Families of Paul Bernardo's victims demand killer's return to maximum security
"We urge you to restore public confidence in the correctional system and the administration of justice by rescinding the transfer order," Timothy Danson, counsel for the families of Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy, wrote in a letter sent to CSC commissioner Anne Kelly on Friday.
He wrote that reversing the transfer would spare his clients the hardship of travelling to La Macaza for an upcoming parole hearing. "I think we've got unanimity in Parliament — how often does that happen? — where everyone considers this shocking and outrageous," he said. For more than a decade, the Office of the Federal Ombudsman for Victims of Crime has been caling on CSC to do a better job of informing victims' families of transfer decisions.
"Does anyone at CSC appreciate the devastating grief experienced by the Mahaffy family at this time of year?" he wrote in the letter. The La Macaza Institution is located about 200 kilometres northwest of Montreal in the Laurentian Mountains.
