When he was released from custody in February, the fugitive alleged spree killer Myles Brandon Sanderson had been assessed at high risk of spousal violence and high risk to reoffend with violence. But he was released all the same, as a risk that could be managed.
He had told the parole board that his use of drugs and alcohol makes him lose my mind, and has been a key factor in his criminal violence.
Sanderson, 31, has a total of 59 criminal convictions for drunk driving and related offences, drug possession, assault and robbery, and was still bound by a federal sentence of more than four years for a suite of charges involving domestic violence, according to records of the Parole Board of Canada.
He served more than two thirds of that time, however, and so was granted statutory release with conditions last summer. But then he deceived his parole supervisor about his contact with his common law partner and their five children, and so his statutory release was suspended last November. That suspension was lifted in February, freeing him again with an added condition about how he may contact the woman.

(102,277 posts)Since when is such ugly bigotry (RW-promoted) acceptable here?
Such horrific wanton negligence of the criminal justice system needs to be addressed--whether in Canada or in the US. But to blame it all on "indigenous people getting 'special' consideration? Really?

(3,337 posts)I hazard predictive and deceptive counter-narratives oozing self-righteous sanctimony on our cable news coverage over the coming days.
That aside, I feel relief that I can't really wrap my head around Sanderson's cursed behavior, could be gazing into the abyss for too long.
