Quebec man acquitted of two first-degree murders after 46 years

Claude Paquin woke up Thursday as a free man for the first time in over 40 years after being acquitted of the 1978 first-degree murder of a couple. "I lived through hell," he told CTV News. Paquin was sentenced to life in prison in 1983 and his appeal was unsuccessful. He spent 18 years behind bars, then couldn’t go further than 50 kilometers from his home for another 20 or so years.
