TL:DR

Claude Paquin, who was wrongly cooked up for a double murder back in the day, just got cleared after 41 years. Now he's suing Montreal and Quebec for a fat stack of cash 'cause he says the police and prosecutors were straight up sus. Like, he's looking for bread for the time he wasted in the slammer, plus some extra for the stress. 🔥

The Deets

Aight, listen up, fam! So, this dude Claude Paquin, who's 82 years young, was found guilty of a double homicide way back in '83. Turns out, he was innocent the whole time! After serving 41 years, he finally got acquitted last November. Now, he's clapping back with a $64 million lawsuit against Montreal, the Quebec Crown prosecutor’s office, the Sûreté du Québec (SQ), and the Montreal police (SPVM).

Paquin claims the whole thing was a setup. Apparently, a police informant snitched on him, but later recanted. Paquin's lawyers are saying the cops were paying this informant and giving him perks in exchange for his testimony. That's hella sus, right?

Paquin maintained his innocence and fought for years to prove it, including losing an appeal in 1987 and having the Supreme Court of Canada decline to hear his case. Big shoutout to Projet Innocence Quebec, a group that helps the wrongly convicted, assisted in building the case, presenting new evidence in 2020.

Now he wants a bag for the time he spent locked up, the money he missed out on, and to punish the authorities for the "judicial spiral" of "serious gross and malicious state misconduct." The Quebec’s Justice Ministry and the SPVM are staying quiet for now, citing the ongoing legal case. We'll keep you posted on how this plays out. It's gonna be wild!
