A number of victims of violent crime rallied in Ottawa today, marking the 10th anniversary of Tori Stafford's disappearance in southwestern Ontario and calling for changes to Canada's justice and corrections systems.
A couple of dozen people stood in a wind-blown freezing-rain storm at the foot of the Peace Tower, demanding more rights for victims and their families.
McClintic was later sent back to a maximum-security prison while Rafferty is still serving his sentence in medium security. "This fight now is not just my fight. This is a national fight," Stafford told the small crowd gathered on Parliament Hill as they were pelted with frozen raindrops. "This really could affect any one of us at any point in time."
"There's so many of us out here right now that are all going through the exact same thing together," he said. "Hopefully we can fight together and we can make the changes needed within our system so that potentially other victims do not have to go through this down the road.
