Guy Paul Morin was a suspect in the October 1984 rape and murder of his 8-year-old next-door neighbour, Christine Jessop. Morin was acquitted of murder at his first trial in 1986, but convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment at his second trial. Improvements in DNA testing led to a test in 1995 which excluded Morin as the murderer, after which Morin's appeal of his conviction was allowed (i.e., the conviction was reversed), and a directed verdict of acquittal entered in the appeal.
