Book Synopsis The Trial of Steven Truscott by : Isabel Lebourdais
Book excerpt: In 1960 at the age of 14, Steven Truscott was sentenced to death for the murder of Lynne Harper, aged 12yrs. Truscott was in a death cell for most of 4 months; then his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. He spent the next 3 years in the Guelph Training School, and in January 1963 was transferred to the federal penitentiary at Kingston, Ontario. But was he guilty? The author reviews the case and presents evidence of his innocence.
