On-going: Robert Sanderson; Winnipeg; Manitoba; "junk hair 'science' case..."No bail for convicted killer in 1996 Winnipeg triple slaying whose case a 'likely miscarriage of justice,' feds say."..."In 2004, advanced DNA testing proved the hair analysis — relied upon by Dangerfield — was wrong. A hair found on one of the victim's feet at the crime scene did not belong to Sanderson, contrary to what the jury was led to believe."


PASSAGE OF THE DAY: "A June 2018 letter to Sanderson from the department, included as part of the defence's bail application, says "it has been determined that there may be a reasonable basis to conclude that a miscarriage of justice likely occurred in this matter."
