10 Questions for Carolyn Gardner
On July 2, 1981 Ralph Power beat Sheryl Gardner to death with a hammer in her Toronto apartment. Power was out of jail for "good behavior" after serving 8 years of a 10 year sentence. Now back in Prison, Sheryl's sister, Carolyn has spent much of the ensuing years taking on Canada's faulty parole system to ensure Power will never be released again. Carolyn lobbies for a tougher justice system including stricter parole requirements and the broadening of provisions under Bill C- 13, Canada's DNA databank laws.
