Again, the fundamental flaw in the current system right now is the lack of transparency, especially for the victims going through this process. There is so little disclosure to the victim, whether or not the new board.... It's our information that the....
Every time we went through this process with Munro, we didn't even know what information was being shared. But it was our information that the boards were not aware of any of the other boards' findings. What made it worse for us was that the family, Karen and her family, was feeling that Munro or somebody else could tailor their statements—what didn't I get right with the first board?—for the next board because we had brought in a completely new panel. That's where we get into the lack of transparency. At least if we had the transcripts we could ensure.... Again, we've asked for the transcripts.
We've asked for that transparency not only in his testimony but also with regard to what was happening while he was incarcerated. For instance, one of Munro's triggers was alcohol and drugs. When we asked if he had been involved in any drugs or alcohol while he was incarcerated, we were not allowed to get any of that information. He's trying to get access to be allowed in public again, and here was one of the triggers he had. We found out subsequently that he failed the drug test. How does that help the victims? How does that help protect society? It befuddles me.
