Colin Thatcher gets parole
Ex-Saskatchewan cabinet minister Colin Thatcher, convicted of murdering his wife JoAnn Wilson in 1984, was granted full parole today. Thatcher was serving a life sentence. Criminologist Neil Boyd, author of The Beast Within: Why Men are Violent, is available to comment on the decision which, he says, "is surprising given Thatcher's complete lack of remorse for the crime."
