Yes, that's a very safe assumption; it definitely does not help with closure. All that happens when you attend a hearing is that you just wait for the next hearing. So you prepare yourself because you know you're going to be going back again.
I've always said that since we didn't have capital punishment in this country for the man who murdered my son, we have a life sentence with parole eligibility at 25 years instead. So all I really expect as a mother and a Canadian who believes in our laws is that this be true, that he does serve 25 years. But right now he has the right to apply every two years for another two years. I don't like that either; I think that's wrong. But that's a whole different situation from what we're talking about here. In fact we're addressing that as well, even though it's a different issue.
