TORONTO — Canadian Press reporter Hina Alam is this year's recipient of Innocence Canada's Tracey Tyler Award in recognition of her reporting on the case of two wrongfully convicted New Brunswick men.
New Brunswick Court of King's Bench Chief Justice Tracey DeWare acquitted Mailman and Gillespie on Jan. 4, and declared the justice system had failed the men, who received life sentences in 1984 for the killing of a man in Saint John the previous year. Alam stuck with the story after the men's names were cleared, chronicling the difficult conditions they still faced after being declared innocent and pressing the government on compensation.
"Through her compassionate and compelling reporting, Ms. Alam was instrumental in steadfastly holding the government of New Brunswick and the Saint John police accountable," Innocence Canada said in bestowing the award Wednesday night. Innocence Canada led the legal fight to exonerate Gillespie and Mailman.
