The man responsible for the deadly 2018 van attack in Toronto wants to appeal his conviction on 10 counts of first-degree murder and 16 counts of attempted murder.
Alek Minasyan was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for 25 years on June 13.
This week, he filed an appeal with the Ontario Superior Court.
In the appeal, Minassian claims, among other things, that the trial judge “misconstrued” the expert evidence and made unreasonable findings of fact related to the refusal to find him not responsible.
The gruesome crime shocked the entire city.
Eight women and two men died on April 23, 2018, when the 25-year-old, who was disgraced, angry at women who wouldn’t sleep with him and radicalized in the depths of the internet, deliberately drove a rental van down a busy north end sidewalk of the city.
Another woman died more than three years later from injuries sustained that day.
There is more.
