I really need to see Fatnotta haha!

I'm probably going to get emotional reading the victim impact statement. The main thing is that the right choice was made!

I used to be a scrooge, but now I believe in Christmas miracles <3

I would also like to say to the jury, great job!!! This must have been very difficult for them and I wouldn't have wanted to be in their shoes for anything!!!!!!! I think when they read everything in the media that they didn't get to know about they will be very sure they did the right thing.

Wonderful news on the verdict!! :happydance:

I checked twitter expecting to see the same old updates about the jury having lunch, breaks, and so on. Was so pleasantly surprised to see the news. I've been starting to worry this week, since it was taking so long.

I have to say I didn't think they were gonna go with guilty

I too shouted "YES" & scared my cat!

Two years. It is done. May the family of Jun Lin find some small comfort knowing justice has been served. A beautiful soul was taken from this earth.

Those who are crying, you're not alone. I have been crying as well. I lit a candle in honour & memory of Jun Lin and his family. It is strange, that feeling like you can finally breathe. The grief I feel in my heart, that poor mother & father... Rest In Peace Jun Lin.

Back in the court, #Magnotta is leaning over his lap, face aimed toward the floor. The lawyers are here, awaiting victim impact statement.

 

[No_Stone_Unturned]

I ran to the phone and called my husband with the news. When I hung up, I cried......so much emotion here.

Mother has not been the same since. His sister has to look after her. I think about how humiliating his death was. #Magnotta

We know the accused is not what Canada is about. #Magnotta #CJAD

Bless him :cry:

I know his killer is not what Canada is a about. I have spent a lot of time here. His name will only be associated with horrible crime

It hurts me deeply and will hurt me forever. My last words to him we're be careful my son #Magnotta

Lin Jun's birthday Dec 30. In our culture son looks after parents when they are old. We are 60 now #Magnotta

His chair is empty at our home. His phone never rings #Magnotta

Father is crying #Manotta

#Magnotta will be fed, housed and have medical care. We won't have that

We are satisfied that you have not let our son down. I came to see remorse or hear an apology and I leave with none #Magnotta

Crown now asking for maximum under each count #Magnotta



@sleeCJAD:

We have a Chinese saying, having a child who will take care parents, prevent loneliness. #Magnotta #CJAD

Now #JunLin will not be there for us. #CJAD #Magnotta

We do not want to tell our story because it is too sad. #Magnotta #CJAD

Murder has robbed us not only of Lin Jun, but also the ability to talk or think about him without pain. #Magnotta #CJAD

Came here to observe justice system and satisfied you have not let our son down. #Magnotta #CJAD
