 Paris court asked to clear man of murder 82 yrs on   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Guillaume Seznec was found guilty in 1924 of killing his friend Pierre Quemeneur despite the fact the police were never able to produce the body, the murder weapon or even a witness.
Seznec always proclaimed his innocence and after more than 20 years of forced labour in sweltering French Guyana was finally pardoned by General Charles de Gaulle in 1946.
The judge in charge of presenting the case to the court said a recent investigation tended to confirm the case against Seznec, who died in a road accident in 1954, and added that the new elements required to clear him were too hazy.

 Dr. Samuel Sinner   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Jean Seznec's main thesis turns the prevailing model on its head by arguing that though the pagan gods were suppressed in the Middle Ages, their essence and their various modes of symbolization survived in the living traditions and customs of religion and culture throughout the entire medieval period.
As Seznec points out, this mirrors a dichotomy reaching back to the church's very birth and can be illustrated with reference to Augustine and Jerome: "Nurtured upon ancient letters of their classical memories and ways of thinking; as humanists, they continue to love what they condemn, or should condemn, as theologians" (265-66).
In the final analysis, we would advance the proposition that Jean Seznec's central contribution was the theory that the Middle Ages largely functioned as a continuator, and by no means simply a destroyer, of the living ethos and heritage of classical pagan philosophy and mythology.
