Overview

  • On July 17, the Parole Board of Canada granted Lopez statutory release under the Corrections and Conditional Release Act.
  • Lopez, now 65, was sentenced in 2019 to nine years for manslaughter after months of physical abuse led to his five-year-old grandson’s fatal brain injury.
  • His applications for day parole and full parole were denied in 2022, but statutory release is mandatory once two-thirds of a determinate sentence is served.
  • Conditions of release include strict community supervision and an absolute ban on contact with children to address public safety concerns.
  • The case underscores the tension between offenders’ release rights and protective measures for vulnerable groups under Canadian corrections policy.
