The judge — she set me free on bail, but what gift is there after 33 years there? A Quebec Crown prosecutor has re-analyzed evidence presented during his trial and obtained since, and has concluded a miscarriage of justice may have been committed. Jolivet made multiple attempts to have the case reviewed by the federal justice minister, but was denied until this year’s letter from Quebec prosecutors. Prosecutor Lina Thériault said both the Crown and defence consented to Jolivet’s release pending the review. St-Jacques said the federal review could take between 18 months and five years.
