David Milgaard is a Canadian who was wrongfully convicted for the murder and rape of nursing assistant Gail Miller. His case received international attention and today is a staple of high school and university legal studies.
Milgaard was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison, on January 31, 1970, exactly a year after Miller’s murder.
To date, the David Milgaard case has been the subject of two movies: the 1992 documentary “The David Milgaard Story”, directed by Vic Sarin, and the 1999 docudrama “Milgaard”, directed by Stephen Williams and starring Ian Tracey.
The song “Wheat Kings” by The Tragically Hip (from their 1992 album Fully Completely) contains references to the Milgaard story.
