Nadine Bernard was sentenced in 2011 to life in prison with a parole ineligibility period of 20 years .

She pleaded guilty to the second -degree murder of her 18-month-old son, Jayden Bernard , in 2009 .

After a three-week hearing at the Brampton courthouse, a jury arrived at their verdict on the faint hope application on Jan. 27 .

The verdict means Bernard , who has been in custody since her arrest on March 27, 2009 , can apply for parole now after serving less than 16 years .

Huberman said Bernard is ready to enter the community, under supervision, but still progressing through her correctional plan.

Huberman reminded the jury if it’s too soon for her to be released, then the Parole Board can deny her application.

“She will be spending the rest of her life trying to honour Jayden by giving back to the community as much as she can and making sure she never falls back into her old mindset,” said Huberman .
