Book description
Former bank manager Ronald Dalton never got to watch his three young
children grow up. In 1989 he was convicted for a crime that never
happened. His wife, Brenda, was later ruled to have choked to death on
breakfast cereal not strangled as a pathologist had initially claimed.
Daltons daughter, Alison, was in kindergarten when he was charged with
second-degree murder in 1988. He attended her high school graduation on
June 26, 2000, two days after his conviction was finally overturned.
Behind the proud faade of Canadas criminal justice system lie the
shattered lives of the people unjustly caught within its web.
Justice Miscarried
tells the heartwrenching stories of twelve innocent Canadians,
including David Milgaard,
Donald Marshall, Guy Paul Morin, Clayton Johnson, William
Mullins-Johnson, and Thomas Sophonow, who were wrongly convicted and the
errors in the nations justice system that changed their lives forever.
