REGINA — Convicted murderer Colin Thatcher will get a chance this month to make his case for full parole.
The National Parole Board says Thatcher will get a hearing Nov. 30 in Regina to determine if he should be released.
Thatcher has been living at a Regina halfway house since being granted day parole earlier this year.
Last month, he was given an extended medical leave after he was thrown from a horse and fractured four ribs while at his family farm near Moose Jaw.
That leave expired on Monday and the parole board didn't extend it.
Thatcher, a former Saskatchewan cabinet minister, spent 22 years in prison for the murder of his former wife, JoAnn Wilson, in 1983.

I applaud the budget, even though Health Care and education may stay unscathed. Sadly this cannot last and I worry to later this year where cuts will become enviable. If anything, this provides the Wildrose Alliance plenty of ammo when an election is called.
