In 2008, Allan Schoenborn killed his three children, a crime for which he was judged to be NCR or Not Criminally Responsible because of mental health issues. Since then Schoenborn has been held at the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Coquitlam, B.C. The hearing was attempted in April of this year but proceedings devolved into chaos. The hearing will resume this coming week and what should we expect?

AND:

Not Criminally Responsible. A get out of jail free card for some of the most violent and dangerous criminals? Or truly a ruling which assesses a killer's ability to discern right from wrong?

Guests: Dave Texeira. Family friend and representative for the three dead children Kaitlyn, Max and Corden.

Scott Newark. Former Alberta crown attorney, former senior advisor to a federal minister for public safety, executive director of the Canadian Police Association and executive director for the Ontario Office for Victims of Crime.
