Court denies Millard appeal in father's murder, but stacked parole struck down | CBC News

The Ontario Court of Appeal affirmed Dellen Millard's life sentence for the first-degree murder of Wayne Millard Friday, but says the order to stack his parole ineligibility period on top of his previous two murder sentences could not stand.

Millard, who was self-represented and appeared by video from prison, did not appear to react as the court returned its decision just minutes after he wrapped up his appeal arguments Friday. Millard asked the court Friday before it adjourned to clarify the exact date he could apply for parole, but the court declined to comment since it's still deciding the other appeals.Millard was sentenced in 2018 for his father's murder with no chance of parole for 75 years after the trial judge stacked the 25-year period of parole ineligibility with his previous sentences for the Bosma and Babcock murders.

The ruling said consecutive parole ineligibility periods shook the foundation of criminal law and were incompatible with human dignity. But the decision was criticized by victims' families who felt it denied individual justice to each person killed by a multiple murderer. Millard purchased the gun that killed his father, was at the house the night of the murder, and had set up a false alibi to conceal what he had done, the judge found.A jury in June 2016 first found Millard and Smich guilty of murdering Bosma, a 32-year-old man whose body was burned in an incinerator after he took the two men out for a test drive of his pickup truck in May 2013.

Weak justice system, 75 years is 75 years not 25.

I hope he rots.

I completely resent his parole eligibility was reduced. 😡Take average age of males death, minus 10 years and use that number for eligibility. Then he has hope for release without being a threat to public.

So it's ultimately meaningless because his sentence stays the same lol
