Killer Mark Smich’s move to medium-security prison outrages victim’s families
man are demanding answers from the federal government after the multiple murderer was moved to a medium-security prison.While Smich was moved two years ago, the families say they are speaking out now after recent national outrage over a similar transfer of serial killer Paul Bernardo.
“Does anyone really think that someone who has killed several people and never expressed any remorse is going to be a new person after their sentence?” Linda Babcock, the mother of one of Smich’s victims, told The Canadian Press. Last week, Ontario’s highest court dismissed the killers’ appeals on both murders. They are currently serving two life sentences each.
While the fact Smich is in medium security has weighed on the Babcocks and Bosmas for a while, the families say the national furor over Bernardo’s transfer prompted them to speak out.
