If this happened to a judge imagine just being a regular guy lol
@@01mustang05 relax k. 1000% you're doing nothin in support of it? Flapgum
He still got the gun, gave it to her and left her alone to do the deed. Knowing that she knew of
his affair and her terminal illness. Not much different than murder really.
He killed her. Shouldn't get new trial.
The law system in Canada is a joke...
F-it, let him rot. That's what they'd do to you and me! It's been documented, THAT'S how our justice system works!
I don't buy it. I think he killed her and is right where he is supposed to be!!
Marcia! Marcia! Marcia!!!
There will always be a Marcia
I agree!
Many ordinary people are wrongfully convicted!
Best comment here! Absolutely true
Dont feel sorry for him..he commited a crime by giving her wife a gun and going for a walk...are u kidding?
This case is just weird ..... Something isn't adding up. 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴
He is guilty. This is typical bs. He will go back to prison.
If so many people see this as injustice why did they convict him? It’s scary knowing that stuff like this can happen( convicted when innocent)
Often happens both ways
Even if his wife wanted to kill her self his still guilty, something is not right there !!
I watched the interview he gave to Fifth Estate 6 years ago. I believe he was telling the truth then, although he did lie to the police and refused to testify at the trial. He may not be the one who pulled the trigger, but he gave his wife a gun and went for a walk. The fact that she was an invalid and he was having an affair is a strong motive to help his wife to kill herself.
Affair doesn't make him a killer! if that's your justification.
He was having an affair for number of years, why he didn't kill her then?
Secondly, She suffered stroke. If you know stroke patients, they go through much tougher life and depression than normal people. Lot of them do commit or think about suicide.
He retired early to take care of her. Men don't necessarily think like that; to kill wife and continue affair especially when he is able to continue an affair without any repercussions for years. He is a judge, he knows better if he kills her and continue an affair, it would have been devastating.
Blame the culture of immorality and shamelessness; rather an individual. These things are facilitated in society we live in. It became a norm because certain things are not understood but accepted as freedom, which people meant to abuse. It wouldn't be a norm if certain limits are forced on to people, where they have to comply with some sort of morality and limits. There isn't moral code when freedoms are given and people are willing to exploit the situation for their advantage.

I did not say anywhere that he killed his wife but I did say that he helped her to shoot herself by giving her a gun and walked off.
Wow
@@adamali9346 The gun was probably his. Women don't get licenses for firearms. There's a reason he's behind bars. He also cheated on his wife, so that doesn't make him honest.
@@adamali9346 He left the gun in her hand, he's a judge and if he were over a case like this you would be convicted..
Ex F.B.I. guy and his daughter brutally killed an Irish citizen and now they also get a new trial it is not what you know but who you know like this judge they will walk.
A judge knows the law and understands the system far better than the rest of us. It's not very surprising that he was able to get a new trial.
It's your community that caused this issue. You people can't hold yourself accountable. So this is the results.
The Fifth Estate is the only CBC program that I watch now. It's always been top notch and I hope they keep producing excellent work.
Outstanding work, once again, by Mark and the team at the 5th Estate.
On this channel is nothing but lies and propaganda you better wake up... Why do you think they turn comments off on controversial videos... Do they think we're going to hurt each other's feelings... 😂
Outstanding BS is more like it
I initially went into the story completely convinced of this man's guilt but I don't believe that anymore. It's sad to say that if the laws had allowed doctor assisted suicide from the begining, as they should have, none of this would have happened.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💯
I agree
I do have to say that many ordinary citizens would not have anyone, aside prominent people, to advocate for their alleged innocence.
Not so. Guy Paul Morin, Donald Marshall... look up James Lockyer's Innocence Canada. Almost all are not prominent people. If a name like Morin is well known, it's bc of the notoriety of his case.
About time. It is unfair when people with privilege get snared by the legal system designed to keep the serfs contained. Happens in Australia too, but our High Court usually steps in to prevent the important peoeple spending too much time in gaol.
If you are reading this and don't know what came after the time this video was released, Delile was acquitted and left the court that day with his family. This clip doesn't give a lot of detail but there's a 42 minute Fifth Estate episode from 7 years ago (as of 2022) which goes into more detail. One thing that isn't mentioned in it was the pathologist did not have a proper and complete autopsy report as the brain was left untouched.
New trial, found innocent and then finally his long time mistress can divorce her husband and move in with him, as was the original plan. Should have set up a video camera for his sweet wife as proof of her “suicide” and he would never have been charged with her murder.
Nailed it 👏🏻
I hope they're right and not letting out a very sick person. Count Dracula 😳 that's mean but I can't help it. He hurt his wife and people can kill with their selfish intent. A slow death. It's horrible.
See the thing with this is, if he really just wanted to be with his mistress, wouldn’t he have at least lied and told his story to try to get out of it? He told his family the truth and they preferred that he kept it to himself, and he did that and is in prison. If he didn’t wanna go to jail wouldn’t he have at least tried to get out? No instead he went in silently and left it because it was the best for his family at the time. Honestly if I was with a terminally spouse and they wanted to end it, I probably would help them too. Why? Because I feel like sometimes it’s selfish for us to force people who are dying and just want to end it. Maybe that sounds crazy, but that’s just how I see it. I hate seeing people suffering as they slowly die, so why not speed up the inevitable on their own time?
Judging by the way the justice system works.....we all know he did it...
Don’t worry, the justice system will keep working until they get their Brother off the hook.
He's been in prison for about 9 years. He was offered a deal years ago (after conviction) Where he could have been out ages ago if he said he did it
@@Jill99ish innocent men don’t concede,
@@catherinesyme901 I know that's why he's finally free 👍🏼
For the sake of Justice there should be a new trial. If it is just dropped, the issue of whether he is guilty or innocent is left in the air. If guilty, then he should serve a sentence. If innocent then he should be exonerated which will not be acknoweldged unless he is found innocent in a court of law
The wife had fallen into depression after a stroke which left her paralyzed on one side followed by an accident where she broke her hip. Did she not want to live like this and put her family through the trauma she was going through? Or did he possibly want to help her end her life as well?
Thats all speculation
If Vampire is indeed real, look at this man...😆
Watched this year ago and good thing there's an update.
It's considered a real blemish on a Judge if a murder suspect gets acquitted, think about that..
I'd like to see this whole story , why aren't we going to see this ?
That is one EVIL looking man...ugh...
What other investigation shows can I look for that are like the fifth estate? I love this program
Dateline, w5 there’s so many
The Fifth Estate is an outstanding show.
The Fifth Estate is an outstanding show.
Yea w5 is the closest thing in canada, but if you understand French I would HIGHLY recommend enquete by radio canada.
" in sickness and in health til death do us part " and I assume the good judge said " I do" but sadly as time went by his wife came to know that he ' didn't '. Indeed, it will be interesting to follow what develops in this case.
Its not till death do us part anymore and divorce is allowed
this guy still alive?,I knew he was a vampire.
Well let's hope the new trial will reveal the whole truth, or at least most truth
Why put him behind bars for so long.
@@sueblanchard6563 Cause hes guilty. He knows how to play the judicial system. All evidence points to him.
@@synonymous_ you’re a clown.
Mark - Fix that Hair! ( you know it's bad if I call you out!!! LOL)
It has to be due to the fact there is new information? So no chance because he was a former judge that may have played a role in reviewing this case and making this change? Or the fact he most likely could afford better lawyers? Those are also a potential reason and absolutely should be considered. I just wonder if a construction worker in the exact same situation would get the same outcome, I doubt it.
Sadly many innocent people have been convicted
well, he is not innocent. But even if he gets a new trial and found innocent, the only person that is more likely to be danger from him getting out to the general population is his mistress if she marries him (a wife killer)
You have no proof of what happened so stop judging.
@The Fifth Estate what is the lastest update on this case?
Watch him get away with it now
And u find him guilty, How?
Sorry new to this channel ,did the fifth estate cover this case and is it on this channel? And what is it name is the documentary under please? Many thanks 😊
Yes, Fifth Estate (CBS News) covered it. It’s on TH-cam under this title...Jacques Delisle : Murder and The Judge - the fifth estate. Hope that helps
Thank you so much 😊😊
He's guilty!
When do we find out the final decision???
Any updates since this aired?
He's been acquitted .....Quebec justice for you!
He loaded and left the gun for her......soooo how is this a miscarriage?
How do you know?
160 requests; only six for ministry of justice to get involved, and a judge is one of the 6... hopefully the truth will be revealed, one way or another.
what a nightmare, if she killed herself and her husband has been in jail this whole time.
I think he deserves a new trial.
Appreciate Mark saying, "death BY suicide" and NOT "committed suicide"
Why? What’s the difference? That’s a serious question
@@victoriapelcher6356 As early as the 1950s suicide was a punishable offence, in Australia I know for sure. The individual although deceased could have their right to a funeral taken or lose everything they owned passing responsibility to the individuals family. So I think the term death by suicide takes away the stigma of it being a crime.
He would know how to appeal his case
Only because he’s a judge.
Absolute BS.. there is zero "justice" left in all this world
Did she leave a note?
What drives someone in a relationship to commit suicide?
Ask a few a questions of the accused.
People don't commit suicide without being in despair.
I know that's stating the obvious but married people have responsibility to know their partners.
She was extremely ill and felt like she was a burden. His family wanted him to say what happened at trial but he didn't want to cause further distress apparently.
It's a really interesting case and the judge have an interview a couple of years ago - have a quick look on TH-cam for "jacques delisle: murder and the judge" and you should come across them :)
@@patrynunes
Good recommend.
I think the Ballistics experts were correct.
He didn't pull the trigger.
Can't understand why experts are ignored.
Unless Judges think Ballistics is junk science.
What a joke.
Wow so its been 10 years... Him being old he should have been let out during covid epidemic serve house arrest rather than prison
So before gunshot residue testing??
Remember that case very well, and everyone judging him... I believe in his innocence, then and now! So glad he gets a new trial! This man is innocent!!!!! When someone re-watch my comment... (on the first report on him) You will see and how I got attacked for that opinion! His wife was done, she didn't want to suffer anymore!
I don’t know exactly why but I believe he didn’t do it. This was before MAID when there weren’t many options. It’s funny my Aunt suffered a devastating stroke last April at 86. She wasn’t able to move her right side, couldn’t talk, feed herself, walk, etc. She would not have wanted to live like that. She was placed in hospice & for 21 days did not have water or food until she passed. Nobody got arrested for that, yet which way was more humane & ended the suffering quicker?
If he had been a poor guy he wouldn't have that chance. It's amazing what money can buy......maybe even freedom.
Can a judge do this???Hope you got the right person.
There should be some kind of medical assistance for those who don't want to suffer. He perhaps shouldn't have given or left her with a loaded gun. We should all ask ourselves if your loved one is begging or suffering and pleading to die. What would you do? Would you help too? 🤔
Just taking care of my new daily goal is to make sure to let everyone know what BS propaganda this channel is and how they turn off comments on controversial videos it's so obvious... These people should pay for what they're doing big time
Good because he's obviously innocent
This is totally off subject, but I love Mark Kelley's kitchen♥️
TURTLENECK, SKELETOR
Of course from Quebec
I think it might have been assisted suicide.
The lawyer working hard on behalf of the INNOCENT who were wrongly convicted, is an admirable man! May justice prevail.
I wondered what happened to him
Free Jacques!!!
I been wrongly convicted, as nammed, a horse crazed
My Boy too,. As veteran i have 10 years investigation,,,,. I'm not danish
Since injustice in Canada seems to be the default position and has been for the last 5 years, I hope fervently Justice will prevail in this case.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
86!!! Please keep us updated.
why don't you add comments on other videos? COWARDS! such horrible journalism exposed you should be ashamed!!
✔
Count Dracula
If he is innocent I hope he Live his life in peace
It’s great that he gets a new trial!! That’s a good step towards justice!!
Did Mark Kelly just roll out of bed?
Rude
@@akimbo62
You poor uptight thing...you really should get out more.
@@phoenixrobinson4804 your mom should have taught you some manners and not to shame people. 😕
First
Have a gold star ⭐😁😷🇬🇧
So?
Stupid!
Thankfully the new ballistics evidence will probably free this man.
We should all leave our biases behind if we are going to support anything and anyone.
Just because this man LOOKS like Dracula and is a JUDGE doesn't mean he did it.
I followed this case earlier this year and really believe that this lady killed herself and this guy was caught up in the middle.
Ok wow. The evidence is 50/50 but this man gets life while the police that KILLED George Floyd plainly seen in the body cam video isn't in prison for life smh
George Floyd was NOT killed by anyone... he killed himself with an overdose... he was a dead man walking with a massive overdose and a heart condition... he would have died that day no matter what according to his autopsy...
@@Rubytheblueeyedwolf I agree with the lather comments.
🤡
If George Floyd was in prison for all the crimes he has committed over his entire criminal life/he wouldn’t be dead today. This is what happens when people get away with crap
The man was suffering from Anxiety and claustrophobia. Kneeling on someone's neck is detrimental if you look at biology. But since the police is white he isn't wrong. I hope someone offs him or some family member of his in the same way. The complain was floyd paid with a counterfeit note which was never substantiated. But for the sake of argument and white people always wanna be right- the officer was correct to kneel on the man's neck without testing if he is intoxicated from whatever, claimed he was resisting because floyd was explaining his illnesses. So by all means kneel on his neck! Toodles
