Moment of Truth: Steven Truscott Update
For more than 45 years, the murder of teenager Lynn Harper and the fate
of the boy convicted of her killing, Steven Truscott, has haunted this country.
At the age of 14, Steven Truscott was sentenced to hang for the crime. After 10
years behind bars, his sentence was commuted and Truscott disappeared in
anonymity, living under another name in southern Ontario. But lingering
doubts about Truscott’s trial and details around the murder never went away.
Several years ago, The Fifth Estate
uncovered evidence that showed the case against Truscott was dubious at best.
In an exclusive interview, Canada finally saw the man Truscott had become — a
hardworking, dedicated father and grandfather, surrounded by people who
passionately believe in his innocence. Now, Truscott faces what may be his
final battle to clear his name; his conviction is before an appeals court and The Fifth Estate updates its coverage of
one of the most famous and controversial stories in Canadian history.
