  6.  @张玉栋-q1h  FIRST READING: The heinous offenders Canada has freed in just the last three months Despite assurances that Robert Pickton will never obtain parole, it's not entirely beyond the realm of possibility This month, one of Canada’s most notorious serial killers officially became eligible to apply for day parole. Published Feb 28, 2024 • Last updated Feb 28, 2024 • 8 minute read It was 22 years ago that Robert Pickton was first arrested at his Port Coquitlam pig farm under suspicion of being personally responsible for scores of women disappearing from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Convicted for the second-degree murder of six women, Pickton has confessed to killing as many as 49. But under Canadian criminal law, there is zero mechanism to sentence an offender to life imprisonment. While Pickton was technically handed a “life” sentence, that just means his parole conditions never expire. Like any convicted murderer, he can apply for day parole just 22 years after his arrest, and full parole after 25 years. On the day before Pickton’s parole eligibility, families of his victims gathered outside the farm where he had committed the murders. Speaking to the Canadian Press, they said lawyers had assured them that Pickton would never be paroled, but that they had few reasons to believe them. “I don’t trust the system. There’s always going to be that fear,” said Lorelei Williams, cousin of Pickton victim Tanya Holyk. While Pickton may yet remain a special case, the Canadian justice system has indeed granted parole to any number of heinous criminals that the public assumed would never get out, including mass shooters, serial killers, cannibals, cop-killers and the murderers of children.
