Goodman says he's a "little surprised," and needs some time to get his comments together. We'll be back at 4:15 for sentencing.

​Really? He is surprised??

I think surprised that no one will be entering victim impact statements and that the Crown is asking for sentencing to be done right away.....my take on it.....not necessarily surprised by the verdict....

NOW...time for the Crown to shift their attention to charges for SS and MB

That seems odd.

Even if he 'was' surprised (over what? MS?), it seems weird that he'd say it out loud.

Edit, ah, this makes more sense:

I think surprised that no one will be entering victim impact statements and that the Crown is asking for sentencing to be done right away.....my take on it.....not necessarily surprised by the verdict....

***CBC lawyer 'no point in victim impact statements. It may not be in their interest. Victim impact statements if made will be recorded for the parole board"

CBC Host: Justice Goodman seems upset, he will delay his ruling about sentencing until later this afternoon..Judge needs time to prepare his comments for sentencing this afternoon.

Again, to recap, both Dellen Millard and Mark Smich have been found guilty of first-degree muder of Tim Bosma.

The Bosma family are crying and hugging each other. Sharlene just hugged Insp. Dave Hillman from the OPP. There is cheering and applause outside the courtroom as the family walked out.

I don't like that at all - he is undermining the jury decision with that statement!

I wonder if CN will post a super deep and thought provoking photo on instagram in light of her lover's new fate.

The original plan would have been to return to their respective jails until the sentencing hearing at a later date.

With no VIS, Leitch wants them read now, as they are automatic. I think Goodman is surprised because he wasn't expecting to deliver the "life with no chance of parole for 25 years" official sentence today.

Justice has prevailed.... these two were found guilty of M1, even with all of the dis-allowed evidence, and witness testimony! Jury is obviously able to see what type of scumbags these two are, and they are finally getting what they deserve!

 

[Prairie_dawg]

Now lets hope some charges come out for alot of the other scum caught up in this trial. I was/am hoping the others would get charged based on the outcome of this trial. Go get em LE!!!!!

 

[robynhood]

sentencing will be dealt with by Judge Goodman..they will never be free...4;15 bye bye to Ms and Dm ...Cp24 announces it now...robynhood.

Maybe he just didn't expect to have to do the sentencing today.

I just don't get this. Why is Goodman upset??

Ok that makes good sense then. Thank you for that perspective.
