More than 120 students signed a petition calling for McGill University to allow a 61-year old man who strangled a woman to death and left another severely disabled back on campus. The killer is serving a life sentence but living in a halfway house and is allowed to attend the law school. The parole board refused his day parole request in 2022, judging him to be a "moderate to high risk of re-offending," but the refusal was overridden by a court that found that board erred in not taking account his Indigenous identity in reaching its decision. The Gladue Laws require leniency for indigenous criminals. His parole was briefly rescinded in May 2025 after it was found that he had collected the phone numbers of various women but has since been restored. The McGill law student's association accused the university of "undermining the principle of rehabilitation." "“We are shocked by the reactive manner in which McGill University has responded to this issue,” the association’s executive wrote Saturday in an email obtained by The Gazette. “As law students, we are taught to recognize the injustices perpetuated by the criminal justice system and to understand the importance of rehabilitation and offenders’ rights,” the email said. “It is therefore especially disappointing when our university, presented with an opportunity to guide us through critical learning, fails.” With 120 student lawyers like this, Canada's justice system can look forward to becoming even more fucked than it is already is.
