The parole board ruling denied him full parole, noting that while Muzzo had initially applied only for day parole, he was encouraged to apply for full parole, given the COVID-19 pandemic
When the Parole Board of Canada granted day parole to Marco Muzzo, a convicted drunk driver who killed four people, they noted psychiatric assessments placed him at a “low category of risk for re-offending” if released into the community.
The parole board imposes a number of conditions upon Muzzo when he’s on release, including prohibitions from entering Brampton, the community of King City or the town Aurora, without written consent of a parole officer. He’s also prohibited from consuming, buying or possessing alcohol and entering “drinking establishments.”
The children’s grandmother and great-grandmother were injured in the crash. On Tuesday, when Muzzo’s parole was announced, the mother of the children and Gary’s daughter, Jennifer Neville-Lake, said in a Facebook post that “nothing changes” for her. They had “expressed concerns” that he was over-working, but his parole officer “indicated that you were trying to keep yourself appropriately busy in the absence of correctional programming for which you did not qualify,” the board said.
“You indicated that it had helped to strengthen your resolve to abstain from alcohol and to be the best person you could be, not being consumed by what others thought of you and how you had to prove yourself to them,” the board wrote.
