Original: Ajax man found guilty of second-degree murder of girlfriend, jury rejects intoxication defence https:// fed.brid.gy/r/ht
A jury has found Kyle Severin, a man from Ajax, Ontario, guilty of second-degree murder in the killing of his girlfriend. The jury rejected the defence's argument that intoxication should reduce his culpability. The verdict closes a case that drew attention for its contested defence strategy, and Severin now faces an automatic life sentence with a parole ineligibility period to be set.
Why now: The verdict in a local murder trial, with the rejection of an intoxication defence, has drawn public attention.
