R v Turcotte : ウィキペディア英語版 | R v Turcotte ''R v Turcotte'', () 2 S.C.R. 519 is a leading Supreme Court of Canada decision on the common law right to silence and the conditions to waive that right. ==Background== Three men who worked at a ranch in British Columbia were murdered with an axe. Thomas Turcotte, a work-hand at the ranch, claimed to have found the bodies of the three men but denied killing them. He went to the police to tell them to send someone to the ranch, but he would not explain why, even at the insistence of the police. When the bodies were found Turcotte was charged with murder. At trial the judge instructed the jury that his silence was admissible as evidence of "post-offence conduct", from which guilt could be inferred. All of the evidence was circumstantial, but Turcotte was found guilty of murder. The defence appealed on the grounds that silence could not be "post-offence conduct". The British Columbia Court of Appeal agreed and overturned the conviction.
