"If a three-time convicted 1st-degree murderer is rewarded for good behaviour' in the Canadian penal system and moved to a lower security prison, who then is filling the maximum security prisons? White collar criminals? the statement reads. Does our government really see them as the largest threat to society's safety? Such a move by our justice' system is an abhorrent transgression, offending all manner of common sense."
"Millard, a Toronto man, was convicted of first-degree murder in Bosma's death in 2016, alongside Smich, from Oakville, Ont. The pair was similarly convicted of first-degree murder in Babcock's death in 2017. Millard was also convicted of first-degree murder in the death of his father, Wayne, in 2018, as well as found guilty of assault causing bodily harm in connection with a stabbing in prison in 2023."
Dellen Millard was moved from a maximum-security prison to a medium-security facility in Ontario, following a similar transfer of co-conspirator Mark Smich in 2021. Families of victims Tim Bosma and Laura Babcock expressed disgust and demanded answers about why convicted multiple first-degree murderers were moved to lower security given the severity of their crimes and remaining sentence time. The moves have reopened wounds and disrupted family peace of mind, with relatives saying violent offenders should serve time in maximum security. Millard holds convictions for murders in 2016, 2017 and 2018 and a 2023 in-prison assault conviction.
