Judge acquits vulnerable man of murder due to 'oppressive' Winnipeg police interrogation

A man described as a vulnerable person with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder was acquitted of second-degree murder last month, after a Winnipeg judge found his police statement was made up of details he fabricated under pressure — as two detectives took turns screaming at him “at the top of their lungs” — and barred it from being used as evidence in his trial.
