Roger Bilodeau, 58, is on trial for the second-degree murders of Jake Sansom and Maurice Cardinal.
The board instead extended Roger Bilodeau’s day parole for three months and ordered a panel hearing to again review his eligibility for full-day parole.The board concluded a panel hearing is needed to better assess the risks of granting Bilodeau full parole. An Alberta farmer convicted of manslaughter in the deaths of Métis hunters Jacob Sansom and Maurice Cardinal in 2020 has been granted extended day parole.
Anthony Bilodeau was convicted of second-degree murder and is currently serving a life sentence for the killings. As the elder Bilodeau pursued the hunters through a remote area near Glendon, Alta., he called his son and told him to bring a gun.Soon after arriving at the scene where the other two vehicles had stopped, Anthony Bilodeau shot and killed Sansom and Cardinal.
Most federal offenders are eligible to apply for full parole after serving one-third of their sentence. Day parole releases are meant to prepare offenders for release into the community. The board found that he continues to pursue rehabilitation through counselling and prayer and has maintained a "low profile."
