OPINION: Mother of B.C. man stabbed to death outraged over killer’s imminent release
“Our grief over the loss of our beloved Doug is now compounded with this shocking injustice,” she said after the March 2019 sentencing.
“Accumulation of time-and-a-half is very frustrating to me and I think it’s very disrespectful to the victims and the survivors.” “Statutory release is a mandatory release by law,” according to VictimsInfo.ca, an online resource website for victims of crime in B.C. “Offenders on statutory release are required to follow standard conditions that include reporting to a parole officer, remaining within geographic boundaries, and obeying the law and keeping the peace.”
“People need to know that there are offenders on our street that have been assessed high risk for violence and high risk for sexual abuse,” Barbara said. “They are walking on our streets right now and there will be another one in November. That is not OK.”
