Accused of killing his wife, the 86-year-old man got a second trial following an application for judicial review.

Delisle, however, believes the Court should end the proceedings, as she claims she was a victim of abuse by the authorities.

Mistakes allegedly

His lawyers say the mistakes made by the prosecution experts will prevent him from having the right to a full and complete defense.

They also say that these mistakes can cause unreasonable delays, necessitating the end of the legal process.

The Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions (DPCP) disagreed, and asked the judge to uphold the first degree murder charge against the former Court of Appeal judge.

Sentenced in 2012

Jacques Delisle was sentenced to life in prison in 2012 for the murder of Nicole Rainville, who was found dead by a bullet to the head.

The jury disbelieved the defense, arguing that the 71-year-old woman had lost her life.

The verdict was upheld by the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court refused to hear the case.

Delisle was able to convince the Federal Minister of Justice that he may have been a victim of miscarriage of justice, after submitting new expert reports.

His experts questioned the work of the pathologist who performed the autopsy that served to convict him.

Second test, or not

Jacques Delisle was jailed for nine years, then released, after the federal Minister of Justice gave him a second trial.

Judge Jean-François Émond, who reviewed the motion for stay of proceedings, must now announce whether this second hearing will take place or not.
