TORONTO — The verdict in Toronto’s van attack trial will be broadcast on YouTube on Wednesday.
Alek Minassian has pleaded not guilty to 10 counts of first-degree murder and 16 counts of attempted murder.
He argues he should be found not criminally responsible due to his autism spectrum disorder.
Minassian’s trial was conducted over Zoom due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The broadcast was limited to a small number of people that included victims, their families, and select journalists.
