Thank you for that question.
I think something that's significant about that incident is that we still don't know a lot about it. We don't know, for example, if coercive control was an element of the intimate partner violence that was experienced by the woman who was killed in that case. Unfortunately, I think that this example actually supports the submission that my colleagues and I make, which is that the current criminal legal system is not working as intended. Even in cases where there are clear incidents of physical intimate partner violence, the system is not protecting women.
Our concern is that more training, more responses for the actors in the criminal legal system, are needed. That may include reforms to bail, but that alone will not be sufficient.
