Convicted teen killer and serial rapist Paul Bernardo is set for his second parole hearing this month, the Parole Board of Canada announced on Wednesday, dredging up heart-breaking memories for his victims' relatives yet again. Now 56, he became eligible for parole more than three years ago but was denied release at a hearing in October 2018. Parole process 'tears the families apart,' lawyer saysThat Bernardo can apply for release again so soon is something the families have been fighting to see changed. "No sooner does the ink dry in preparing the previous victim-impact statement for Bernardo's first parole hearing, she's now called upon to do a second one," Danson said she told the board. Both the French and Mahaffy families argue the designated dangerous offender should never be released.
