I agree with my friend, Mr. Lemay, that an individual like Clifford Olson would never receive parole, and thankfully this week he did not. For his edification, and perhaps you may wish to comment, the reason victims of Olson and other multiple murderers are victimized is that the very thought of the hearing and their ability to participate in the hearing, if they so choose, is revictimization. And they will tell you that. We had Sharon Rosenfeldt here on another bill, the faint hope bill. She is the mother of one of Olson's victims. She will tell you eloquently and passionately that every time she reads Olson's name in the paper, she is victimized. At least it's her perception that she's victimized.
What do you say to the people who have been advocating for this type of legislation with respect to their concerns that the perpetrators of the murders against their loved ones are in fact receiving sentence discounts?
