Families have been waiting since January 31st for this day to arrive since Judge Cardinal said she would hand down the sentencing in the case of Jaskirat Sidhu on March 22nd.

Individuals and families make their way into the Kerry Vickar Centre where soon another chapter will close in this horrific event.

Back in January Crown Prosecutor, Thomas Healy, explained what needed to go into sentencing.

"The court has a particularly difficult job as there is no sentencing precedent in Canada for a case such as this. Sentencing is an individualized process that's based on many factors. In making its decision about the appropriate sentence the court will have to consider many factors in determining a sentence that is proportionate to the gravity of the offence and Mr. Sidhu's degree of responsibilities. The court will have to weight the grave consequences of Mr. Sidhu's criminal actions, the aggravating and mitigating circumstances of the offence including the early guilty plea, and his expression of remorse." 

Court opens at 10am.
