In their decision denying parole, the two-person parole board noted McCotter remains a high risk for violence towards an intimate partner, continues to deflect responsibility, and has exhibited “paranoid behaviour.”
“There have been no improvements in your risk ratings since the start of your sentence,” the board decision informed McCotter. “Given the length of time served and your participation in [prison anti-violence] programs, your lack of progress is a notable for the absence of positive change.’ While McCotter has taken part in “voluntary and faith-based programs,” he has made “minimal gains,” the board ruling stated.“They expressed that your offending has ruined their lives and they continue to have concerns about your lack of remorse and risk to public safety,” the decision said. “There was a victim statement read at the start of the hearing in which they raised again raised concerns about your lack of progress. Serious harm occurred.
“It is the Board’s opinion that you will present an undue risk to society if released on day parole or full parole and that your release will not contribute to the protection of society by facilitating your reintegration into society as a law-abiding citizen,” the decision concluded. “Accordingly, the Board denies day and full parole.”
