5/31/24 Update: Sentencing hearing: Standing in the prisoner’s box nine days after a jury found Dallas Ly guilty of the second-degree murder of his mother, 46-year-old Tien Ly, the convicted killer apologized & thanked those friends who had stood by him over the past two years. *Before Justice Brian O’Marra recessed court, reserving his decision on a period of parole ineligibility, Dallas’s lawyer Jessyca Greenwood asked the judge if her client could have a moment to speak with his aunt, grandmother & friends now that the no-communication order was ending. The judge agreed to the request before Dallas turned and looked towards the body of the court.
*A victim impact statement was read out by the Crown prosecutor on behalf of Huyen Ly, Tien’s sister.
*The jury convicted Dallas of second-degree murder after just a day of deliberations, rejecting the defence argument that he was provoked. A second-degree murder conviction is an automatic life sentence but the judge must decide on a period of parole ineligibility between 10 & 25 years. Crown attorney Jay Spare argued that 15 years would be appropriate given the victim was Dallas’s mother who was brutally killed in her own home by multiple stab wounds. Dallas’s lawyer Jessyca Greenwood argued a more appropriate period of parole ineligibility would be between 10 & 12 years. Judge O’Marra will deliver his sentence on the question of parole ineligibility on 6/26/24.
