Psychologist retracts claims about Norman Fox
Canada's senior prison psychologist William Ross admitted errors in a 1980 report that described Norman Fox as insensitive and likely to rape again. Testifying to a commission on Fox's compensation, Ross said Fox is capable of sensitivity, attributing past judgments to irritation at a wrongful conviction and noting Fox's high IQ. Fox, 48, was pardoned last year after more than eight years in jail for a 1976 rape.
