My experience with murderers is they come in three types.
First are anger/impulse killers. Not great folks but they are often remorseful and can learn anger management. They can rehabilitate.
Second are commercial killers -- gang members and actual contract killers. They are, sometimes, like soldiers and in a changed environment are changed people. (This does not mean soldiers are murders -- rather, these killers are situation specific in their wrongful acts just as soldiers are situation specific and kill in combat but not in the mess tent.)
But third, killers for 'fun' who plan the killings -- they cannot change. Or at least, I have not seen them do so.

I read your blog but don't comment.
Just to let you know I appreciate your blog.
What's the % of each category?
Funny blogpost.
Seems to me the government "hides" the stats so I can only assume your "bleeding heart" is acting up again.
And another thing. If you were on the National Parole Board and chose to release a convicted killer, does that not make you complicit in the crime, seeing how you released him to kill again.
Read the following to see just how ridiculous and out of touch your blogpost is.
The National Parole Board has been criticized for its perceived lack of judgment in the handling of certain cases. Notable examples include:
Conrad Brossard was serving two life sentences for a murder as well as two attempted murders, each of which was committed after being granted day parole. In 2002, the parole board granted Brossard day parole again, during which he raped and murdered Cecile Clement. An internal review of the Brossard case prepared by the National Parole Board and the Correctional Service of Canada stated that "the board does not have any criticism to make with respect to the general management of Brossard's correctional plan." Pierre Etoile, Clement's son-in-law, criticized the parole board, stating that "They tell us in this report that everything is wonderful, no one did anything wrong. Except my family is still grieving." Marc LaPierre, one of Brossard's previous victims, also criticized the parole board, [1]
Larry Takahashi received three concurrent life-sentences in 1984 for sexually assaulting seven women (he was subsequently dubbed the Balaclava Rapist). In 1997, he admitted to attacking over 30 women and is suspected by police in 120 attacks. In 2003, Larry Takahashi was granted parole despite his own admission that he was at risk to reoffend. Randy White, an MP from the then Canadian Alliance, strongly criticized the parole board for releasing Takahashi, stating that "Is there something I don’t understand about protection of the public?" It was also noted that Takahashi's victims will not be told where he will live during his parole because of federal privacy laws.[1] In 2005, it was reported that Takahashi had repeatedly violated his parole by drinking, lying to his parole officer, socializing with other sex offenders.[2] His parole was subsequently revoked.[3]
Eric Norman Fish was released to a half-way house in 2004 in Vernon, British Columbia. Fish had been serving a life sentence for a 1984 murder and had been deemed by the Parole Board to be a "high-risk to violently re-offend." Fish walked away from the half-way house and over a period of six weeks, murdered two people. Public outrage over this case resulted in the closing down of the half-way house to which Fish had been assigned. [2]
Allan Craig MacDonald was paroled in 1989 after serving only 12 years for murdering a police officer and a taxi driver. Shortly after his release, MacDonald beat, raped, stabbed, and murdered Linda Shaw and set her body on fire. (Although MacDonald was not convicted for this crime (he committed suicide in 1994), his guilt was confirmed by a DNA test in 2004).[3][4]
Robert Bruce Moyes was granted day parole in 1995, even though he was serving a life sentence for multiple armed robberies and had a total of 36 criminal convictions, including three attempted murders and three escapes from prison. Moyes also had numerous previous parole violations. Within a year of being paroled, Moyes and an accomplice murdered seven people [5][6] A subsequent investigation by the Parole Board concluded that there was a "sound basis" for his conditional release from prison and that "it is unnecessary to offer any specific direction on change or amendment to policies, practices or procedures." However, the investigation did not examine how Moyes was able to fool the parole board into releasing him despite his numerous criminal convictions. When testifying in court, Moyes "happily admitted that he lied repeatedly to parole and corrections officials for the past 30 years." Moyes will be eligible for parole again in 2027 when he is 72.[7]
John Lyman Kehoe was paroled in 1986. He had been sentenced to life in prison for murdering his two children in 1972. In 1996, Kehoe and another paroled multiple murder, attacked real estate agent Wendy Carroll. Carroll was choked and had her throat slit, although she did survive. Kehoe was subsequently deemed a Dangerous Offender and is unlikely to ever be released from prison again.[8][9]
Leopold Dion was paroled in 1963, despite being sentenced to life in prison for rape and attempted murder and previously violating parole by sexually assaulting a young boy. Within 18 months of being released, Dion molested 21 children and murdered four of them. Dion was subsequently killed in prison.[10]
Michael Hector received full parole after only serving half of a 13-year sentence, even though he had an extensive criminal history, had previously violated parole and had been described in psychological assessments as "a highly criminalized man." In early 1997, approximately 18 months after his release, Hector murdered three people, including a young boy.[11]
Kevin Humphrey was granted paroled despite being sentenced to life for robbing and murdering a man in 1983 before fleeing the country. Despite three previous parole violations, Humphrey was paroled again in 2006. In October of that year, Humphrey stabbed Richard Kent multiple times with a folding knife and then slit his throat in a crack house. Although Kent survived, he still has brain injury symptoms and memory problems.[12]
Denis Lortie was granted full parole in 1996 after serving only 12 years in prison for murdering three people and injuring 13 others. The decision went against the wishes of the victims relatives (although as of 2008, Lortie has not reoffended).[13][14]
Chad Bucknell was granted day parole in 2002, only 6 years after he received a life sentence for murdering four people. Bucknell subsequently disappeared until he was recaptured in 2004. Bucknell was granted parole again in 2006 and had so far not been arrested again.[15]
Daniel Jonathan Courchene, a known gang member, was kept on parole even though the Board knew that Courchene was repeatedly violating his parole by using intoxicants. While on parole, Courchene and an accomplice attempted to kill a police officer by shooting him in the face, stole several vehicles, and committed a home invasion in which they attempted to kill the owner.[16] [17]
Morton, if the parole board cared about the public and not its left wing agenda, every single person who was killed in the above notes would still be alive.
It's a public disgrace and a real injustice to the country and to victims of crime.
I suspect that my comment was a bit out of context -- I was suggesting that the sentence of MT, the young person convicted in Rengel, would likely be too short.
I expect the youth in this case will have been examined by various psychologists and psychiatrists. If she falls into the latter category you mention, she will probably receive an adult sentence.
If not, then she would probably have a good chance at a youth sentence.
I realize we all want to condemn her based on what we think she is, but there are professionals who are qualified to assess her, and her potential for rehabilitation, and their evidence should be given consideration by the court.
If she is a psychopath or a sociopath, she will be locked up for a very long time. None of us are qualified to make that diagnosis though, so I suggest we all just wait and see.
Excellent pieces. Keep writing such kind of information on your blog.
Im really impressed by your blog.

Where are the real life Dexter's out there. I would love to hear of one doing God's work of taking out unrepentant killersoff the streets for good. Our Canadian legal system has failed us. Recently the Federal Trudeau Liberals got rid of consecutive life sentences for such killers calling them UNCONSTITUTIONAL yet what these killers do is unconstitutional against innocent victims. I was myself in the Penitentiary system for Arson convictions and my last conviction was because I set an occupied hotel in Saskatoon on fire because it was reputedly known for housing convicted sex offenders who finished up their sentences at warrant expiry. Going back to prison was not a hardship. I was somewhat of a hero especially attending Correctional Centre and back in the Penitentiary. Not just at PA but my case was across Canada in 2001. I was designated a Long Term Offender as opposed to a Dangerous Offender and my total sentence was 8 years 10 months for the deal.
