Wilbert Douglas Coffin était un prospecteur gaspésien né le 23 octobre 1915 à Sandy Beach en Gaspésie. Ancien combattant de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il a été condamné pour le meurtre de trois chasseurs américains et pendu le 10 février 1956 à la suite d'une longue affaire judiciaire qu'on a appelée et qu'on appelle toujours l'Affaire Coffin. De nos jours, de nombreuses personnes défendent encore l'innocence de Coffin. Cette affaire retentissante qui s'est déroulée au Québec contribua beaucoup à faire avancer l'idée de l'abolition de la peine de mort au pays.

Wilbert Coffin (23 October 1915 – 10 February 1956) was a Canadian prospector who was convicted of murder and executed in Canada. Montreal journalist, editor, author and politician Jacques Hebert raised doubt as to Coffin's guilt in J'accuse les assassins de Coffin, published in 1963. The book led to a royal commission which upheld the conviction. Eugene Lindsey, his 17-year-old son Richard, and 20-year-old Frederick Claar were last seen going into the woods to hunt in the Gaspé region of Quebec. Richard Lindsey had graduated from high school the day before the trip. A month later on 15 July 1953 the remains of Eugene were found torn apart by bears, and eight days later the bodies of Richard and Claar were found 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) away. Coffin was found to be in possession of some belongings of the deceased and was accused of ambushing the men and stealing more than $600. He and others were known to salvage abandoned property in the area, and claimed to have acquired the property when he found the dead men's abandoned vehicle. After his conviction Coffin went through seven reprieves where he was denied clemency by the Quebec Court of Appeals, the Canadian Supreme Court and the Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent's cabinet. He was hanged on 10 February 1956, having been denied his final wish to marry his partner Marion Petrie, mother of their 8-year-old son James.
