Rob Dhanu, former Crown Criminal Prosecutor and one of the founder’s of the prominent BC firm, Dhanu Dhaliwal Law Group, was recently featured on Global News BC. He was asked about the recent news of the possibility of day parole eligibility for the heinous serial-rapist, serial-killer criminal, Robert Pickton.
Here’s background on who Robert Pickton is from Wikipedia:
Robert William Pickton (born October 24, 1949),[2] also known as the Pig Farmer Killer or the Butcher, is a Canadian serial killer, serial rapist, former pig farmer and possible cannibal who is suspected of being one of the most prolific serial killers in Canadian history. After dropping out of school, Pickton left a butcher’s apprenticeship to begin working full-time at his family’s pig farm. He is believed to have begun his murders in the early 1990s after inheriting the farm. Arrested in 2002, he was convicted in 2007 of the second-degree murders of six women and was also the subject of a lengthy investigation that yielded evidence of numerous other murders.
Quote from Rob Dhanu on Robert Pickton parole for Global News:
“I understand the outrage because parole is one of the most misunderstood, even maligned aspects of the Canadian Criminal Justice system and especially with the case of Mr. Pickton, it makes very little sense that we would re-traumatize the family’s of the victims for an individual who has almost zero chance of actually obtaining parole.”
