From 2006 Murders to Total Freedom: the Full Jasmine Richardson Timeline
By David Miller
The outcome for the adult in the crime was drastically different. Jeremy Steinke was tried as an adult and convicted in December 2008 on three counts of first-degree murder. The judge sentenced him to life in prison with no possibility of parole for twenty-five years.
Steinke is serving his sentence in a federal maximum-security penitentiary. Inside prison, he legally changed his name to Jackson May and reportedly renounced his prior gothic vampire persona. His earliest window to apply for parole opens in 2033, at which point he will be fifty years old. Even if granted parole, he will remain under lifelong correctional supervision.
Richardson, conversely, walked out of her final review on May 7, 2016, completely free. Because she completed her sentence as a juvenile, the Canadian legal system treated her past as permanently concluded. Under the YCJA, her records were purged from public view, and her publication ban became permanent.
