Details of case

 

 

 

It might be the tiniest bit of evidence — a bug — that turns the tide for Steven Truscott, who became Canada's youngest death-row inmate in 1959.

 

He was sentenced to be hanged at age 14 for a schoolmate's murder. His case, one of the most famous and controversial in Canadian judicial history, helped spur Canada to abolish the death penalty.

 

And 47 years later, the saga continues.
