Ontario's attorney general says Robert Baltovich will not receive compensation even though he served eight years in prison before being acquitted in 2008 in the slaying of his girlfriend, Elizabeth Bain.
Attorney General Chris Bentley says financial compensation is not appropriate in the Baltovich case.
Bentley says in each stage of the case, the Crown and police "acted with integrity" and in the best interests of the administration of justice.
The minister has also decided not to compensate Anthony Hanemaayer, who was wrongfully convicted of sexual assault in 1987.
Bentley says that case involved, among other things, a "voluntary, unequivocal and informed" guilty plea and "honest but mistaken" identity evidence.
