Liberals introduce 'Milgaard's Law' to create review process for wrongful convictions

Liberals introduce 'Milgaard's Law' to create review process for wrongful convictions

CTV
Thursday, February 16, 2023 7:29 PM GMT

New legislation introduced in the House of Commons today would make it easier and faster for people who may have been wrongfully convicted to have their cases reviewed.

New legislation introduced in the House of Commons today would make it easier and faster for people who may have been wrongfully convicted to have their cases reviewed.

The bill is dubbed "David and Joyce Milgaard's Law," named for the man who was released in 1992 after being wrongfully imprisoned for 23 years, and his mother who fought relentelessly to free him.

The government says it is rare for miscarriages of justice to occur but a formal process to review such cases is needed.

The bill would establish an independent commission to review, investigate and decide which criminal cases should be sent back to the justice system.

The government says applicants for a review would have to first exhaust all their rights of appeal before applying to the independent commission.

Innocence Canada, the non-profit organization that advocates for the wrongfully convicted, says it has helped exonerate 24 people since 1993.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Feb. 16, 2023.
