Overview

  • Henry spent 27 years in prison before his 2018 exoneration and $8 million Charter breach payout
  • Five complainants sued him in 2017 and were awarded $375,000 each by the B.C. Supreme Court in January
  • The appeal panel barred seizure of his home or vehicle but mandated a $232,000 trust deposit pending appeal
  • Judges found $1.8 million of his post-payout funds unaccounted for and noted unexplained transfers between 2018 and 2023
  • Henry says he donated over $2 million, spent millions on his defence and now lives on old-age and Canada Pension Plan stipends
