The long trial of Douglas Garland came to an end just after 2:00pm today (February 17).

This morning, Nathan O'Brien's parents and the children of Alvin and Kathy Liknes delivered statments to the accused on the impact of the murders. O'Brien's parents were present in court to read their own statments, while the rest of the statments were delivered by the crown.

After hearing arguments from the Crown and the Defence, Justice David Gates sentenced Douglas Garland to serve consecutive sentences, meaning he must serve 75 years in prision without parole eligibility.
