James Forcillo, ex-officer who shot and killed teen on streetcar, granted full parole
James Forcillo, the former Toronto police officer who shot teenager Sammy Yatim to death on a TTC streetcar in 2013, has been granted full parole. Forcillo was convicted of attempted murder in 2016, and began serving months of prison time in November 2017 following a lengthy appeal process. His sentence was supposed to last six years, five months and 29 days, according to the Parole Board of Canada document outlining his parole. The parole board says there's a "low risk" Forcillo will commit another crime. "It is the Board's opinion that you will not present an undue risk to society if released and that your release will contribute to the protection of society by facilitating your reintegration into society as a law-abiding citizen," the document said. The former constable has, however, been barred from having any contact with Yatim's family.
