In 1974, 19 year-old Brian Anderson from Winnipeg was convicted of murder. Forty-five years later Brian continues to assert his innocence. In early January 2019, Innocence Canada submitted an application for Ministerial Review of Brian's case to the Criminal Convictions Review Group. The application consisted of 9 parts, 34 volumes and 7,000 pages of documentation.
In the season premier of W5 on Saturday, January 26th, Avery Haines investigated Brian Anderson's conviction through the lens of Innocence Canada's application to the Minister of Justice.

It was an honour to work on Brian's case and advocate on his behalf. An incredible man, an unbelievable story.
