Whiteside pleaded guilty to manslaughter for killing Gupta on Christmas Day 2011.
Gupta was a 29-year-old immigrant from India, where he was studying business at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. He was shot and killed during a robbery on a day he was not even supposed to be working.
He was not scheduled to work that day, but agreed to work an evening shift as a favour to the owner so he could spend the holiday with his family.
