Roméo Phillion (April 29, 1939 – November 2, 2015) was convicted of the 1967 murder of Ottawa firefighter Léopold Roy, after making a confession to police which he recanted two hours later. He spent 31 years in prison and five years on parole. The case was reopened in 2006, and in March 2009, the Ontario Court of Appeal overturned his 1972 murder conviction and granted him a new trial, in part because a 1968 police report establishing a clear alibi for Phillion had not been turned over to his defence lawyer in his original trial. He was assisted by the Innocence Project and by lawyer James Lockyer, a director of the Association in Defence of the Wrongly Convicted. On 29 April 2010, crown prosecutors withdrew the murder charge against him.
