OTTAWA — The haunting effect of Paul Bernardo's crimes lingered for Canadians nearly 30 years later, detailed in the hundreds of messages that poured into Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's office after the serial killer was transferred to a medium-secu
"I have a personal friend who was on that jury and she remains traumatized nearly 30 years later," one person wrote in correspondence obtained by The Canadian Press through a freedom-of-information request.
The outrage nevertheless prompted the head of the prison system to strike a review to see whether its decision was sound. The results of that probe were publicized last month, saying that the decision was correct and noting that the families of murder victims Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy could have been better notified.
Another said she was the same age as Bernardo's victims at the time:"I remember the fear my friends and I felt for the victims and for ourselves." "We were all frantically trying to find her … me and my three closest friends from that summer all suffered for years." "As a teenager I lived in Scarborough," one email said."I remember taking the bus home from high school and being afraid that the Scarborough Rapist may be on my bus."
