Amanda Greene, convicted of manslaughter, gets day parole extended
Day parole has been extended for a Nova Scotia woman convicted of the manslaughter of her ex-boyfriend.
Amanda Greene lured Dillon Jewett, 18, to his death in 2010. She pleaded guilty to manslaughter in 2011 and got a seven-year sentence. She first got parole last year.
Greene is in a new relationship, according to documents from the Parole Board of Canada. She has told her boyfriend and his parents that she was convicted of manslaughter.
"The board is satisfied that your risk to the community does remain manageable on a continued day parole," it said in its decision to extend full day parole for another six months.
She must report all "intimate sexual and non-sexual" relationships and friendships to her parole officer.
"You were involved in the murder of your victim, who was a previous partner. This has had a tremendous impact on the victims of your crime," it wrote. "As such, to ensure there are no other victims, this area must be monitored closely."
Greene can't consume of possess alcohol or drugs.
Greene lied to parole officers and took drugs, alcohol
She first got day parole in January 2014, but lost it after she started using marijuana and was caught with alcohol in her vehicle.
In August 2014, she told her parole officer that her car had broken down and she couldn't get back to the halfway house for the night.
She was told to take a cab back, but did not. When she did return, she tested positive for THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. Her parole supervisor found alcohol and a detox kit that purported to flush substances out of her body.
The officer also found receipts from a bar. The receipts proved she had lied and said she was at work when she was in fact at the bar.
She later got her day parole reinstated.
Greene told the parole board that the recent birth of her son has helped her improve her life. She has a hobby and plans to find a career as a cook.
Greene's then boyfriend, Kyle Gowan, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for shooting Jewett to death. Steven Gowan, his brother, got three years for trying to cover up the murder.
