Robert Latimer, who was convicted of second-degree murder for killing his severely disabled daughter, has been granted full parole and will be home for Christmas.

His lawyer Jason Gratl said Latimer will go on parole Dec. 6, after a hearing held last week.

Gratl said Latimer did not want to discuss the conditions of his release.

Latimer, 57, was given a life sentence for the 1993 death of his daughter, Tracey.

He was convicted by two sets of juries, one in 1994, and another at a retrial in 1997. He has said he did not receive a fair trial and wants Ottawa to reopen his case.

"It's obvious they didn't understand what was going on, and the medical stuff is hard to understand," he told reporters outside his farm in 2008. "You're not just going to read it and know."

Latimer has said the carbon monoxide poisoning of Tracy at his farm near Wilkie, Sask., was a mercy killing because of her years of pain and difficult surgeries.

"I really believe Canadians want issues like ours dealt with honestly," he said.

"If you look at the first trial, that wasn't honest. Then they pretty much had to carry it through and make that credible with another trial, which was just as crooked. They won't allow a jury to decide whether it was right or wrong."

Latimer has written numerous letters to the Supreme Court and federal politicians asking to have his case re-opened.

He has said he is haunted by a reference the Supreme Court made, saying more effective pain medication could have been given to Tracy.

Latimer said he understood Tracy's system could only handle children's Tylenol.

Latimer was released from prison in February 2008, spending five nights a week at a Victoria halfway house and the other two nights in his Victoria apartment.
