flag A Quebec man convicted of four murders in 1994 may not have had a fair trial due to questionable evidence, prompting calls for a new trial.

flag A Quebec man convicted in 1994 of four murders may not have had a fair trial, the provincial Crown says, citing undisclosed evidence—particularly from a questionable informant—that could have impacted the outcome. flag While not declaring him innocent, the Crown’s review found reasonable grounds to question the trial’s fairness. flag The case, involving Daniel Jolivet, has been reviewed multiple times, with his conviction reinstated by Canada’s Supreme Court in 2000. flag Now, Projet Innocence Québec is pushing for a new trial based on the Crown’s findings. flag The federal criminal conviction review group previously deemed the evidence strong, but Quebec’s Crown expressed surprise, and the federal decision is under judicial review. flag The justice department is not commenting amid ongoing legal proceedings.
