Présumé innocent : l'affaire France Alain

When Michelle Perron leaves her job at the Laval medical polyclinic on the evening of December 15, 1987, it is the snowstorm of the year in Quebec. In the minutes that follow, this mother of three is brutally stabbed in her vehicle. It is the start of the most incredible murder case in Quebec history, which will fascinate the people and the media.

The Laval police lead the investigation and everything points in the direction of Gilles Perron, a well-known Radio-Canada director and Michelle's husband, since he was at the scene of the crime. A wiretap is performed and its content is explosive, especially as it involves a high profile business figure.

Benoit Proulx is sentenced to life in prison for the murder of France Alain, but this verdict is quickly overturned by the Court of Appeal. Several leads as to other potential suspects, however, seem to have been ruled out. One of them particularly attracts our attention.

Benoît Proulx goes all the way to the Supreme Court, which confirms his innocence and awards him $2.3 million in compensation. An unexpected lead that potentially involves members of organized crime resurfaces and a former biker agrees to talk to us about it.
