The landmark sentencing for the Christchurch mosque killer is under way. That decision falls to Justice Cameron Mander - however, it will likely be several days before he formally passes sentence. Some will say their piece in court in front of the gunman, others have been recorded on video and some will be read aloud by lawyers. Alongside the length of that sentence, the other great unknown is how the gunman will respond during the hearing. Roads are closed around the Christchurch Law Courts, and there's a heavy police presence at the scene.
