Students in McGill University’s law faculty say they are concerned about the presence of a convicted murderer on campus and at faculty events. The man, Jeffrey George Ewert, was convicted of second-degree murder and attempted murder for two attacks committed in B. C., in 1984: he sexually assaulted and killed one woman and, less than six weeks later, beat and choked a 15-year-old so severely that she was paralyzed and disabled for life, according to a summary of his case in his parole board file. Ewert is serving a life sentence and was granted day parole in 2025. He’s been attending law classes at McGill and going to faculty events since August. His parole was extended for another six months in June 2026. While various clinical assessments ranked Ewert’s risk of reoffending as moderate to high, official parole documents say with close supervision at a halfway house and clinical follow-up, that risk “seems to fall more into the moderate risk category.”Although Ewert’s case management team did not believe he posed an undue risk to society, the parole board did express concern about his interactions with and attitudes toward women.
