A retired Quebec judge convicted of first-degree murder will try next month to be freed from prison while the Federal Justice Department has another look at his case.
A bail hearing for Jacques Delisle will be held in Quebec City on October 18th and 19th.
The Crown has said it will oppose the release of Delisle, who is 81.
He was found guilty of first-degree murder in 2012 in the slaying of his wife, Nicole Rainville, in November 2009.
Delisle is the only Canadian judge ever convicted of first-degree murder.
In 2015, Delisle said in a televised jailhouse interview he'd helped Rainville take her own life by leaving a loaded gun for her to use and denied killing her.
