-- "A Toronto man, a 29-year-old Jahvon Waldron who stole gold chains from two strangers before shooting them both outside a Scarborough nightclub has been found guilty of second-degree murder and robbery. It took the jury just one day of deliberating before convicting Waldron. Second-degree murder means an automatic life sentence. The judge will have to decide on a period of parole ineligibility between ten and 25 years." --

It gets better...
  --  "Mohamed acknowledged he has a criminal record and was under a court order at the time banning him from owning a handgun." -- >
