I know when Cody Legebokoff was recently sentenced, they had to give him concurrent sentences as well as the faint hope clause because even though that no longer exists, he committed his crimes when it still existed.

They labelled him a dangerous offender though and apparently when the opportunity for parole does come up, they take into consideration what the judge says at the time of sentencing. For that reason, the judge deliberately and explicitly said that he should never be let out and doesn't deserve to live among us. He knows that 20 years from now when many people forget the pain he caused, that his quotes will be used.

As for this case, obviously there can never be real justice, but at least they gave him everything they could. I am glad he at least showed a little remorse when it was over. He deserves to feel it forever.
