Child-killer Clifford Olson’s case has pushed Canadian lawmakers to rethink and re-devise a few laws. Legal authorities say Olson has basically encouraged the law body to make some modifications in the law that can eradicate the likelihood of early parole for murderers and discontinue old-age benefits for those in prisons.
Olson, one of Canada’s most ill-famed and loathed criminals, has been shifted from jail to a Montreal hospital. He has been suffering from cancer and might die soon. He is a slayer of two children and nine teenagers in the early 1980s.
According to criminologist Neil Boyd; “Even within the realm of first-degree murderers, his crimes were particularly unusual and horrific.”
Olson, also known as the Beast of B.C., killed Sharon Rosenfeldt’s 16-year-old son. She says, “I had all kinds of horrible thoughts. I wanted to join my son. I was so scared that if I had hatred in my heart towards (Olson), which I had, that it would destroy me. And it was starting to destroy me.”
But when Sharon found out that Olson raped, tortured and killed another youth, Daryn, she decided to be strong. Along with her late husband Gary, she ran victims’ rights movement and spent years pushing the federal government for legislative changes to acknowledge victims of crime.
Only due to Rosenfeldt and other compatible activists, Canada today has victim impact statements prior to sentencing and victim fine surcharges. There is no more loathed faint-hope clause, which allowed murderers given life sentences to submit a plea for parole after 15 years.
