Marco Muzzo who was killed 3 siblings, grandfather

Marco Muzzo, the drunk driver of a three-year-old boy and their grandfather in a crash of Toronto, was denied day on Wednesday.

At an emotional floor board hearing in Gravenhurst, Ont., Where Muzzo is being held at the Beaver Creek minimum-security jail, the now 32-year-old said he feels "terrible" about the crash.

The word board panel swiftly denied his first appeal for word, just within 20 minutes that they "do not believe [Muzzo’s] risk is manageable. "

Word board member Kevin Corcoran told a packed hearing room: "We do not question your wagon." It's obvious that this is a very difficult thing for you to deal with. "

I do not get word from this life sentence of misery and despair.– Jennifer Neville-Lake, mother of children killed in crash

Neville-Lake children – Daniel, 9, Harrison, 5, and Milly, 2, – and their grandfather, Gary Neville , 65, in a crash in Vaughan, four months earlier.

"I know what they are experiencing," Muzzo told the panel while fighting back tears. "I have a hard time forgiving myself.

Muzzo denies alcohol abuse

Muzzo has repeatedly denied he had issues with alcohol abuse during the September 2015 crash.

He was found to have a blood-alcohol level of the legal limit in Ontario, according to an agreed statement of facts in the case.

Corcoran highlighted that a serious issue.

"The difficulty is that when you die, the alcohol is definitely a considerable factor," he said in his decision.

"You may be in the process of doing something wrong with your substance misuse, if not abuse."

In the three-hour hearing, Corcoran contends that Muzzo overlooked his story when he was caught up in Vaughan strip club. The charges were later dropped.

Muzzo and a friend started a fight with the bouncer and threatened their lives after being denied entry. Muzzo was arrested, Corcoran told the board, and continued to be "belligerent," and tried to crack the window of the police cruiser.

"That's pretty extreme," Corcoran said, pointing out that interaction speaks to a history.

'I'm not an addict'

Earlier Muzzo had told the panel that he was in the process of becoming a member of the profession.

"I firmly believe I'm not addicted," Muzzo said.

Lynn Dubciak, his word officer, told the panel that Muzzo did not qualify for substance abuse treatment because he did not meet the requirements.

Muzzo's lawyer, Michael Mandelcorn, had proposed conditions, beyond a 12-year driving ban, be placed on his word. This included refraining from drinking alcohol or visiting a licensed establishment.

'I should have known better'

Muzzo, then 29, had just returned home from his weekend-long bachelor party in Miami. He admitted to having four alcoholic beverages on a private jet after a night of partying. "I felt fine, but there was that slight grogginess," he said.

He picked up his Jeep Grand Cherokee from the parking lot at Toronto's Pearson International Airport and drove off, taking rural sideroads to his home in Vaughan.

"I do not believe my decision-making was the best of its ability," he told the panel Wednesday. "I should have known better, but I took a chance."

Still, Muzzo maintained alcohol was a witness to the crime scene.

He claimed the "shock" of seeing what he did to members of the Neville-Lake family affected him.

"It's something I can not forget," Muzzo said. He has been diagnosed with moderate post-traumatic stress disorder.

'Life sentence of misery and despair'

Jennifer Neville-Lake, the mother of the children Muzzo killed, hearing the hearing with a gut-wrenching victim impact statement, saying: "I do not get word from this life sentence of misery and despair."

Neville-Lake had urged supporters on Facebook to write letters to the word board, stating how his family's story had affected them.

Corcoran said that they had a "significant" number of letters and more than 13,000 had signed an online petition, which were factored into the decision to deny speech.

"I've done a horrible thing." "I'm sorry," Muzzo said Wednesday.

Although Neville-Lake told reporters after the hearing she was a "bit surprised" by the outcome, she said it will not bring her family back.

"It does not change a thing for me." "I still go to an empty house and stare at urns," she said.

"There's no win." There's no victory.

Muzzo can appeal today's decision within two months. He can reapply for day and full speech in one year, according to the Correctional Service of Canada. The National Parole Board is responsible for the deaths of four people.

"I do not want any more victims." I do not want any more tragedy, "Muzzo told the board.

The Muzzo family, which owns the drywall company Marel Contractors, is one of Canada's wealthiest, worth more than $ 1.8 billion, according to a Canadian Business magazine Estimate in 2017.

Muzzo was listed as a director of Marel Contractors, which has projects across Toronto, including ones in the Liberty Village and the Adelaide Hotel, formally named the Trump International Hotel and Tower.
