Are you sure about Russell Williams? He was not labeled a dangerous offender after his conviction IIRC.

I think Smich will eventually he released. If Millard gets convicted in the current trial and for killing his Father then hopefully he gets the D.O. status.
No way Williams ever, ever, ever gets parole. He's dying in jail.

He's a sadistic sociopath serial killer. No sane prison system paroles guys like that.

After the Bosma trial, there were a bunch of "what the jury didn't hear" articles detailing more of these guys illegal activities. I'm sure we'll get more of the same after this trial, now that jury is sequestered. I don't expect them to be long reaching a verdict.
The jury didn't know about details of the previous Bosma trial including the fact that they were already convicted of burning a body before and Smitch told his ex-girlfriend that Bosma was the second body burned in the incinerator.

I see the jury did unanimously recommended a consecutive sentence of 25 years for Millard although it is not binding on the judge who ultimately makes the decision. Trial for the murder of Millard Sr. Is next.

Judge will hit them with 25 consecutive to ensure Millard never walks the street again.

What is required to have either of them declared a Dangerous Offender?
753 (1) On application made under this Part after an assessment report is filed under subsection 752.1(2), the court shall find the offender to be a dangerous offender if it is satisfied

(a) that the offence for which the offender has been convicted is a serious personal injury offence described in paragraph (a) of the definition of that expression in section 752 and the offender constitutes a threat to the life, safety or physical or mental well-being of other persons on the basis of evidence establishing

(i) a pattern of repetitive behaviour by the offender, of which the offence for which he or she has been convicted forms a part, showing a failure to restrain his or her behaviour and a likelihood of causing death or injury to other persons, or inflicting severe psychological damage on other persons, through failure in the future to restrain his or her behaviour,

(ii) a pattern of persistent aggressive behaviour by the offender, of which the offence for which he or she has been convicted forms a part, showing a substantial degree of indifference on the part of the offender respecting the reasonably foreseeable consequences to other persons of his or her behaviour, or

(iii) any behaviour by the offender, associated with the offence for which he or she has been convicted, that is of such a brutal nature as to compel the conclusion that the offender’s behaviour in the future is unlikely to be inhibited by normal standards of behavioural restraint; or

(b) that the offence for which the offender has been convicted is a serious personal injury offence described in paragraph (b) of the definition of that expression in section 752 and the offender, by his or her conduct in any sexual matter including that involved in the commission of the offence for which he or she has been convicted, has shown a failure to control his or her sexual impulses and a likelihood of causing injury, pain or other evil to other persons through failure in the future to control his or her sexual impulses.

Judge orders Dellen Millard, Mark Smich locked up for next 45 years at least

Dellen Millard and Mark Smich will remain in jail until at least 2063.

Convicted murderers Dellen Millard and Mark Smich will have to wait about 45 years before asking for parole, a judge ruled Monday.

Millard, 32, and Smich, 30, are already serving automatic life sentences with no parole eligibility for 25 years for the first-degree murder of Tim Bosma of Ancaster, Ont. Late last year, a Toronto jury convicted the pair of killing Laura Babcock, finding it was planned and deliberate and therefore first-degree murder, which carries an automatic life sentence.

Crown attorney Jill Cameron urged Superior Court Justice Michael Code earlier this month to make the 25-year parole inegibility period for Babcock’s murder consecutive to the inegibility period for Bosma’s murder. The federal government added the option of consecutive inegibility periods to the Criminal Code in 2011.

“These murders were two carefully planned out separate events over the course of almost a year, and in my submission the law demands that they be sentenced consecutively,” Cameron said.”Justice for Laura demands a separate penalty for her murder.”

Defence lawyers argued that consecutive periods of parole ineligibility would leave the convicted murderers no chance to apply for parole until their 70s, which would be unduly harsh.

On Monday while delivering his sentencing decision, Justice Code described Millard as “profoundly amoral and dangerous” and said that Smich was an “enthusiastic” participant in the murder of Babcock.

Smich will be eligible for parole on May 22, 2063, when he's 75.

Millard will be eligible for parole on May 10, 2063, when he's 77

Has the concept of consecutive sentences been taken to the Supreme Court?

I have no sympathy for these two twits. They could not even give a plausible explanation for buying the eliminator, which shows they did coldly planned this for a while. I would not like to see too much use of consecutive sentences, but I would prefer there be some sort of process like the dangerous offender act for sentences beyond 25 years as it is a big cost to society and makes the job of prison wardens more dangerous.

It's a well established rule that goes back to Victorian times or before. If you commit two offences unconnected factually and chronologically in any way, you do the time back to back.

Especially for Millard, as much as I would like to know that he will live a long, miserable life in prison... I would smile if I woke up one morning and read that he was beaten to death in the shower.

I believe I read that the "consecutive" rule is before the Supreme Court right now? Am I wrong?
