In 1989, Nova Scotia schoolteacher Clayton Johnson left for work. Later that morning, Mrs. Molloy arrived to drop off her child at the Johnson home. She found Clayton's wife Janice Johnson lying at the bottom of the basement stairs in a pool of blood and it was determined to be an accident. Later on, Clayton Johnson married a 22-year-old member of his Pentecostal congregation. When homicide investigator Brian Oldford heard this, he became suspicious and decided to reinvestigate. He learned that Clayton had taken out a $125,000 life insurance policy on Janice shortly before she died. Clayton Johnson was charged with first-degree murder. By examining the photos and nature of the injuries, they were convinced that she had fallen backwards. The accidental fall scenario would also account for the complete lack of defensive wounds on Mrs. Johnson or Mr. Johnson. Testimony was presented to the Canadian high courts and a decision is pending.
