Until You Are Dead

With an update on Ottawa's re-opening of the case.
In 1959, a popular schoolboy, just fourteen years old, was convicted and sentenced to hang for the rape and murder of his twelve-year-old classmate. That summer Canada lost its innocence and the shocking story of Steven Truscott became stamped in the nation's memory. Having always maintained his innocence, this is the true account of what happened, how Steven grew to adulthood in prison and lived anonymously ever since--until now.
In the fall of 2001, Truscott's lawyers presented a 700-page brief to the federal justice minister. Early in 2002, Ottawa decided to re-open the case, naming a retired judge to investigate. The updated paperback recounts this historic triumph.
