Richard Henry Bain has been found guilty of second-degree murder for shooting and killing stagehand Denis Blanchette the night of the 2012 Quebec provincial election. Bain was also found guilty of three counts of attempted murder. The third attempted murder charge alleged that Bain pointed his gun at police officer Sgt. The jury had four verdicts to consider for the first-degree murder charge: not criminally responsible because of a mental disorder, guilty of manslaughter, guilty of second-degree murder or guilty of first-degree murder. The defence had argued that Bain should be found not criminally responsible due to a mental disorder.
