| | In Canada, and in most of the civilised world, we have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty before that person is incarcerated and put in jail. Innocent until proven guilty. I have no problem with that. What I DO have a problem with, are the ex-convicts that have perpetrated seriously heinous crimes that are walking amongst us simply because they have "done their time". They walk amongst us despite being unrehabilitated pedophiles or unremorseful murderers. They walk amongst us because the parole board deemed them a "reasonable risk".
I believe in second chances. I believe in rehabilitation. And I believe that people should have the opportunity regardless of what they have done to redeem themselves. That being said, I don't believe that murderers, rapists, and pedophiles should be set free simply they are considered a "reasonable risk"! We already proved beyond a reasonable doubt that they were dangerous and a menace to society. We already proved that they were guilty of heinous psychopathic and sociopathic crimes. I think those guilty of perpetrating such dire crimes need to make the same effort to get out as we did to get them in. I think those that we have proved beyond a reasonable doubt that they were indeed murders, rapists, and pedophiles need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they are not JUST a reasonable risk; but that they are no longer a threat to society.
