Every case needs fair justice even it will take years to find it. This case was the 1984 murder of a nine-year-old girl. The Canadian police announced that the evidence that they use is the DNA from a dead suspect. Everyone of course was shocked when they hear about it and the man who is convicted is innocent.

This marvelous technique called “genetic genealogy” happens to rely on DNA samples of the sometimes distant relative because of this the Toronto investigators found the suspect of the nine-year-old girl named Christine Jessop. The man behind this murder was named Calvin Hoover and committed suicide in 2015.

Christine was kidnapped after leaving her home in the north Toronto area of Queensville on October 3, 1984, and was sexually assaulted and stabbed to death, was found months later in a field some 50 kilometers (30 miles) from where she was taken. Guy Paul Morin was arrested and convicted after two trials but because of the DNA testing technology led to his acquittal in 1995. The wrongful conviction of authorities leads them to pay $1.25M Canadian dollars.

“It’s something I was always expecting… The justice system failed me but science saved me.” Guy Paul Morin said
