00:00I got to say I'm pretty surprised by
00:02some of the prisoners on this list that
00:04there's even talks of them being
00:05released but today we are getting into
00:08some of the scariest prisoners up for
00:10parole in 2024 and some of them have
00:13even been released so stay tuned for
00:16that all right let's get into it we're
00:18going to start things off with Edmund
00:19keer yes one of America's most notorious
00:23serial killers is eligible for parole
00:25this year this guy has been labeled a
00:28naturally Born Killer not only does he
00:31stand at 6'9 weighing in at 250 lb but
00:35he also has a very high IQ mix that with
00:37a troubled childhood and a propensity to
00:40violence and it's quite the dangerous
00:43concoction he took the lives of his
00:45grandparents when he was just 15 about
00:4710 years later he killed his mother
00:49between May 1972 to April 1973 he took
00:53the lives of eight women he would lure
00:55women into his car drive them out to
00:57secluded locations and then smother and
01:00suffocate them he'd then bring the
01:02bodies back to his home where he'd them
01:05keer ended up receiving eight
01:07consecutive life sentences for his
01:09crimes but again his next PE hearing is
01:11coming up this year now I mean it's very
01:14very unlikely that anything will come of
01:16it he's been denied Pearl at every other
01:18hearing pretty much immediately or has
01:21even chosen to wave his right to a
01:23hearing himself next up we have Robert
01:25pikon who recently became eligible for
01:28day parole and will be eligible for full
01:31parole in 2027 25 years after his
01:34original arrest date he hasn't had his
01:37hearing yet but the families of his
01:39victims have already come out saying
01:40that Robert pikon has no right to walk
01:43the earth after what he did and yeah you
01:46know what I cannot with the sentencing
01:48that this guy was given he received one
01:51life sentence one are you kidding he
01:53killed at least 26 women however he
01:56claims it was 49 and actually complained
01:59to an undercover officer that he never
02:01got his even 50 he said he was angry
02:04Furious and disappointed with himself
02:07that he never got the full 5 his words
02:10and now he's eligible for parole like
02:13what what happened to consecutive life
02:15sentences or life without parole it's
02:17honestly just insane why are they even
02:20talks about this if you don't know who
02:22Robert pikon is he's a British Columbia
02:24serial killer who was active from the 9s
02:26to the early 2000s he's often referred
02:28to as the pig farm killer because his Mo
02:31included violating his victims before
02:33taking their lives and running their
02:35bodies through a wood chipper on his
02:37farm before feeding their remains to his
02:40pigs I really don't understand how any
02:43judge in their right mind would or even
02:47could approve Parole in this case the
02:49crimes were just so gruesome and heinous
02:53if anything I feel like we should be
02:54adding time to his sentence not taking
02:57it away next on the list we have Paul
03:00now this name may not be super familiar
03:02to those outside of Canada but this guy
03:05is one of the creepiest most despicable
03:07criminals in Canadian history and his
03:10latest parole hearing just happened in
03:12February so where do I start with this
03:14guy he's a serial killer who would also
03:17his female victims and his former wife
03:19Carla Hoka would often assist in his
03:22crimes they earned the nickname the Ken
03:24and Barbie killers and one of their
03:26victims was Carla's very own sister um I
03:29remember when I first heard about the
03:30details of this casee in law class in
03:33high school I had this uncomfortable
03:36just weird feeling for the rest of the
03:38day possibly even a couple days after I
03:40had this feeling like man who can I
03:42trust can I can I ever really know
03:45someone it's incredibly disturbing how
03:47different these two's outward appearance
03:49and reputation was compared to the
03:50heinous things they were doing in secret
03:53until of course they were caught well
03:55Bernardo has had a number of parole
03:57hearings he insists that he's changed
03:59and that he's no longer a threat to the
04:01public but thankfully he's been denied
04:03every time but then again Carla got was
04:06she was set free in 2005 so honestly I
04:08wouldn't put it past them to let this
04:10guy go next up we have Mark David
04:12Chapman also known as the man who killed
04:15The Beatles but more specifically John
04:17Lennon peace activist and co- songwriter
04:19co-lead vocalist and Rhythm guitarist of
04:22The Beatles of course on the evening of
04:24December 8th of 1980 John Lennon was
04:26returning to his hotel when all of a
04:28sudden he heard some someone shout his
04:30name when lennin turned around Chapman
04:33pulled out a handheld weapon and fired
04:35four projectiles into Lenin two entered
04:38the left side of his back which traveled
04:40through the left side of his chest and
04:42his left lung one exited his body and
04:44the other became lodged in his neck the
04:46other two bullets hit Lenin in his left
04:48shoulder John made it to the hospital
04:50but he was pronounced dead soon after
04:52was a terrible day in history that
04:54brought the world together in grief and
04:56mourning John lennin was loved and
04:59people were devastated at the loss when
05:01Chapman was asked why he did it he said
05:04that he wanted the world to know his
05:05name but provided no other explanation
05:08while he is eligible for parole he has
05:11also been denied parole on 12 separate
05:13occasions so I doubt he'll get it next
05:16on the list we have Oscar Pistorius
05:18Oscar Pistorius known as the Blade
05:20Runner for his achievements in track and
05:22field despite having both legs amputated
05:25as a child competed in the 2012 Olympics
05:27in London but just 6 months later he
05:30took the life of his girlfriend Reva
05:32Steen camp on the early morning of
05:34February 14th 2013 borius killed his
05:37girlfriend revas Ste camp with a firearm
05:39firing at her through a locked bathroom
05:41door in his home in Petoria South Africa
05:44he claimed that he mistook her for an
05:45intruder and fired in self-defense but
05:48the prosecution argued that it was
05:50premeditated he ended up being convicted
05:52and with a maximum sentence of 15 years
05:55but he was just released in January his
05:57conditions being modering until his
05:59sentence expires and therapy sessions
06:03next we have Susan Smith who is
06:05Despicable after killing her two sons
06:07she was charged with life in prison with
06:10the possibility of parole after 30 years
06:13and guess what it's been 30 years on
06:15October 5th back in 1994 Smith had
06:18called police officers to report a
06:20carjacking not only that but Susan
06:22claimed that her two sons were in the
06:24car when it was stolen Smith went on
06:27television and pleaded for their safe
06:30but she was full of it Susan had killed
06:32her sons because she had secretly fallen
06:34in love with a man who didn't want
06:36children and she believ that doing so
06:38would solve her relationship problems
06:41when police discovered her car it was
06:42clear that it had been deliberately
06:44rolled into a lake with her sons inside
06:47Smith's lawyer tried to plead mental
06:50insanity but the argument didn't stick
06:53in response to the idea of Susan Smith
06:55being approved for parole one of her
06:56family members was quoted saying I don't
06:59think she's got a snowballs chance in
07:01hell good so luckily this guy's uh Pearl
07:05was just recently revoked but the story
07:07is pretty insane so in 2000 Kenneth
07:10McKay met a woman named Crystal pasman
07:13at a bar in Saskatoon he offered to give
07:15her a ride home that night but she never
07:18made it home instead McKay drove her to
07:20a secluded area her and took her life
07:24then he set her aains on fire behind his
07:27truck infuriatingly he was granted day
07:30parole in 2023 prison officials weren't
07:33happy about this warning that there was
07:35a high chance he'd reoffend and guess
07:37what happened he started stalking a
07:40female cooworker just 3 months after
07:42being released luckily he didn't get to
07:44carry out whatever plan he had before
07:46being arrested next up we have Jeremy
07:49Wade vovik who just 22 years ago
07:51committed a violent crime that ended the
07:53life of a woman in Maple Ridge British
07:55Columbia named Colleen Finley vovik came
07:58into contact with a woman while
08:00trespassing on her property he beat her
08:02bound her and then set her and her home
08:05on fire before fleeing the scene the
08:08court saw his actions as deliberate and
08:10methodical and despite the fact that
08:12vovik previously a date PE he received
08:15in 20122 and despite the fact that a
08:17psychiatric assessment expressed grave
08:20concern about the level of risk that he
08:23posed to the public he's been given a
08:2560-day on escorted absence from prison
08:28so that he may participate ate in a
08:30substance abuse treatment program at a
08:32residential Facility in Vancouver Island
08:34while he does have to return to the
08:35treatment facility nightly and is not
08:37allowed to consume or possess alcohol or
08:40elicit substances it is still absolutely
08:43crazy to me that he has been allowed to
08:45leave prison at all this next guy has to
08:49be one of the most despicable human
08:51beings alive today Lis gravito this
08:54Colombian killer was nicknamed Laisa or
08:57the Beast and the name really fits
09:00between 1992 to 1999 this guy took the
09:05193 young people very young mostly males
09:09and a lot of them lived on the street
09:11it's very likely there's a much higher
09:13death toll on this guy's hands
09:15authorities have said it may be closer
09:17to 300 it's just never been confirmed
09:19not only did this evil prick take the
09:22lives of his victims but he'd violate
09:24and torment them first he would often
09:26pose as a priest or a monk in order to
09:28gain his vict trust and lure them to
09:31their deaths police recovered a suitcase
09:34of his that contained journals detailing
09:36his crimes as well as tally marks of his
09:38victims it's incredibly sickening and
09:40the fact that there were even
09:41discussions of this guy receiving parole
09:43recently should be a crime he was
09:46originally sentenced to
09:481,853 years in prison but Columbia law
09:51changed a maximum prison sentences were
09:53reduced to 40 years because gravito
09:56assisted police in recovering the bodies
09:58of his victims his sentence was further
10:00reduced to 22 years he was eligible for
10:03parole just recently but thankfully was
10:06not released and to finish us off today
10:08we have a man who is not up for parole
10:11but actually received it back in 1973
10:14and this is a perfect example of why
10:16this list is so absolutely terrifying so
10:19in June of 1956 Richard Marquette was
10:23arrested for killing and dismembering
10:25Joan Ray coddle he then scattered her
10:27body parts around the city of Oregon to
10:29be discovered by police he was given a
10:31life sentence for his crimes but
10:33received full parole after just 12 years
10:3612 years the police and the courts had
10:38found him to be polite and
10:39non-argumentative and so even though he
10:42had taken the life of someone in a
10:44horrific fashion Marquette was allowed
10:46to walk in 1973 after spending just 12
10:50years in prison just 27 months later in
10:521975 Marquette killed and dismembered
10:5535-year-old Betty Lucille Wilson before
10:58dismembering her body and dumping her
11:00remains in a marsh when he was arrested
11:02he admitted that he had in fact killed
11:04two women since his release and led
11:06police to remains of the second victim
11:09he's now serving his second life
11:10sentence in the Salem State Penitentiary
11:12and he is no longer eligible for parole
11:16and with all of that said I've been your
11:18host James and I'll catch you yes you
11:20specifically in the next
