More than a year after the Saint John, N.B., police chief announced a review of his officers’ conduct in the case of two men wrongfully convicted of murder, there is no sign of the promised report.

On Jan. 12, 2024, Chief Robert Bruce said he had ordered a “comprehensive review” of the investigation that resulted in Robert Mailman and Walter Gillespie serving long prison sentences for a 1983 murder they did not commit.
