BREAKING: Toronto van attack killer gets life in prison
A boy's drawing of the sun shining down on him and his mother brought a Toronto courtroom to tears Monday as victims spoke about the effect the city's deadly van attack had on them.
The hearing was the first opportunity victims and families have had to face the killer in person after his judge-alone trial and verdict occurred over videoconference during the pandemic. She said her 15-year-old son discovered his grandfather died after recognizing a lone shoe in the street near a covered body.Robert Forsyth told the court about his aunt, Betty Forsyth, who he called a "walking library" of family information.
Jun Seok Park said her family has since disavowed her because the crash had cost her and her family all of their money. "Now, finally they broke relationship with me and don’t have contact with me anymore because they think I am the thing that ruined their life financially," Park wrote.
