TL:DR

Okay, so this is wild. This lady, Barbara Taylor, who offed a cop back in the day, is out on parole AND battling cancer. Now they're talking about the big D - death sentence. Like, what is going on?! Also, peep Benjamin Ritchie who's also up for death sentence for killing a cop back in 2000. He is straight up asking for them to spare him, bruh.

The Tea is Piping Hot 🔥

Aight, so listen up, fam. This is a whole rollercoaster of sus. Barbara Taylor, she got convicted in '99 for icing Toronto Police Det.-Const. Bill Hancox back in '98. Straight up serving a life sentence. But here's the tea - she's been out on day parole. Day. Parole.

And it gets even crazier. Turns out she's got some aggressive cancer, which the Parole Board of Canada was thinking about when they were all like, "Yeah, let's extend her parole." Some wild card, right?

Now, rewind to the crime. Barbara and her partner-in-crime, Elaine Rose Cece (now Smith), were the ones who took out Det.-Const. Hancox. The deets are kinda dark, with Barbara allegedly hyping Elaine to shank the undercover officer.

She was first granted day parole in May 2022, but it got suspended soon after. The files show she has a whole rap sheet dating back to '86, with over 70 convictions, a lot of them tied to prostitution. The Board is saying they gave more weight to her being a part of the Indigenous Self Management Program, and that she has cancer. A psychologist is saying her risk of re-offending is low, and she would likely re-offend if she goes back to using substances.

Fast forward to Indiana. Benjamin Ritchie is on death row for killing a cop back in 2000. He straight up told them "I am so sorry" during his clemency hearing. Like, dude is begging for them to spare his life when his execution is scheduled for May 20, 2025.

His lawyers are saying the guy has brain damage because his mom was drinking while she was pregnant. It's like, can this get any worse?!

Her parole conditions include staying clean, steering clear of "criminally-minded individuals" (whatever that means), avoiding the victim's fam, and staying out of the GTA (Greater Toronto Area). A psychologist said she is "globally low-moderate."

So, to recap: Cop killer out on parole with cancer possibly facing a death sentence, while another cop killer begs to be spared from the executioner? The world is wild, fam.
