Convicted killer daddy gets special privileges--despite still being "significant threat" to ex-wife (Vancouver, Canada)

Why the hell is killer daddy ALLAN DWAYNE SCHOENBORN getting special privileges? This bastard "visited" the home of his ex-wife (when she was not there) and brutally murdered all three of their children--sure looks like to me like a typical abuse/control "revenge" killing against his wife to me. In fact, this POS had made threats before, but as is usual with our daddy-coddling legal system, he got released on bail. The real scary part: The shrinks find that Daddy is still "obsessed by or fixated on" his ex-wife, which is classic for a "revenge" killer.

But no, the defense played the mental illness card successfully at trial, so Daddy got sent to a psychiatric hospital instead of prison. And now he's got "restricted" access to the community, though it is believed he still represents a "significant threat" to his wife.

Another example of how daddy's rights are deemed more important than anybody else's--even the basic rights of mothers and children to life and security.

Child killer Schoenborn granted chance at escorted access to community
By NEAL HALL, VANCOUVER SUN April 6, 2011

METRO VANCOUVER - A father who killed his three children in 2008 has been granted restricted, escorted access to the community, the B.C. Review Board concluded in a decision released today.

The decision comes a year after Allan Dwayne Schoenborn, now 42, was found by a judge not criminally responsible for killing his three children in Merritt.

At a hearing Tuesday, Schoenborn requested through his lawyer that he be allowed to occasionally go to Starbucks for a coffee or to go swimming with a group of patients from the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Port Coquitlam, where he resides in custody after being found not criminally responsible for the murder of his children because of a mental disorder.

But it doesn't mean Schoenborn will be granted access to the community immediately.

That decision now rests with the director of the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital, who must assess Schoenborn's mental state and decide if he is ready for short escorted absences from the hospital.

"What we've approved is the director's request for discretion to consider escorted leave," B.C. Review Board chair Bernd Walter said today.

The B.C. Review Board, in its annual review of Schoenborn to assess his threat to the community, decided to grant Schoenborn's application under strict conditions:

- That he should have escorted access to the community at the discretion of the director of the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital, having regard to his mental condition and the risk he poses to himself or others;

- That he not acquire, possess or use any firearm, explosive or offensive weapon;

- That he abstain from using alcohol or any drugs except as approved by a medical practitioner;

- That the director may monitor the accused's compliance by using urinalysis testing on demand;

- That Schoenborn have no contact with his former wife, Darcie Clarke.

In 2008, while visiting the home of his estranged wife while she was out, Schoenborn stabbed to death his daughter Kaitlynne, 10, and smothered his sons Max, 8, and Cordon, 5.
The mother came home to find the children dead and cryptic messages written on the wall in what appeared to be blood (but later found to be soy sauce).

The killer then hid out in the hills around Merritt for days until he was found by a trapper and arrested.

Schoenborn was charged with three counts of first-degree murder. The Crown theory at trial was that he killed his children as revenge against his ex-wife.

Days before the murders, Schoenborn appeared at his children's school in a disheveled state and uttered threats. He was arrested but released on bail.

After a lengthy trial, the judge found Schoenborn not criminally responsible on account of a mental disorder (NCRMD), which used to be called an insanity verdict.

A forensic psychiatrist testified that Schoenborn was delusional and possibly schizophrenic.

Since the verdict, Schoenborn has been in secure custody at the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital, which houses people who are not mentally fit to stand trial and those found not criminally responsible for their crimes.

On April 6, 2010, the review board found that while Schoenborn had improved, he was still suffering from delusional thoughts, he had had a striking sense of entitlement and a "profound lack of insight into his illness."

The board also found that Schoenborn is "obsessed by or fixated on" his ex-wife, so he still posed a "significant threat."

Tuesday's disposition, signed by review board chair Bernd Walter, will be reviewed in 12 months.
