It's pretty black and white to me. If the review board, based on the expert opinions of the psychiatrists and other doctors, finds that he is no longer a risk to public he needs to be released under whatever conditions the review board finds necessary. Anything else would be an insult to our justice system. Canada is not, or should not, be a savage country. We should not punish innocent men (and as much as you may argue against it, our justice system did not find him guilty) and we do not act on ill-informed uneducated public feelings (except when it comes to water and dental health  ). If the review board has doubts, those doubts need to be from the experts and not "public opinion."
It's also been a year since he was first granted unescorted day passes to Winnipeg (and before that Selkirk). This has been a gradual process and the doctors would appear to be taking every precaution. |
I hope nothing bad ever happens to one of your family members because you will be a very torn person.
It's amazing how peoples hearts bleed for everyone but the victim or the family's effected.
