Jim Coffin’s mother did not keep a stable radio station on the newspaper diamond and country music channel.
He would remove his son away from the small black and white TV and used the house using the back door.
For the first 11 years of Jim’s life, he will provide no idea to ask questions about the murder in the high-level work and asking them to ask questions about his father in 1956.
He knew his father was dead, but he said he died in a car accident. It was only returned to Kaspé, Que’s house. This version of the events was shaken.
“Some guys were teasing me about my father to die and hang on me.”
“I just lost … My mother told me what happened really:” he could not have left me away from him. “
On February 10, 1956, in Bordeaux prison in Bordeaux in Montreal, Wilbert Coffin was hanged on the table for the killing of 17-year-old Richard E. Lindsay.
Despite being confident, he swore that he had nothing to do with the killing of a young American tourist.
The court encouraged the public’s attention to the real criminal secret, the so-called theories and books, podcasts and films and several illegal convicts.
About 70 years later, the struggle to clear the name of the coffin continues as a new way of the Justice Commission.
The family had faith in the system
Three years ago, three Americans in the coffin, three Americans – a man, a man and a friend, a man and a friend and a friend, went missing on a hunting trip.
Their remains will not be found in the weeks, broken by animals.
The police turned into a coffin that helped in 1953. Became the last one known when he sees the people alive – and then the only suspect
Coffin, helped people to meet people and fled to the problems of cars before the truck disappears. He also accepted some of the items stolen from the victims.
As the back of all trades and a jackin, Cabin, a coffin, became the “ideal suspect” coffin, Kathryn Campbell, criminal defense lawyer and the University of Ottawa said he was a professor of criminology at Ottawa University.
The former Quebec Prime Minister Maurice Dellessis says the feeling of third murder, the American hunting associations felt that tourism would have a negative impact on tourism.
“He was needed to resolve this killing quickly,” Campbell said. He does not represent the family, but he examined the case and prepared a podcast about it.
“It will be just convicted from the beginning and hang out and this would be a message to Americans.”
The government claims to be pushed to the police for a resolution and the coffin is suspected of open and “sensitive”.
He was clearly clear from the fairness of the fairness, the police tunnel vision, judicial permission and a failed assistant.
“Family believed in the system,” said Campbell. “They thought:” Well didn’t do that, so it will not be convicted, right? “”
The jury unanimously convicted him of the murder of the young victim. The coffin was not responsible for the death of the other two Americans.
Attempt to apply by the coffin sentence failed.
In 1963, Montreal journalist and political, jack HébertPublished a book – I am accusing the assassination of the coffin – To help create a provincial commission to doubt the crime of the coffin and look at his doom.
The controversy was so great that in 1964 the Brossard Commission gathered to investigate the case and heard hundreds of witnesses. At the end determined that he had taken a fair judgment.
In 2007between the mounting pressure from the family and supporters of the coffin The communities’ house unanimously accepted an action for a rapid investigation call. There was no more than a very symbolic movement.
The Federal Justice Department did not answer CBC’s questions about the investigation. In a statement about an email, “We cannot provide any information about individual privacy, special offenses.”
Previously, the Minister of Justice decided to decide whether a claim will be repeated or sent if they say that the justice was born of justice.
“This was a decision on the government’s circumstances. Thus, there was a conflict of interest,” he said.
However, in December 2024, a new bill moves the inspection process for remote cases away from the Minister of Justice, and only gives an independent commission dedicated to the accuracy of justice.
An effective Complete Commissioner Completely and eight other full or part-time commissars from four to eight, the Federal government says Bill C-40 will do the process Potentially mistakenly easier, faster and more fair to convict.
In an email, the Justice Administration confirmed that he could look after the posthumous cases, but refused to comment on when the commission can choose or how they can choose.
‘You never get it,’ says 94 year old sister
Marie Coffin-Stewart, his older brother tries to remember as a good cook with a kind of spirit and humor. But he changed his inheritance in the road.
“You never really never get … It’s a terrible nightmare,” said Tabut-Stewart, his voice split.
He said to each other, he said, never “dreams that he would end like he did.”
At the age of 94, Coffin-Stewart, his brother did not stop his belief in his belief that the government was not what he was up to him. He was “defective” and hopes that after these years, Canadians will begin to understand how this event is.
The lawyer of the coffin did not call any witnesses and did not testify.
Coffin-Stewart says his brother was transferred to Quebec City Prison before execution in Montreal.
“It is gently to say that it is a shock. We couldn’t believe it,” said Coffin-Stewart.
The last time he was in prison and saw it with a glass sheet.
“I couldn’t hug him. I couldn’t hold it, I touched him,” said Coffin-Stewart. “The next time I saw him, he was in the helmet.”
Since then, one of 11 sisters and the conditions of his brother’s death encourage him.
“He can kill Americans and I think something is done and the public is the time to know the public,” he said.
Lawyers said that a new federal review process could be the progress. Explains the CBC Matthew’s Cupfer.
Will help illegally non-non-non-non-non-non-non-team
To clear the name of the coffin, the family campaign began officially about 15 years ago in connection with them.
A legal non-profit organization of Canada, innocence in the wrong convict in Canada, in the prison, which has been innocent since 1993.
Director James Lockyer can provide another reminder about the dangers of the death penalty of the organization’s justice and the death penalty in Canada in 1976.
“The wind in our sails is family members in our sails to advance the work as much as we can. “This is the incident of this locked door that we cannot enter.”
This locked door belongs to the documents from the Bossard Commission. Those who did not testify in the trial and interviewed the Locker, the Lockier said that many work was banned.
“Heaven knows why it is. We do not talk about the secrets of state here.”
“Never never escaped a locked door like this before and why are you ‘why?’
“I’m very suspicious.”
Simply, Locker recently said that the organization notes the help of a new Kvebek city to review French and English materials that can help them.
The new federal commission said that the material could not think of Lockyer, the new federal commission said that the new federal commission will probably be able to get the powers and investigation.
‘I don’t want to die the son of a murderer in prisoner’
Undoubtedly, with dismantling the confidence of the coffin and several theories.
1986 Radio-Canada report suggested that several people can have seen a group of Americans. A man said he thought that the license plate was seen as the pennsylvania in Canada. The court did not take into account this.
Another theory offers a man of Quebec, Philippe Cabot, may be responsible for the triple murder. In 2006year after the death, Micheline Cabot said that his daughter was in Radio-Canada The brother admitted that one of the Americans, who worked on one of the Americans with one of his fathers and witnessed his fathers with firearms.
Mishli’s brother Jean-Cabriel and his father Phillippe Cabot, and the revelation in court were dead.
Jim Coffin says he wants to see his father’s name cleansed throughout his life. He says some police documents related to the case were sealed for 99 years. Quebec Ministry of Justice did not meet the requirement of CBC’s limits or a clarification.
“I will live long enough to make sure their (files) opened,” Coffeth said. “If he could walk until the sum of the sums, I can stay around.
“I don’t want to die the son of a killer in prison.”
