SUMMARY - Wrongful Convictions and Exonerations

The wrongful conviction of an innocent person represents one of the gravest failures of the justice system. When someone is convicted of a crime they did not commit, the consequences ripple outward—an innocent person loses years or decades of their life while the actual perpetrator may remain free. Understanding how wrongful convictions occur, and how Canada responds when they are discovered, is essential for a justice system that claims to value both public safety and individual rights.
