About Guy Paul Morin in brief
Christine Jessop, 9, was raped and murdered in October 1984. Guy Paul Morin was arrested for her murder in April 1985. He was acquitted at his first trial in 1986. In 1987 the Court of Appeal ordered a new trial. The retrial was delayed until 1992 by Morin’s own appeals based on the Crown’s non-disclosure of exculpatory evidence.
The second trial ran for nine months during 1992 – then the longest murder trial in Canadian history – ending with Morin convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. Improvements in DNA testing led to a test in January 1995 which excluded Morin as the murderer, just days before his appeal was to be heard.
