Jacques Mungwarere

Jacques Mungwarere: Jacques Mungwarere, only the second person to be tried under the Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act in Canada, would have faced an automatic sentence of life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years if he had been convicted, according to CBC. The not guilty verdict, however, may not be the end of Mungwarere's legal troubles and An Ontario Superior Court judge said Friday a Rwandan refugee accused of crimes against humanity is "probably guilty," but ruled the Crown didn't prove its case beyond all doubt. But the judge decided none of the witnesses on either side was completely believable and therefore the threshold of guilt "beyond reasonable doubt" was not met. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
