I understand that very well.
In Quebec, there were two tragedies in the same year. In both cases, they were family tragedies. In the first case, in an incomprehensible moment of despair, a surgeon killed his two children because his wife had left him. The second case is that of a family that was living in poverty and that had tried everything to get out of it. Ultimately, the parents decided that the entire family was going to die. So they prepared a cocktail of drugs that all family members took. The father and the two children died, but the woman survived and was thus charged with the three murders.
In the circumstances of multiple murders, are parole eligibility periods consecutive? When I read the wording, I still get the impression it concerns the trial of someone who has previously been convicted of murder and who is then convicted after another trial for another murder.
