Bissonnette pleaded guilty Wednesday to all charges against him, including six counts of first-degree murder and six counts of attempted murder, reversing a not-guilty plea made two days earlier. Mohamed Labidi, the former president of Quebec City's Islamic Cultural Centre, speaks to reporters after Alexandre Bissonette pleaded guilty to all charges in the mosque shooting. Last year's shooting cast a shadow over Quebec City, leaving Muslims in the provincial capital fearful and raising questions about Islamophobia in Quebec society. Hassan Guillet, a prominent imam, said the guilty plea doesn't mean the media and politicians are off the hook. Outside the courtroom, he said the guilty plea was a "good thing."
