Instead, the jurors found him guilty of the lesser charge of second-degree murder as they rejected the defence’s argument he be found not criminally responsible. Tuesday’s verdict at the trial of Richard Henry Bain came on the 11th day of jury deliberations. MONTREAL—A jury has convicted Quebec’s 2012 election-night shooter of second-degree murder in the death of a lighting technician and found him guilty of three counts of attempted murder. Guttman said he will consider appealing and will seek the minimum 10-year prison sentence for the second-degree murder conviction. He also noted that Bain told police at the scene he meant to shoot over the heads of the stagehands.
