Parole Board Criticized After Sentencing Lyle Angevine
Vancouver judge Bewley sentences Lyle Angevine to a year for revolver possession while noting the National Parole Board ranks 57th in a list of 62 bungling cases. The board has cut paroles by about one third, with 2,928 granted to September versus 3,901 last year. Revocations and forfeitures hover around 1,088 this year, 1,115 last year. A three man inquiry, led by Judge Hugesson, will report soon, but the solicitor-general plans not to publish findings. The electorate’s message to Mr. Goyer remains unclear.
