35,640
Christine detective Bernie Fitzpatrick
701
00:32:33,298 --> 00:32:37,408
says he didn't pressure only suggest it
702
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,840
to Janet that her clock may have been
703
00:32:37,409 --> 00:32:42,120
slow there was never any pressure
704
00:32:39,839 --> 00:32:44,639
it was never any bullying put on either
705
00:32:42,119 --> 00:32:46,829
Janet or Ken Jessup with regards to
706
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,600
changing their times you're believing in
707
00:32:46,829 --> 00:32:51,298
the police and in the authorities you
708
00:32:48,599 --> 00:32:53,548
told us for so many years that well
709
00:32:51,298 --> 00:32:56,788
maybe you are wrong they're there the
710
00:32:53,548 --> 00:32:59,069
purple purse pardon me professionals if
711
00:32:56,788 --> 00:33:02,099
Janet Jessup was overly influenced by
712
00:32:59,069 --> 00:33:04,319
police there was sympathy for her from
713
00:33:02,099 --> 00:33:07,349
an unlikely source I mean she just lost
714
00:33:04,319 --> 00:33:13,589
a child and I mean I understand clearly
715
00:33:07,349 --> 00:33:17,969
that she may not have really had her act
716
00:33:13,589 --> 00:33:20,069
together right at that time remarkably
717
00:33:17,970 --> 00:33:22,650
one crown attorney who helped prosecute
718
00:33:20,069 --> 00:33:25,168
Morin at both of his trials still
719
00:33:22,650 --> 00:33:28,019
questioned his innocence even after DNA
720
00:33:25,169 --> 00:33:30,440
cleared him do you believe mr. Moran is
721
00:33:28,019 --> 00:33:30,440
innocent
722
00:33:31,519 --> 00:33:39,049
I don't know two days later prosecutors
723
00:33:34,009 --> 00:33:40,819
Susan McClane broke down I am not proud
724
00:33:39,049 --> 00:33:44,680
of having been involved in the
725
00:33:40,819 --> 00:33:44,679
prosecution of someone who is innocent
726
00:33:46,269 --> 00:33:51,559
the inquiry also heard that early fiber
727
00:33:49,130 --> 00:33:53,780
evidence was contaminated and that staff
728
00:33:51,559 --> 00:33:55,369
from the foremost forensic lab had
729
00:33:53,779 --> 00:33:59,389
withheld that information from police
730
00:33:55,369 --> 00:34:02,269
this evidence contaminated was used and
731
00:33:59,390 --> 00:34:04,310
did help convict them it is something
732
00:34:02,269 --> 00:34:06,289
that is the worst nightmare of any
733
00:34:04,309 --> 00:34:09,440
forensic scientist
734
00:34:06,289 --> 00:34:12,619
it's obviously not what we want evidence
735
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:14,659
used for the inquiry also heard how some
736
00:34:12,619 --> 00:34:17,359
police interviewing techniques served to
737
00:34:14,659 --> 00:34:19,579
taint witnesses against Morin John
738
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:21,710
Sheppard apologized to keep all Morin
739
00:34:19,579 --> 00:34:23,690
for any involvement on his part in the
740
00:34:21,710 --> 00:34:26,329
wrongful conviction thank you very much
741
00:34:23,690 --> 00:34:28,250
in the end the Chief of Police for the
742
00:34:26,329 --> 00:34:31,360
durham force that had pursued Morin
743
00:34:28,250 --> 00:34:33,889
relentlessly apologized unreservedly
744
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:38,470
daily extends to mr. Morin and his
745
00:34:33,889 --> 00:34:41,750
family a full unequivocal and
746
00:34:38,469 --> 00:34:44,269
unconditional apology for our mistakes
747
00:34:41,750 --> 00:34:47,659
which led to his wrongful conviction
748
00:34:44,269 --> 00:34:51,230
that's a big step and in doing so I
749
00:34:47,659 --> 00:34:54,890
think it's it's good to show the public
750
00:34:51,230 --> 00:34:57,139
that officers now do admit to mistakes
751
00:34:54,889 --> 00:34:59,509
something rarely seen during all those
752
00:34:57,139 --> 00:35:01,489
years G Paul allowed himself to joke
753
00:34:59,510 --> 00:35:02,060
about the time he was first pulled over
754
00:35:01,489 --> 00:35:04,339
by police
755
00:35:02,059 --> 00:35:08,090
my main question to him was is it safe
756
00:35:04,340 --> 00:35:11,780
to drive through the derm he reassured
757
00:35:08,090 --> 00:35:13,070
me it was so based on that you never
758
00:35:11,780 --> 00:35:15,170
know if he get pulled over for speeding
759
00:35:13,070 --> 00:35:18,740
thick and end up with a first-degree
760
00:35:15,170 --> 00:35:20,630
murder charge after all of that the
761
00:35:18,739 --> 00:35:22,789
judge in the inquiry concluded there had
762
00:35:20,630 --> 00:35:24,410
been what he called staggering tunnel
763
00:35:22,789 --> 00:35:27,650
vision by the criminal justice system
764
00:35:24,409 --> 00:35:30,529
but not intentional wrongdoing this case
765
00:35:27,650 --> 00:35:33,019
is not unique serious errors in judgment
766
00:35:30,530 --> 00:35:35,440
often resulting from a lack of
767
00:35:33,019 --> 00:35:37,909
objectivity rather than outright
768
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:40,159
malevolence but where did this leave the
769
00:35:37,909 --> 00:35:41,750
Jessup's the inquiry did nothing to
770
00:35:40,159 --> 00:35:45,460
answer the only question that really
771
00:35:41,750 --> 00:35:48,380
mattered to them who killed Christine
772
00:35:45,460 --> 00:35:51,679
ken Jessup was 14 when his sister
773
00:35:48,380 --> 00:35:54,710
disappeared he was now 28 we still have
774
00:35:51,679 --> 00:35:58,879
this hanging over our heads 14 years
775
00:35:54,710 --> 00:36:01,090
later and it's it doesn't it doesn't get
776
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,090
any easier
777
00:36:07,039 --> 00:36:14,670
coming out new measures to prevent the
778
00:36:11,699 --> 00:36:17,399
misuse of forensic evidence and a
779
00:36:14,670 --> 00:36:26,309
growing movement to combat wrongful
780
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:29,309
convictions tonight on crime beat DNA
781
00:36:26,309 --> 00:36:32,340
has cleared D Paul Morin of all charges
782
00:36:29,309 --> 00:36:36,029
in the 1984 murder of Christine Jessup
783
00:36:32,340 --> 00:36:38,220
he is finally a free man but for the
784
00:36:36,030 --> 00:36:43,320
Jessa family this means Christine's
785
00:36:38,219 --> 00:36:45,299
killer or killers remaining at-large now
786
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:50,600
back to Erick Sorenson with the
787
00:36:45,300 --> 00:36:50,600
conclusion of one murder two tragedies
788
00:36:51,710 --> 00:36:56,849
few cases have had a greater impact on
789
00:36:54,510 --> 00:36:58,530
policing and the justice system than the
790
00:36:56,849 --> 00:37:00,449
relentless legal pursuit of the
791
00:36:58,530 --> 00:37:04,019
unassuming beekeeper from Queens Ville
792
00:37:00,449 --> 00:37:05,639
Ontario Paul Morin after his ordeal new
793
00:37:04,019 --> 00:37:08,449
measures were brought in to prevent the
794
00:37:05,639 --> 00:37:10,858
misuse of forensic evidence the use of
795
00:37:08,449 --> 00:37:14,969
what we call junk science in the
796
00:37:10,858 --> 00:37:18,000
business is far less likely these days
797
00:37:14,969 --> 00:37:20,099
it still exists it's still used but
798
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,989
we're much more alert to it legal
799
00:37:20,099 --> 00:37:24,059
advocate James Lockyer says it is also
800
00:37:21,989 --> 00:37:26,939
now rare that prosecutors rely on
801
00:37:24,059 --> 00:37:28,739
jailhouse informants and police have
802
00:37:26,940 --> 00:37:30,960
learned to put maximum resources and
803
00:37:28,739 --> 00:37:33,539
more than two investigators right away
804
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:36,300
onto a major case front-end loading of
805
00:37:33,539 --> 00:37:38,519
an investigation now is one of the the
806
00:37:36,300 --> 00:37:39,900
four fronts of how homicides are
807
00:37:38,519 --> 00:37:41,389
investigated you put a lot of
808
00:37:39,900 --> 00:37:43,829
investigators on it in the beginning
809
00:37:41,389 --> 00:37:45,629
right from the start and gather as much
810
00:37:43,829 --> 00:37:49,230
of the evidence as you possibly can in
811
00:37:45,630 --> 00:37:51,780
that short time period following the the
812
00:37:49,230 --> 00:37:54,119
incident and police are better trained
813
00:37:51,780 --> 00:37:56,970
today to resist tunnel vision that
814
00:37:54,119 --> 00:37:58,350
settles on one suspect too quickly when
815
00:37:56,969 --> 00:38:00,779
all the investigative efforts were
816
00:37:58,349 --> 00:38:02,639
focused on one person it allowed the
817
00:38:00,780 --> 00:38:04,019
person that was responsible to get
818
00:38:02,639 --> 00:38:06,929
further and further away from the
819
00:38:04,019 --> 00:38:08,579
investigation over time but perhaps the
820
00:38:06,929 --> 00:38:11,129
biggest change of all for Canadian
821
00:38:08,579 --> 00:38:13,380
justice was the genesis of a movement to
822
00:38:11,130 --> 00:38:14,970
address wrongful convictions it was a
823
00:38:13,380 --> 00:38:19,170
seminal day the day of his coming
824
00:38:14,969 --> 00:38:21,929
in July 30th 1992 is a day I'll always
825
00:38:19,170 --> 00:38:23,940
remember on that day James Locker was
826
00:38:21,929 --> 00:38:26,460
asked to take upkeep all morons appeal
827
00:38:23,940 --> 00:38:29,039
and a committee to advocate for Morin
828
00:38:26,460 --> 00:38:31,679
would become a national organization we
829
00:38:29,039 --> 00:38:34,409
then formed the Association defense
830
00:38:31,679 --> 00:38:38,849
there wrongly convicted now innocence
831
00:38:34,409 --> 00:38:40,769
Canada is what is called morons case was
832
00:38:38,849 --> 00:38:44,009
not the first unjust verdict overturned
833
00:38:40,769 --> 00:38:46,259
in the 1980s Donald Marshall suffered a
834
00:38:44,010 --> 00:38:48,000
terrible injustice he had spent 11 years
835
00:38:46,260 --> 00:38:52,260
in prison for a murder in Nova Scotia
836
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:55,110
that he didn't commit then David Milgard
837
00:38:52,260 --> 00:38:56,490
was freed after 23 years in prison for a
838
00:38:55,110 --> 00:39:01,230
murder he had not committed in
839
00:38:56,489 --> 00:39:04,769
Saskatchewan and then came key Paul
840
00:39:01,230 --> 00:39:06,690
Morin 18 months in prison and 10 years
841
00:39:04,769 --> 00:39:09,329
living with the stigma of murdering a
842
00:39:06,690 --> 00:39:11,460
child in each case there was evidence
843
00:39:09,329 --> 00:39:14,279
police and prosecutors blundered and
844
00:39:11,460 --> 00:39:16,619
focused too narrowly on one suspect the
845
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:19,140
wrong suspect and coincidentally all
846
00:39:16,619 --> 00:39:22,289
their names began with an M and they
847
00:39:19,139 --> 00:39:24,509
became known as the 3ms of the Canadian
848
00:39:22,289 --> 00:39:26,309
justice system and his failings the
849
00:39:24,510 --> 00:39:28,680
public had come to recognize that the
850
00:39:26,309 --> 00:39:31,289
justice system can make big mistakes and
851
00:39:28,679 --> 00:39:34,139
a quarter century after morons acquittal
852
00:39:31,289 --> 00:39:37,110
legislators have recognized it to the
853
00:39:34,139 --> 00:39:39,299
present Liberal government has announced
854
00:39:37,110 --> 00:39:42,059
that it's going to set up an independent
855
00:39:39,300 --> 00:39:44,250
review tribunal to review claims of
856
00:39:42,059 --> 00:39:48,299
wrongful conviction something that we've
857
00:39:44,250 --> 00:39:50,369
been advocating for since 1993 former
858
00:39:48,300 --> 00:39:52,530
journalist and author Kirk Macon is now
859
00:39:50,369 --> 00:39:54,960
the co-president of innocence Canada
860
00:39:52,530 --> 00:39:56,940
these cases there are many of them still
861
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:59,550
out there it's gonna be a long time
862
00:39:56,940 --> 00:40:01,829
before we can right the wrong and there
863
00:39:59,550 --> 00:40:04,080
will be many more the ingredients are
864
00:40:01,829 --> 00:40:07,639
always there for wrongful convictions
865
00:40:04,079 --> 00:40:12,179
and everything he did all had done
866
00:40:07,639 --> 00:40:14,549
became suspicious and confirmatory of
867
00:40:12,179 --> 00:40:17,069
their theory that that he was the one
868
00:40:14,550 --> 00:40:20,490
who committed the crime and it was it
869
00:40:17,070 --> 00:40:23,490
became a house built of sand but trouble
870
00:40:20,489 --> 00:40:25,169
was it took many many years for it to be
871
00:40:23,489 --> 00:40:27,149
seen that that's what it really was in
872
00:40:25,170 --> 00:40:28,869
being in the system I've always
873
00:40:27,150 --> 00:40:31,059
questioned why why why
874
00:40:28,869 --> 00:40:33,190
at the end of the day god bless the
875
00:40:31,059 --> 00:40:34,690
science that showed that there's one
876
00:40:33,190 --> 00:40:37,150
person in the world hadn't committed the
877
00:40:34,690 --> 00:40:39,338
crime it was People v Paul Morin was
878
00:40:37,150 --> 00:40:41,798
remarkably unscarred by his 10-year
879
00:40:39,338 --> 00:40:43,358
ordeal he accepted that police and
880
00:40:41,798 --> 00:40:45,788
prosecutors didn't target him
881
00:40:43,358 --> 00:40:48,219
intentionally that may be the intention
882
00:40:45,789 --> 00:40:50,829
wasn't there but the blunders sure worth
883
00:40:48,219 --> 00:40:53,769
it was one of geepaw morons last public
884
00:40:50,829 --> 00:40:55,930
appearances he got married had two sons
885
00:40:53,768 --> 00:41:02,258
and has largely remained out of the
886
00:40:55,929 --> 00:41:04,538
public eye ever since and what about the
887
00:41:02,259 --> 00:41:07,210
search for Christine Jessup's kidnapper
888
00:41:04,539 --> 00:41:09,278
10 years spent focusing on geet Paul
889
00:41:07,210 --> 00:41:11,228
Morin meant of course the killer if
890
00:41:09,278 --> 00:41:14,018
alive is still out there
891
00:41:11,228 --> 00:41:16,768
police are painfully aware of what has
892
00:41:14,018 --> 00:41:20,228
been lost over 35 years evidence
893
00:41:16,768 --> 00:41:21,998
eyewitnesses and the real suspect in the
894
00:41:20,228 --> 00:41:24,460
early stages of the investigation that's
895
00:41:21,998 --> 00:41:27,368
where you get your most value out of the
896
00:41:24,460 --> 00:41:30,159
investigation you you have the advantage
897
00:41:27,369 --> 00:41:31,329
of people's memories close in time to
898
00:41:30,159 --> 00:41:33,518
when the offense happened they're gonna
899
00:41:31,329 --> 00:41:34,059
remember who was around who wasn't
900
00:41:33,518 --> 00:41:36,669
around
901
00:41:34,059 --> 00:41:39,369
who left the area a short time later
902
00:41:36,670 --> 00:41:42,519
after an offense happens there's
903
00:41:39,369 --> 00:41:45,180
memories that you can't bring back 20 30
904
00:41:42,518 --> 00:41:45,179
40 years later
905
00:41:45,750 --> 00:41:51,420
what can be brought back years later is
906
00:41:48,389 --> 00:41:53,549
DNA stacy gallant was part of Toronto's
907
00:41:51,420 --> 00:41:56,280
cold-case police unit that did hundreds
908
00:41:53,550 --> 00:41:58,530
of DNA comparisons nothing ever matched
909
00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:01,440
a suspect in the national DNA databank
910
00:41:58,530 --> 00:42:04,320
so police are now turning to ancestry
911
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:06,510
websites for a larger pool of DNA to
912
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:08,970
find the killer of Christine Jessup and
913
00:42:06,510 --> 00:42:11,900
that means utilizing some of the some of
914
00:42:08,969 --> 00:42:15,000
the sites that people would go on to
915
00:42:11,900 --> 00:42:17,280
identify their ancestry and try and
916
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:19,289
determine their family lines if we're
917
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:22,260
lucky and somebody on the family line
918
00:42:19,289 --> 00:42:24,449
has their DNA and their profile on one
919
00:42:22,260 --> 00:42:27,390
of these sites we could get lucky and
920
00:42:24,449 --> 00:42:29,129
follow that that family line and
921
00:42:27,389 --> 00:42:33,029
identify who the person responsible is
922
00:42:29,130 --> 00:42:35,309
alive or dead there is still hope that
923
00:42:33,030 --> 00:42:37,500
an unspeakable crime will be solved
924
00:42:35,309 --> 00:42:39,210
we're talking about a law a lot of time
925
00:42:37,500 --> 00:42:41,489
that's gone by but the debt the evidence
926
00:42:39,210 --> 00:42:43,800
is still the same the DNA is that of the
927
00:42:41,489 --> 00:42:45,509
offender finding the person who killed
928
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:47,760
her daughter is what Janet Jessup has
929
00:42:45,510 --> 00:42:50,790
wanted from day one almost forty years
930
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:53,610
later now in her 70s it's all she's ever
931
00:42:50,789 --> 00:42:57,050
wanted where's he that's the question I
932
00:42:53,610 --> 00:43:01,640
have the second question I have is why I
933
00:42:57,050 --> 00:43:04,710
want to find it and her it room ever and
934
00:43:01,639 --> 00:43:06,809
that's my goal while the justice system
935
00:43:04,710 --> 00:43:08,639
has learned some hard lessons Janna
936
00:43:06,809 --> 00:43:11,039
Jessup has endured the most painful
937
00:43:08,639 --> 00:43:13,059
lesson that sometimes there is no
938
00:43:11,039 --> 00:43:16,570
justice
939
00:43:13,059 --> 00:43:18,610
it's what makes this story so sad Janet
940
00:43:16,570 --> 00:43:20,920
Jessup lost her daughter and on top of
941
00:43:18,610 --> 00:43:23,380
that her family was led down a torturous
942
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:27,880
path of false hopes and empty dreams of
943
00:43:23,380 --> 00:43:29,980
justice and the ache of missing her
944
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:33,490
little girl never goes away
945
00:43:29,980 --> 00:43:35,920
you can't fathom it you can't unless
946
00:43:33,489 --> 00:43:41,469
you've gone through it there's just no
947
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:45,039
way you can understand your feelings you
948
00:43:41,469 --> 00:43:48,279
go up when you go down and to me I I'm
949
00:43:45,039 --> 00:43:54,639
sure that's normal in its life after
950
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:57,460
something like this since its
951
00:43:54,639 --> 00:44:00,969
establishment in 1993 the innocence
952
00:43:57,460 --> 00:44:03,639
Canada project has helped exonerate 23
953
00:44:00,969 --> 00:44:07,089
innocent people and the work doesn't
954
00:44:03,639 --> 00:44:09,609
stop innocence Canada says its team of

80 claims of innocence justice comes
957
00:44:13,179 --> 00:44:21,250
slowly as with keep all Morin it can
958
00:44:16,750 --> 00:44:25,090
take years sometimes decades the Jessup
959
00:44:21,250 --> 00:44:27,099
family is still waiting for justice for
960
00:44:25,090 --> 00:44:30,160
the day they'll know once and for all
961
