Dad Furious, Pm Rapped Over Transfer Of Girl's Killer To Healing Lodge

  • Dad Furious, Pm Rapped Over Transfer Of Girl's Killer To Healing Lodge
TORONTO — Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale has asked correctional officials to review the transfer of a woman convicted of killing an eight-year-old girl from prison to a healing lodge.
 
 
Terri-Lynne McClintic was convicted of first-degree murder in the 2009 rape and killing of Tori Stafford and given life without parole for 25 years in 2010.
 
 
She was transferred to the Okimaw Ohci Healing Lodge run by Correctional Service Canada in December.
 
 
Stafford's father is outraged, saying McClintic is getting to live better than many Canadians.
 
 
In the House of Commons, the Conservatives called the decision "despicable" and called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to reverse the transfer.
 
 
Trudeau accused Opposition Leader Andrew Scheer of playing politics with a tragic situation, noting McClintic was classified as a medium security inmate in 2014 and that hasn't changed.
