When 74-year-old Lise Fredette disappeared in November 2014, the only traces found were a house key, her glasses, an earring and some blood in the driveway of her home in Peterborough, Ontario. Shortly after, Andy Watson, an ex-boyfriend, was arrested and charged with her murder and jailed as an untried prisoner for two-and-a-half years. Despite the absence of a body, Watson was convicted and sentenced to 25 years’ imprisonment. He continues to protest his innocence. His letters from prison to his old friend Jimmy in Scotland form the backbone of Rough Justice in Ontario. They offer a unique perspective on Canadian judicial and penal systems.
