A judge has declared that Alek Minassian, the man responsible for Toronto’s deadly van attack in 2018, is guilty of 10 counts of first-degree murder and 16 counts of attempted murder.
Though I wonder why the ruling is 83 pages long? Does it really require that much legal justification to say he's guilty and this his claim of "Autism made me do it" is BS?

Judges like to be thorough when it comes to cases like this. He likely wants to be sure that no one else can use this as a defence, without being able to jump some pretty big hurdles.
This is a good verdict. It suppresses a shitstorm that would have occurred if the justice had fallen for the mental illness nonsense. Unfortunately it now enters the traditional territory of far too many verdicts & sentences in Canada, in that the cycle of endless appeals starts where this POS could end up free one day because another justice somewhere along the line voids the verdict because the original trial justice placed a comma in the wrong place in his statement.
Criminals are found guilty just as often in Canada as they are anywhere else in the Western countries. Our problem lies in that appeals succeed too often because the judges are given too far a latitude that result in sentences being overturned. Or in really bad crimes resulting in too soft sentencing.

"Better that ten guilty go free, than one innocent be punished."
"JaredMilne" said He'll have plenty of time to think about hookers. I wonder if he'll get the max... Life with Parole in 250 years.
With luck, he'll a hooker when his cellmate starts whoring him out for cigarettes. Plus side, he'll no longer be incel. Although he might realize it wasn't so bad. Sex in prison is like sex in High School, the sex want; you don't get. The sex you get; you don't want.
Note: may have gone too far. But I will not apologise for art.
Have they never heard of hookers?
