Murder conviction under review for Quebec man imprisoned for past 33 years

A Quebec judge has granted bail to a man who has spent 33 years behind bars for four murders, after concerns were raised about the fairness of his trial.

Daniel Jolivet’s case is being examined by a federal panel for a possible miscarriage of justice. In the meantime, Quebec Superior Court Justice Lyne Décarie announced on Friday at the Montreal courthouse that Jolivet will be released from prison pending the outcome of the review.
