Seeing a feeble old man sentenced to the equivalent of a 6½-year prison term for manslaughter in the death of 16-year-old Pauline Brazeau a full lifetime ago probably didn't do much to assuage the grief relatives have lived through for nearly 50 years
Kevin Martin's article discusses how the concept of "closure" often rings hollow for victims' families, particularly in the case of Pauline Brazeau's brutal slaying. Brazeau's daughter, Tracy, questions the meaning of closure decades after her mother's death at the sentencing hearing of the man who killed her. The killer, Edwards, was sentenced to 10 years for another brutal crime nearly 14 years after killing Brazeau.
