I lied, Truscott witness told friends

[CHIMO]

Elizabeth Hulbert has a clear memory of gathering with fellow nursing students in Montreal and hearing a key witness from the Steven Truscott case confess to lying at his murder trial.

It was the fall of 1966 and the Supreme Court of Canada was about to review the case. When it came up in conversation at their student residence, one young woman “piped up and said, `I was one of the witnesses at the Steven Truscott trial and I lied,’.” Hulbert testified Wednesday.

Hulbert said she discussed the 1966 incident with her aunt shortly afterwards and Stolzmann said she reported it to police. But for the next 34 years, they lived with their memories, until the CBC aired a television program about the case in 2000.

After Gaudet spoke, the room suddenly became quiet, Hulbert testified Wednesday. She told the court she remembers asking Gaudet why she lied at the trial and believes Gaudet said it was because she was “jealous” and “wanted to get back” at Truscott.

Gaudet said she was Truscott’s girlfriend and didn’t want him to know she had followed him and Lynne that night, hiding in some sort of gulley on the side of the road, Stolzmann said.

1. The whole Truscott case has been a lie right from the start

I hope and pray they are able to overturn his wrongful conviction. I'm glad it's all coming to light now. I cannot begin to imagine what that man has gone through over the years. I'm from Ontario, very close to the area where all of this took place. I never once thought he was guilty.

thanks for posting this thread.
