Poor man. Imagine having your entire adult life stolen.

Absolutely exemplifies the need for innocence projects in Canada.
Just a note from the article:
Mr Woodhouse served 12 years of prison time before being paroled. However, because a conviction for murder is a life sentence, he was bound by parole terms for his entire adult life.
Thankfully he did not spend the last 50 years in actual prison.

Another example of judicial incompetence in Canada.
Sadly far more common than it should be.

Good on the Manitoba government to invite Woodhouse and his family to the legislature to make a formal and heartfelt apology.
I can only predict that such invitation would not be forthcoming if this would have occurred in Saskatchewan.
