50-year-old murder conviction of Manitoba's Clarence Woodhouse may be re-examined due to new information, as Federal Justice Minister orders a new trial.
50 years after his conviction, a Manitoba man, Clarence Woodhouse, found guilty of murder, may have a chance to clear his name. A new trial has been ordered for Woodhouse due to new information not previously presented in court. Federal Justice Minister Arif Virani states that there are reasonable grounds to conclude that a miscarriage of justice likely occurred. This decision does not indicate a conclusion on Woodhouse's guilt or innocence, but rather returns his case to the courts for further examination.
