Episode Details

Mark Grant, the man acquitted in the 1984 murder of Winnipeg teen Candace Derksen, has been sentenced to ten years for a brutal sexual assault in Vancouver — a crime that unfolded over five harrowing hours when he lured a 61-year-old neighbor into his apartment with drugs, subdued her with a glue trap, threatened her with a knife, and then assaulted her. The victim, who begged him to stop, escaped by promising more drugs — and later reported it to her son. Evidence including glue traps, belts, clothing, and DNA confirmed his guilt. Though his past acquittal looms large, this conviction marks a powerful moment of justice — even as trauma remains.
