Steven Truscott

Steven Murray Truscott (b. Janurary, 1945) is a Canadian man who was convicted of murder in 1959. Since his release on parole in 1969, he has maintained that he was wrongfully convicted, and has recently campaigned to have his name cleared.

Cultural Aspects

The plot of Ann-Marie MacDonald's 2003 novel The Way the Crow Flies is based on a fictionalized version of the Truscott case, and the surrounding community's reaction to the incident. (MacDonald herself was raised in the same region, during the same time period as the Truscott case.)
