The new tonight is that notorious murderer Paul Bernardo was lawfully transferred to a medium security prison and shall remain there.
And that’s the way it should be.
No, I am not a friend of Bernardo. He deserves to remain behind bars for the rest of his life and then some.
But he also deserves to be treated exactly like any other criminal in Canada’s justice system. We don’t do mob justice in this country.
Keeping him in a maximum security establishment just to satisfy the public’s demands, just to further the political interests of those in charge would be an appalling thing to do, and I am very glad that Canada has not chosen this path.
