In a letter sent to the head of the Parole Board of Canada (PBC), lawyer Tim Danson argues his clients have a right to confront their daughters' killer in person. He stated, 'It was truly a shock to their system. It was bone chilling - an insult so deep and hurtful that, (figuratively speaking), it set victims' rights back to the stone age.' This highlights the anguish felt by the victims' families and the perceived injustices of the legal system.
Danson expressed that the families felt that denying them attendance at the hearing was gut-wrenching, stating, 'It was nothing short of gut-wrenching to experience the painful and heartbreaking reaction of Debbie Mahaffy and Donna French when they learned that the PBC was prohibiting them from representing their daughters...and denying them the right to confront Paul Bernardo, in person.' This encapsulates the emotional toll of the decision on the victims' families.
