The former Trenton woman who spent two years in a Mexican prison will likely serve the remainder of her five-year sentence in a halfway house getting treatment for mental health issues..
Fifty-three-year-old Brenda Martin appeared before members of the National Parole Board yesterday in Kitchener, where she has been held since January when her parole was suspended after she drank alcohol .
She admitted she suffers from depression and loneliness, but not alcoholism, and said she wants to live a normal life. Martin spent two years in a Mexican prison on a money-laundering conviction before the Canadian government negotiated her much-publicized transfer home in 2008.
