A Life Sentence, But Not Always Justice The news of Guy Turcotte's request for temporary release from prison has brought back memories of one of the most heinous crimes in Quebec's recent history.
In 2009, Turcotte brutally stabbed his two young children to death, sparking widespread outrage and calls for justice. Many are left wondering what this means for victims' families.
Turcotte was initially acquitted on grounds of diminished capacity, but his subsequent conviction and sentencing did little to ease the pain of those affected.
