Former judge Jacques Delisle will return to court Thursday morning. He will enter a guilty plea, indicates his lawyer, Mr. Jacques Larochelle. However, it is not known to which charge he will plead guilty.

The report by Camille Carpentier.
After a request for judicial review, Jacques Delisle, who was serving a life sentence, was finally entitled to a second trial following a decision by the federal Minister of Justice who had reason to believe that x27;a miscarriage of justice had been committed in this case.
After the proceedings were stopped due to the unacceptable negligence of the pathologist responsible for Nicole Rainville's autopsy, this second trial never took place and the ex-judge has been a free man ever since.
