Wow, what a story. I feel so bad for Greg’s horrific experience back then. So glad to see him rise up and above all that to succeed in life and raise a good kid. 👏
What have ya all done lately to make a difference ... In someone's life. To help What..... . tell me be sides oh how horrible of course but ... The next step. Is wonder fullllll
Innocent and sent to prison is one thing. Innocent and sent to prison for brutally stabbing and killing your MOTHER is another!! How horrific to find her and have that image permanently in his brain. Did he have ANYBODY other than Tina support him??? Grand parents, cousins, aunts, uncles, friends?? Poor guy. How awful that would be. I think he has a better attitude than I would have after enduring all this.
I saw this story covered previously, and I am infuriated with the cops and the Crown that put an innocent man behind bars. They wore blinders and didn't look at anyone else. Look what happened to Guy Paul Morin. I hope Greg sued the crap out of the city.
I'm so sorry to hear what happened to him an innocent person sent to jail.. I pray the family will one day have peace and closure. May God bless them 😢
Whenever there's a case that has turned out crappy, it always comes down to a crappy police work. And hands up everybody who knew from the get-go that it was Brian 🙋🏻♀️ And where were the throngs of rabid reporters for Brian's non-trial? For any of his court appearances?? Invisible. Absolutely shameful.
Too bad Wayne Gorman, the Crown Prosecutor who wrongfully convicted Gregory Parsons, got rewarded for his negative behaviour as he's later promoted to a Judge. Gorman is now the most notorious Judge in Newfoundland and Labrador history as he's known for being heavy handed on offenders, notably sex offenders and abusers, frequently goes against sentencing recommendations which have Legal scholars like Archie Kaiser raise red flags, and has a high successful appeal rate against him.
Newfoundland and Labrador even rewards negative behaviour as the Crown Prosecutor responsible for Gregory Parsons' wrongful conviction, notably Wayne Gorman, is now a heavy handed Judge.
A terrible injustice and I hope Greg got a good payout for the wrong done to him, and I hope Doye spends the rest of his life in jail, the police were so easy on him, it is crazy...is that the justice system Canadians havew...
An apology??? I wouldn't be able to sleep at night, being one of the people, who convicted the young man... He found his mom, in that way, and was still in shock, and grieving and they arrested him for the murder, wth? 😱
A living survivor of one of my absolute worst nightmares. I understand his steadfast stubborn fight for justice. I wish him and his family, peace and contentment and the ability to let it lie. I am praying that for him. I think his mum would smile to see her boy at peace. Touched my heart. Huge respect
Injustices are the hardest things to overcome. It destroys your soul. When you are an honest decent person like Greg it’s beyond galling to suffer the injustice he endured. The truth shall prevail but the pain until it does prevail is unbearable.
Thank you for covering the story. The face transitions are so beautifully done, so incredible to see the aging over time. Great work on the total package.
I lived on James place when ms. Parsons was murdered, I was just ten years old at the time. I knew Greag and his Mom they were great people. I shoveled there walkway a couple times and earned some money for myself. They were a nice family. My mom was certain right from the start that Greag did not hurt his Mom he loved her dearly. Very sad what happened to Ms. Parsons and what Greag had to go through. I remember listening to Greag and his friends play music is his basement. Me and a couple buddies listened from outside the basement window. They played metal style music that song was just a song and no more to it than that. I remember being scared after the murder knowing a murderer was lose and James place had a heavy police presence 24/7 for some time after.
I am so sorry that you spent such a long time in jail for something that you did not do, Greg. God bless you and your lovely wife and your son. Much aroha to you all from New Zealand.🙏🙏❤❤
Let’s be real, no jury truly believed that he killed his mother. Some jurors just think that a defendant wouldn’t be charged if they weren’t guilty and the fear of letting a killer go free is greater than the fear of putting an innocent man behind bars. And I am so sick and tired of everyone getting plea deals when these criminals deserve to ACTUALLY get life. In Canada everyone gets out early and plea deals puts killers, rapists and pedophiles out on the street early and long before the public thinks. And yes this is a reality that hits home for me and more than a few people that I know personally. Some people cannot be reformed and some people don’t DESERVE to be reformed.
In 2003, Brian Doyle was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 18 years, a sentence he unsuccessfully tried to have reduced (screenshot from file footage) Horrible pain for Greg and family.
Dear Greg & Tina..God Bless you both and hope and pray you get $$$million settlements from the total incompetence of the police! Nothing will ever bring your loved one back, you have so much to be proud! Wonderful person, great son, know you are admired everywhere. Love from PE. 🙏🙏🤗🤗❤️❤️🌹🇨🇦
I know how he feels. When the police do a Mr. Big, you never forget it. And to make matters worse, because the 24/7 surveillance and harassment I experience targeted, the pain never goes away, you can't heal. This country truly is evil.
Such a shame the police could not be sued for lazy detective work. And the fact this murderer is to be fre3d after a cushy ride in minimum security jail makes a mockery of your justice system. So sad for the family
First they blamed the son for killing his mother, then the hace the killer and will let him out on the streets..wthell is wrong with the justice symstem??
Their accent sounds just like the Waterford or Kilkenny accent; that is accent from South East Ireland. I thought at first it was just them and they must have recently emigrated but whenI I found that others in the documentary spoke the same, I read up on it and found that a large proportion of immigrants to New Foundland came from those parts.
It’s worth a visit. I was amazed to hear the accent too. There’s another place in Canada where you hear a very pure Irish accent, the Ottawa Valley up near Renfrew and Pembroke Ontario. Amazing how it has survived.
@@bradpaul8576 I live in Newfoundland and i have more of the old cockney English accent but we've lost so much of it over the years. But my accent now is a soup of old English, Irish and Scottish and a s'matter of French accent. i had no idea about the Ottawa Valley! I must check it out.
My parents worked in the law enforcements for decades. The experienced from the forces with tons of darkness, covered ups, manifestations, etc. Did you, as reporter gone further asked those investors about James case?
Woww what a story thats a first degree murder she was stab 52 times,, 2nd degree is a slap in the face for greg and tina,, i hope greg get money from the goverment,,for lost time behide bars,, its sad,,😢 hugs
Sadly, the Supreme Court is no different than any other publicly funded institution in Canada. There is no JUSTICE. There is only "to serve and protect" the civil servants who contravene and VIOLATE their own rules and the oaths they swore. Lawyers talk with lawyers, not their clients. The relationships are with colleagues. We have a group of lawyers that go through the facade of taking instructions from their clients. What actually happens is that the lawyer will withdraw services if their expertise is not followed. The idea that, "no one knows your case better than you", is the hook lawyers use to have you buy into their narrative, they are on your side narrative. Money is their only objective, not JUSTICE. CITIZENS, only when you experience the TERROR government agencies put on a member of their communities can one understand. There are no words I can share with this man to make his world better. A lazier group of public servants can not be found than police agencies. To those members that are a credit to the profession, stay safe. I encourage members to NOT turn a blind eye to the misconduct and to NOT alter/fabricate reports to promote the toxic culture. Stay safe❤
How many others maybe wrong fully convicted. It happens every where & Unfortunately Every DAY. Been there my self. Fortunately. I was BLESSED W/a PD. That did her job & believed me. 🙏🙏.
Each & every thing, case, etc. those investigators, prosecutors & superiors ecer worked neefs to be analyzed or reinvestigated by independent neutral eye. They & their analysis, investigations & conclusions annot be trusted or relied upon.
If you want justice, Canada is NOT the place to live. The victims are ALWAYS victims because most of the crimes, no matter how evil they are, basically are a slap on the wrist. This man should have been compensated millions because of his wrongful conviction, especially on the complete lack of evidence the police had. There’s no way anyone could feel safe living in this area where the police department is so incompetent and are immune to any type of accountability. Doesn’t look like they’re ever going to make this right or that the evil this monster did will be punished in This lifetime but it WILL COME, Eventually…
This is Not the frist horrific screw up in Newfoundland Baby Zachery? The mother wanted for shooting the father in the usa .she fighting exerditition out on bail visitation of their 2 yr old she walked im into the ocen drowning them. Both horrific yep good ole newfoundland
What an amazingly loyal girlfriend and eventual wife. I would think most relationships would not survive this process. Kudos to both.
Wow, what a story. I feel so bad for Greg’s horrific experience back then. So glad to see him rise up and above all that to succeed in life and raise a good kid. 👏
What have ya all done lately to make a difference ...
In someone's life.
To help
What.....
. tell me be sides oh how horrible of course but ... The next step. Is wonder fullllll
What a horrible ex childhood friend. So evil and should have been given 1st degree. That was so wrong. May she RIP. Condolences to family
Innocent and sent to prison is one thing. Innocent and sent to prison for brutally stabbing and killing your MOTHER is another!! How horrific to find her and have that image permanently in his brain. Did he have ANYBODY other than Tina support him??? Grand parents, cousins, aunts, uncles, friends?? Poor guy. How awful that would be. I think he has a better attitude than I would have after enduring all this.
Right on my friend, that's the most powerful statement I have seen.
I saw this story covered previously, and I am infuriated with the cops and the Crown that put an innocent man behind bars. They wore blinders and didn't look at anyone else. Look what happened to Guy Paul Morin. I hope Greg sued the crap out of the city.
yes, yes, Yes
This couple, the love and trust they have for eachother, I'm so glad. ❤
I'm so sorry to hear what happened to him an innocent person sent to jail.. I pray the family will one day have peace and closure. May God bless them 😢
what God god who, the one thats as brutal vindictive you can get.
Whenever there's a case that has turned out crappy, it always comes down to a crappy police work.
And hands up everybody who knew from the get-go that it was Brian 🙋🏻♀️
And where were the throngs of rabid reporters for Brian's non-trial? For any of his court appearances?? Invisible. Absolutely shameful.
Clearly not guilty.......hope he sues them all
I agree. He must sue them for millions of dollars.
In the United States, he would have automatically been awarded money for wrongful imprisonment for every MONTH of his incarceration. 🎉
Too bad Wayne Gorman, the Crown Prosecutor who wrongfully convicted Gregory Parsons, got rewarded for his negative behaviour as he's later promoted to a Judge.
Gorman is now the most notorious Judge in Newfoundland and Labrador history as he's known for being heavy handed on offenders, notably sex offenders and abusers, frequently goes against sentencing recommendations which have Legal scholars like Archie Kaiser raise red flags, and has a high successful appeal rate against him.
@HalifaxHercules yeah Gorman granted me an appeal one time.
The sad part about wrongful convictions (blinders by police) is that the general public try and convict without any evidence, just on hearsay.
People are sheep. They believe anything.
Newfoundland and Labrador even rewards negative behaviour as the Crown Prosecutor responsible for Gregory Parsons' wrongful conviction, notably Wayne Gorman, is now a heavy handed Judge.
A terrible injustice and I hope Greg got a good payout for the wrong done to him, and I hope Doye spends the rest of his life in jail, the police were so easy on him, it is crazy...is that the justice system Canadians havew...

Horrible ,Horrible, Horrible, on all levels !!.
A living survivor of one of my absolute worst nightmares. I understand his steadfast stubborn fight for justice. I wish him and his family, peace and contentment and the ability to let it lie.

Lovely couple.... So sad how they treated him... Shame onthose cops
He should have sued the county for everything he could get out of them
I'm surprised they didn't try to get Brian to say Greg was in on it
Friends like Brian, you don't need enemies.
And letting Brian plead to the lesser charge of 2nd degree murder; you dont have true justice either.
Thank you for covering the story. The face transitions are so beautifully done, so incredible to see the aging over time. Great work on the total package.
Is disgusting, Doyle must have life in prison with NO possibility of parole...disgusting

What a woman for sticking by his side. Another example of police tunnel vision. Still happens today sadly. So glad the truth came out eventually.
What Brian did is horrific and also what he will do if ever released as shown with the interview for a "hitman job". He is a cold blooded sick killer.
It makes me so happy that the family made it through this nightmare. ❤
I am so sorry that you spent such a long time in jail for something that you did not do, Greg. God bless you and your lovely wife and your son. Much aroha to you all from New Zealand.🙏🙏❤❤
What about what the police did to him. Sicking there police dogs on him. Those cops should have lost their jobs. Should have been a major lawsuit.
Let’s be real, no jury truly believed that he killed his mother. Some jurors just think that a defendant wouldn’t be charged if they weren’t guilty and the fear of letting a killer go free is greater than the fear of putting an innocent man behind bars.

Appeal to the Supreme Court and sue them
In 2003, Brian Doyle was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 18 years, a sentence he unsuccessfully tried to have reduced (screenshot from file footage) Horrible pain for Greg and family.
Such a sweet, sweet family. Peace and love to them all. 💕
How awful for this man. At least the killer was finally found but at such a cost! Such a shame to be convicted based mostly on a music recording.
The cops suck. The justice system is not just.
They almost convicted an innocent son and ruined his life.
This is aweful seeing with this man went threw. God bless you Greg
Strong man, strong woman behind the man. ❤
My late mother was from St John’s Newfoundland it’s strange to hear stories from there
Do you know what area of St. John’s
wow did not know this. We have walked on the beach by this prison on Vancouver Island. Horrible to think this person could be released here.
Dear Greg & Tina..God Bless you both and hope and pray you get $$$million settlements from the total incompetence of the police!
Nothing will ever bring your loved one back, you have so much to be proud! Wonderful person, great son, know you are admired everywhere. Love from PE. 🙏🙏🤗🤗❤️❤️🌹🇨🇦
How can ANYONE even consider parole for a pathological liar- murderer like this man?????
I'm a Newfoundlander and this just doesn't happen!
I think Bent feels guilty because of the portrayal of his reporting.
I know how he feels. When the police do a Mr. Big, you never forget it. And to make matters worse, because the 24/7 surveillance and harassment I experience targeted, the pain never goes away, you can't heal. This country truly is evil.
Wife looks like Bernadette Peters
complete hearsay. That's terrible.
thats why i don’t believe there is justice..because the justice alone sucks!
You're tha one !
Wonderful wife who stood by u.Sue them and move on with ur wonderful family.May God bless url.South Africa
Sue them and move on are mutually exclusive.
Such a shame the police could not be sued for lazy detective work. And the fact this murderer is to be fre3d after a cushy ride in minimum security jail makes a mockery of your justice system. So sad for the family
And a guy just got off because it took too long to bring him to trial. Our incompetent Nfld justice system
First they blamed the son for killing his mother, then the hace the killer and will let him out on the streets..wthell is wrong with the justice symstem??
They are a Power Couple from Newfoundland.
As a person familiar with St. John’s..the cops are always looking for how to advance their careers!
Something like this is common place!
What a truly beautiful family he and his wife created. Amazing people.
Their accent sounds just like the Waterford or Kilkenny accent; that is accent from South East Ireland. I thought at first it was just them and they must have recently emigrated but whenI I found that others in the documentary spoke the same, I read up on it and found that a large proportion of immigrants to New Foundland came from those parts.
yeah there is a strong old English and Irish accent here.
It’s worth a visit. I was amazed to hear the accent too. There’s another place in Canada where you hear a very pure Irish accent, the Ottawa Valley up near Renfrew and Pembroke Ontario. Amazing how it has survived.

Seriously I lnew it was him when they said he lived 2 doors down.
Lazy prosecutors. Lazy system.
I’m crying for Greg and Tina ❤🙏🇨🇦
My parents worked in the law enforcements for decades. The experienced from the forces with tons of darkness, covered ups, manifestations, etc.
Did you, as reporter gone further asked those investors about James case?
Why did he kill her? What was the reason? 🤷♀️ Why did Brian kill Greg's mother? Brian needs a good lawyer and Sue, Sue, Sue!!
You need some brains if you think Brian needs a good lawyer,what idiotic statement!
???
They say what a motive is at the end of the story.
This is wrong accusation. Justice is horrible wrong .
Thank you for sharing your story…. The justice system of this country needs to be ashamed of their incapacities
I wonder if there is the possibility for a wrongful death suit or if it’s too late for that.
DID GREG PARSONS ever sue for financial damages?
I'd fucking hope so . What an unreal story
Why do they always think its a family member 🧐🧐🧐
I knew it was that guy when they said he handed over the song.
Hope Greg got compensation poor family 🥲🥲
But what was the MOTIVE of his best friend to brutally kill his mother and frame him for it? 😫
Merci beaucoup pour l'histoire de Greg St. Johns❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Millions of blessings,
Esther St Juste
Greg it’s awful what you went through. Rip to ur mother
Woww what a story thats a first degree murder she was stab 52 times,, 2nd degree is a slap in the face for greg and tina,, i hope greg get money from the goverment,,for lost time behide bars,, its sad,,😢 hugs
Y’all don’t know how hard it to be innocent and people trying to charge you for crimes you didn’t do whew 😥 I’m so tired

Stay safe❤
Get the son get compensation for the wrongful conviction?
What a lovely young man they have raised.
what a ghoulish song, wouldn't have gone down well with the jury
what was used to convict him the evidence was nothing.......
Hey Greg, don't let the SOB consume you.
Understandably he is consumed with the pure evil murder of his mother!!!
How many others maybe wrong fully convicted. It happens every where & Unfortunately Every DAY. Been there my self. Fortunately. I was BLESSED W/a PD. That did her job & believed me. 🙏🙏.
Greg, thanks for your service.
You are a tribute to your province.
Police have blood on their hands ✋️ 😤 discussing Discussing Discussing creature
Each & every thing, case, etc. those investigators, prosecutors & superiors ecer worked neefs to be analyzed or reinvestigated by independent neutral eye. They & their analysis, investigations & conclusions annot be trusted or relied upon.
God bless you Greg .
That Hi! Hi! Hi! is a mimic of Ha Ha Ha in the song.
Such incompetent buffoons of the criminal protection system! Feel so bad for the poor guy and his wonderful wife.
Hey on that call Greg sounds Soo out of it I can visualize his face twisted with visceral pain . Shock terror ' wat are the cops talking bout yikes
sue um
His family was so supportive, sad but they are a wonderful family.
Until you get proper proff than you arest not base on fake witnesses
The music tape reminds me of the orisayna gaal case and how her ternage sons were suspected cause of the music that they played
