Another miscarriage of justice

Until this book, I wasn’t familiar with Ron Moffatt’s story, although I followed Steven Truscott’s story over the years. While wrongful convictions sadly happen, few cases were as flimsy as that against Moffatt. A kid with poor balance unable to ride a bike is convicted for an abduction/murder proven to have been committed on a bike, just to name one aspect, let alone the false conviction. So disappointing to know this happened in Canada and, to date, no apology.
