Day parole within 2.5 years
Terri Callaway had just finished tucking in her four kids and was out for her nightly jog in 2006 when she was struck and killed by Junkert, who was doing 90 km/h in a 50 zone with a blood alcohol content twice the legal limit. Although Junkert’s five-year sentence was deemed “a little harsh” by his defence lawyer, he had day parole within 2.5 years and full parole within three. He will be free to drive again next year.
“I understand you are prepared to give my wife’s killer full parole without a hearing,” wrote Callaway’s widower in a 2012 victim impact statement to the Parole Board of Canada. “Yet again I feel as if I am pushing water uphill by addressing you … you never cease to amaze me.”
