Target: Canadians
Background (Preamble):
Stephan Lee on November 7, 2004 gained access to a co-workers hotel room at the Delta Hotel in Kananaskis by tricking security and stabbed Steven Tavares 28 times, in the heart, spleen and liver...8 times in the chest, shoulders and arms and 11 times in the back. He was charged with first degree murder and fit to stand trial. He was found Not Criminally Responsible due to Mental Disorder and sent to Alberta Hospital December of 2005.
This patient has been given numerous privileges during his stay and as of May 2008 has been conditionally released. He now is living in the Edmonton Area and has a full time job. He is permitted to visit Calgary at his leisure and anywhere within in Canada for up to 10 days unsupervised.
All of this is without notification to the victim’s family and friends or the public.
In the Alberta Review Board’s disposition regarding this patients conditional release it says the following: “The Alberta Review Board is of the opinion that Stephan Lee is a significant threat to the safety of the public.”
Let it also be known that Lee does NOT have a criminal record because of the Not Criminally Responsible verdict.

Petition:
We, the concerned public, want changes in the Not Criminally Responsible rulings to ensure:
1. The amount of time spent in the hospital by the accused be reflective of the severity of the crime committed.
2. That the Review Board be accountable to victims and the public regarding the release of anyone posing a significant threat to public or victim safety.
