The Medicine Hat teen convicted of killing her parents and eight-year-old brother in 2006 is returning to court Monday morning.
It’s part of a twice-yearly review of her rehabilitation.
The young woman, who can’t be identified because of her age at the time of the murders, is serving a maximum youth sentence of 10 years.
She’s entering the final stretch of a four-phase program of stabilization, intensive therapy, transition and reintegration.
In her last update in March, The Calgary Herald reports she was given a glowing review from Justice Scott Brooker.
He said “she showed a low probability of committing further acts of violence.”
She’s now a university student and is being allowed to hold down a part-time job.
What remains unclear is whether or not she accepts any responsibility in the deaths of her family.
Her then-boyfriend, 23-year-old Jeremy Steinke, admitted to stabbing the girl’s parents; neither has confessed to killing her eight-year-old brother.
The pair were arrested a day later in Leader, Saskatchewan.
Steinke, who now goes by the name Jackson May, abandoned his recent push for an appeal and is serving a life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years in an Edmonton facility.
