No Memory for Murder
The Incredible Story of a Sadistic Murder in Halifax's Point Pleasant Park
-
The spellbinding true story of murder in a popular Halifax park, high courtroom drama, and hints of demonic possession and satanic worship. In 1974, Jimmy Odo was charged with the murder of a fourteen-year-old boy, who had been found strung up crucifixion-style in Halifax’s Point Pleasant Park. Seven years later Jimmy was charged with the bludgeoning death of his former girlfriend’s five-year old daughter. At trial in 1981, Odo testified that he had lied to avoid conviction for the 1974 murder and spoke of satanic worship with a Montreal group led by Marlene Dufoure, the high priestess of the cult. No Memory for Murder is the true story of two brutal murders, a flawed parole system that granted early release to a convicted sex offender with known homicidal tendencies, the unethical conduct of two defense lawyers, and the sick mind of a killer.
