I was at the parole hearing for Clifford Olson. For 25 years he was applying for parole. As you say, two years went by so quickly, and it was time again to go back. I remember saying to Sharon Rosenfeldt, “My God! Is it two years already? You're going to go through this hell all over again tomorrow.” It's so hard on victims; it's not fair.
Five years, I think, would be reasonable. As the gentleman here said, if they're turned down once, too bad. Don't ask again until you're fully rehabilitated.
