Prosecutors in McArthur’s case, meanwhile, sought a “measured” penalty of two consecutive sentences, or 50 years without parole. Below is a breakdown of the judge’s sentencing rationale in four recent high-profile cases of multiple murders: McArthur, Bissonnette, Dellen Millard and Elizabeth Wettlaufer. McArthur admitted in court last week to killing and concealing the dismembered remains of eight men in Toronto between 2010 and 2017. Separately, Millard was convicted two months ago in the 2012 shooting death of his father, Wayne Millard. But while Wettlaufer and McArthur were each sentenced concurrently, the judges in their cases arrived at those decisions for different reasons.
