It took longer than I thought

But it was still a Friday verdict...

First-degree murder conviction in Rengel case

A jury has convicted a Toronto teen of first-degree murder in the New Year's Day 2008 slaying of 14-year-old Stefanie Rengel -- a case driven by pathological jealousy and powered by technology.

Hopefully the verdict stands, unlike the Rena Virk case here in B.C., I believe that case will now be heard by the Supreme Court of Canada, which is the forth time the case has gone to trial. It's so sad to see all the peoples lives who have been turned upside down by these type of unnecessary vicious crimes. I hope as a society we continue to move forward with research and education to eradicate this type of behaviour from our youths.
P.S. Love the polar bear post.
