Saint John , N.B. , police chief announced a review of his officers' conduct in the case of two men wrongfully convicted of murder.

Robert Mailman and Walter Gillespie spent 18 years in prison and served 21 years for a 1983 murder they did not commit.

The review was announced eight days after New Brunswick Court of King’s Bench Chief Justice Tracey DeWare exonerated the men.

Mailman, who is 76 and has terminal liver cancer, thinks he will die without seeing the results of the review or receiving an apology from the police.

“The next miscarriage of justice is just around the corner. It’s going to happen again.”.
