John and ended outside Rogersville; rewards of $50,000 were collected for the information that led to his arrest. Trial and conviction In August 1990, Legere was convicted on charges pertaining to his escape, and sentenced to an additional nine years. His trial for the murders began with an indictment in November of that year. Legere's trial featured the first Canadian uses of DNA profiling to convict rather than exonerate; in November 1991, Legere was convicted of the murders committed while he had been at large. Present In 2015, Legere was transferred from the super-maximum security penitentiary (the "SHU", in Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines, Quebec) to the Edmonton Institution in Alberta. In 1996, the provincial jail in Fredericton was shut down, and in 1999 the building was repurposed into a science museum; the cell in which Legere was held during his 1991 trial is now used for an exhibit on DNA profiling. In August 2020, Legere applied for day parole. Although the parole board notice does not guarantee he will be granted day parole, the request raised concerns in the Miramichi community. Legere was scheduled for a parole hearing on January 13, 2021, where he was denied. See also List of serial killers by country References Further reading Raymond Fraser.
