That's right. That's one woman who was one of the ones—let's put it this way—recommended by Madam Justice Ratushny for review in the self-defence review. You can understand that the context was very different from most cases, and it was one where there was an argument that she probably should have never been convicted in the first place.
There was tremendous support, and hers was the fastest I've ever seen any case go through. The average is usually at least three years between when they're eligible and when they get out, if we're working on it doggedly to get it through all the process. It usually takes a period of time to get it before the chief justice, and then if the chief justice approves it, once we get the decision, then to prepare to go before the jury and then the hearing, and depending on the dates and how long that takes. Once that decision comes down, the next step is to apply with the parole board. Usually Corrections wants at least six months to prepare paperwork.
In that woman's case, we convinced—she was at the Okimaw Ohci Healing Lodge—the staff to work on her paperwork and have it ready to be filed the minute we had a decision. Had every step not been ready to go at the next moment.... That's the absolute fastest. I can't see anybody ever being able to get through the process that quickly again.
