Second-degree murder is the charge the release says was filed Nov. 2 in Moncton Provincial Court. A charge filed that morning is not a finding that Jean-Francois Marcil killed Roger Maillet. Remanded into custody, and a return date of Nov. 9, are not a sentence. The release spells him Jean-Francois, with no accent on Francois.
