ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this gripping episode, we delve into one of Canada's darkest chapters of injustice, unraveling the troubling story of Dr. Charles Smith—a once-revered forensic child pathologist whose career took a catastrophic turn. In 1999, he was hailed as a national expert by The Fifth Estate, but behind his esteemed reputation lay a string of devastating mistakes. A 2005 Ontario coroner's review of 45 autopsies revealed that Smith had drawn questionable conclusions of foul play in nearly half the cases, leading to 13 wrongful criminal convictions.
Join us as we investigate the profound consequences of one man performing a job he was unqualified for. We will not only uncover the extent of his errors but also shine a light on the innocent people wrongfully convicted in the wake of his incorrect conclusions.
