An indigenous man convicted in the murder of a restaurant employee 50 years ago was acquitted in Winnipeg this week by a judge who characterized the conviction as a miscarriage of justice.
Outside the court, 72-year-old Clarence Woodhouse showcased his court papers, along with a T-shirt that said “Innocent.” He said he plans to celebrate by spending quality time with his son and grandchildren.
