This never ceaees to amaze me .... sentencing so quickly after a verdict is rare here. Yes! Canada definitely rocks!

Thank you to everyone for making an unbearable case a bit more tolerable. It has been a real pleasure following along with all of you. Thank you to our tweeter-pros for all their devotion and nimble fingers.

Thank you, Canada, for serving justice where it is deserved, And bless those jurors and the family. I sincerely hope the worst of the images fade and you will remember the kind, smiling, laughing, happy ones you knew.

His parents are quite old. He might have some longevity. I hope the judge sentences him consecutively because even the thought of an octogenarian DG out in the world scares the **** out of me.

Plus he plain doesn't deserve to see the light of day again. IMO

:jail:

I am so relieved! Great job jury. This truly restores my faith in the system.

It is interesting to see a sentence come down so quickly.

We have a family friend who was found guilty in a trial during the spring of 2016 in Calgary. They were supposed to do sentencing in December 2016 but it still hasn't happened.

Hi everyone! Long time lurker finally took the plunge...

First degree - yassss!!!
May he never again see the light of day. Not an ounce of mercy, not even for an innocent and sweet little boy - absolute monster.
