The man convicted in the deaths of 11 people has been sentenced to life in prison with no chance for parole for 25 years.
The sentence came after victim impact statements were read in the courtroom on Monday, as family members and friends of the victims gathered in-person to speak of their loss in Toronto's infamous van attack of 2018.
Alek Minassian was found guilty last year of 10 counts of first-degree murder and 16 counts of attempted murder. One of the victims injured in the attack died last November following Minassian's conviction.
Catherine McDonald reports on the emotions inside and outside the courtroom, and the legal implications of verdict.

My sincere condolences again for peace for the families. That monster must never get parole.
Never mind parole. He should never step out of prison ever again. He murdered ten innocent people and injured sixteen people. Those people did not do anything to him.
kills 11, gets a chance for parole, and my tax dollars have to pay for this dudes living.
The system works
Calm down, the parole board is composed of professionals not some looney bin people, he won't get parole ok. He will rot. If you want him to get the death penalty sign a petition. For him to get the penalty and also vote Justin Trudeau out.
He’s not going to get parole, even though he’ll be eligible in 25 years doesn’t mean he’ll get out. When the judge sees what he’s done, they’ll almost certainly deny him parole and tell him to go to hell.
This case will remain in the public consciousness for all time. When this worthless POS is eligible for parole you can be sure that he won't be released knowing full well what the public furor would be. Its the same thing with Paul Bernardo. He's been eligible for parole since 2020 and he's been refused each time he's applied.
Strict conditions? I would live under strict conditions to get an hour with lost loved one, even a minute, a second. Anything.
Calm down. Parole board is comprised of professionals, they won't give him parole ok. Paul Bernado got denied parole. So will this POS.
In Canada if you're doing 3 or more life 25 sentences, like this guy, the parole board will NOT let you out. They will even tell you that. I've done a 66 month sentence and am very familiar with our correction system
May I ask who told you that? and also why were you sentenced to 66 months?
He only got 25 years for all 10 people he killed, that's 2 1/2 years for each person, unreal.
If he did that in the US, some states would have given him the death penalty.
25 to life is just ridiculous. Should have been given life with no possibility of parole.
Life sentence is defined as 25 years in Canada, so essentially he is serving a life sentence without parole.
It’s not the judge’s fault, 25 years to life is the longest sentence in allowable in Canada bylaw. Even though he’ll be eligible for parole in 25 years doesn’t mean he’ll get out, the judge will likely deny him any parole when the time comes.
concurrent. what a joke, it should be consecutive. and btw, a life sentence under canadian federal law still means that you can be out on day parole with an escort after 1/6 of the sentence served. As a reporter, i did this story back in 1984 after interviewing officials at kingston penetentiary and was shocked, shocked to learn that a lifer on good behaviour can be back out on the street on day parole with an armed escort after serving four and change years. i wrote that story 38 years ago and this law is still in effect. so people will see minassian at mcdonalds for his daily burger in a little over four years from now, if he keeps his nose clean in jail. that's because it's all about rehabilitation, not punishment.
this stupid Supreme Court of Canada ruled that consecutive sentences can't be given as they are "cruel" so multiple murder sentences by a single individual must be served concurrently--ridiculous
25 years for each death
Life in prison is what it should be no parole ever!!!!!
What a waste of taxpayer money, should just take out the noose and avoid the legal costs and imprisonment costs
He’s not going to get parole, even though he’s eligible for parole in 25 years doesn’t mean he will get it. Most judges will deny him parole when they see what he’s done.
@Joka Faulkner Do you not know what parole means?
Pure evil. Check out the JCS video on the interrogation.
People were praising that detective for his interrogation skills. They were good but it's not hard when the suspect doesn't even deny the crime 🤣
@@worsethanjoerogan8061 The killers confession was a bit of a lay down, I agree. I thought the video on Col. Panty Raider was better detective work.
@@mr.c.2888 We must start a beta uprising and overthrow the chads so we can force the staceys into reproducing with us
@@worsethanjoerogan8061 an absolute layup
relating that to 9/11? i dunno about that. wish i didnt hear that tbh... poor taste
Yep.
I agree. It for sure a very bad very careless act this person had done. But saying it’s a Terrorist act and comparing this as a Canadian Equivalent to USA 911. is simply not that.
noun
a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
Or
adjective
unlawfully using violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
"a terrorist organization"
Please give accurate examples
It’s like I’m reporting this news to Fox News or Saturday night live news neither are true examples. Say what it is this is Canada global news not more not less.
@@eyesareopentoall3320 This is the equivalent of world trade center bombing in '93 at best. This is Canada's columbine I guess is more accurate.
So 29 + 25 = 54. After 54, he has a chance for parole? Let him stay in the jail forever
Concurrently,chance of parole after 25 years
Better, bullet straight through the skull. Good old death penalty should be reinstated.
he couldn't get laid so he decided to guarantee he won't be able to get laid for 25 years to life... but maybe he will get some action in prison lol
all he's gotta do is "drop" the soap
Really 🤣 could of just went to a massage parlour or a strip club
Now he gets free housing courtesy of our tax dollars, while law abiding citizens struggle with trying to afford a home.
you don't want the free housing he's going to get
Have you seen that free housing its not like norway or denmark prison.. they eat food with literal 💩 in it and the housing is garden shed at best. Being homeless is not as bad honestly imo .
Bro is comparing prison to being homeless
For these types of crimes and being caught in the act should deserve the death penalty. Victims should not have to go through having to give impact statements again.
@@-007-2 it’ll cost taxpayers millions of dollars to house him. Money could be better spent to assist the elderly and those in need. I say bring back the death penalty
Finally. Justice is served. Let’s use this as the example for future sentences!
no justice .subject is still alive ??????????????? what justice lame duck
@@calvinsomething5348 I’m a white supremacist. I don’t think that white people who commit crimes should get lesser sentences than blacks nor do I see any evidence of that being true.
@@calvinsomething5348He’s Armenian
Pure evil is an understatement. Solitary for life. No contact with humans. Let him rot.
So very sad. I send My love to the victims and their families
He'll live longer than twenty-five years
Over 3000 people were killed during the 9-11 attacks, countless buildings and vehicles destroyed. That's not taking into account the loss of life and damage at The Pentagon and in Pennsylvania. How could what Manassian did possibly be comparable?? "Canadian 9-11." Such ignorance smh
He will be out in 10 years for good behaviour.He should serve his parole in a parole board members house.
No he’ll probably never get out, even though he’s eligible for parole in 25 years, most rational judges would deny him parole due to what he’s done.
We MUST ban all vans. Nobody needs a vehicle that has the ability to carry the most amount of people in the least amount of trips.
not to mention who can afford one with the gas prices this high
I kindly disagree. Vans can be a great tool for movement of products and carpooling. The van incident mentioned in the video could have been done with a car
But where else will I sell my candy?
We need van buy back program
Yo yo do you hear yourself lmao ban vans only gov and cops lol wow your something special aren't you ..🤪
Lol he'll be out on parole after serving 2/3rds of that 25 years so in about 16.5 years subtract time served so about 14 years.
Not how it works ... Life 25 means he can apply for day parole at year 22 of his sentence - if he remains in Ontario - he'll never get close to a Camp (Minimum Security) and zero chance he'll ever be paroled in Ontario. PS; Life 25 means you are serving a sentence for 'your natural life'.
Literally not how 25 years before POSSIBILITY of parole works here. That’s the the most legally we can grant in Canada. But there’s plenty of people who will never be let out of prison no matter how long they are in their for Paul Bernardo, Willie Pickton almost every mass murderer will not be released ever due to the severity of their crime (Karla Homolka is a rarity because the prosecution was dumb af in that scenario thinking because she’s a woman she didn’t play a big role in what Paul did and gave her a plea deal before gathering all the evidence). They can attempt like Paul does but that doesn’t mean they ever getting out. This dude will spend his life in prison.
At least it won't be as bad as the Manitoba bus decapitatior, he only did 5 years.
@@robertreid6704 the only way he will be held indefinitely is if he is deemed a dangerous offender which he will probably avoid using the mental health argument, even if paroled he will still be on probation/parole for life. And most offenders only serve 2/3rds of a sentence 2 years or more so we'll see.
@@ChaNnArD-mD So much of your comment is just not correct. Firstly that’s a different type of sentence he technically couldn’t be found guilty due to his insanity. He was found not criminally responsible. That’s a totally different type of court ruling. He was not given any type of minimum sentence since that is solely about rehabilitating someone based off their mental health issues till they are safe to be in society again. Also he was not fully discharged until 2017 the incident happened in 2008. When it comes to mental health based sentences they are not “doing time” they are receiving treatment so he didn’t “only do 5 years”. He was never doing time he was receiving intensive mental health treatments.
does anyone know in which prison is he serving his sentence?
My condolences to those families affected by this mass murder.
But, I am wondering that nobody of the government is calling for ban on renting cars like was used in this horrible action. Trudeau was calling a gun ban after mass shooting in Texas. What a hypocrat.
Oh stfu, tired of your trolling right wing talking points, getting old now
Yeah people forget the similarities between guns and vehicles. We are just more comfortable with vehicles. We walk on the sidewalk while cars pass, but so many people are scared of a gun. A vehicle can do a lot more damage in less time.
I also feel this tragedy would have made more headlines if it where gun related.
Were not Americans we don't need to have guns as our Country is safe.
If you feel rental vehicles should be banned because of this the so does alcohol as more are harmed and killed each year due to drunk driving.
Oh and guns are not banned here in Canada. Very few Countries have gun bans.
"Our country is safe"? Did you hear of the shooting in Toronto?
Trudeau wants to ban all business of hand guns. He even claims that self defense is not a charter right.
Wake up anf face reality, please.
The paperwork that Trudeau filed for the gun ban was dated before the shooting in Texas the prick was just looking for any excuse
Terrible tragedy! Hopefully he stays in jail indefinitely and not released in a few years for good behavior because of a sympathetic parole board or other factors.
Saint alek. I respect you brother, I would love to follow in your footsteps. In a video game
Parole… he’ll get out sooner, as Trudeau wants Canada to be softer on crime and give criminals more breaks.
He's a person of colour so Trudeau will set him free.
Ya I’m honestly surprised Trudeau doesn’t just pay to have him “rehabilitated”
Death Penalty, not tax dollars to house you Alek. 50c bullet straight through the skull.
That's sad
Is the 25 year parole eligible thing a Canadian thing? Or do they also have life without parole?
It is the maximum punishment in Canada. But it is unlikely he will get out in the next 25 years as it is very rare
No interview with his parents?
WHAT? He did this because he was being rejected by women? OMG! I'm all for him going to prison for the rest of his life but, how do we fix this problem of men like him being rejected by women? Are there any stats or studies on men who become violent or go on a murder rampage because of being rejected by women or is this something new?
He has aspergers, its a terrible mental condition, l wonder if he had treatment for this mental condition growing up. He had absolutely no remorse for what he did.
Im not death penalty, bring it back baby. I mean we have it for people who are dying or are mentally ill now its called MAID. Why not for criminals.
He will be out after 10 years.
I love my country but how does he get 25 years give him 40 like that kid in markham who killed his family or 75 like millard no ones trying to here him go for parole every 2 years
Didnt he know how to use windscreen wipers
Make sure you freeze his bank account too.
i STRUGGLE to understand why people like these dont get the death penalty
Just a reminder that every Canadian in this comment section is paying for this man to still be alive, fed three meals a day, access to books, showers, sleeping quarters, gym access, and if he want's it...education.
If given the choice, i'll gladly pay the electric bill for the chair instead.
Ban assault vans! I don't know why anyone needs a fully automatic van.
Hey hey I own a van and live in it full time ..that's the stupidest comment only cops and delivery should own vans lmao your out of your mind
@@erikdonavan7140 You sound like a radical, far right van rights extremist. You don't need a van. The blood of every van attack is on your hands. You're worse than Hitler!!!! Dirty NAZI!!!!!
Haha I love the comments. Can't wait for the government to ban automatic assault vehicles. Only then will we be safe.
10 people are dead and this is what you have to say. Pathetic
@Yo Yo So, the delivery guys need a van. For purposes other than mowing people down. You need a gun to do what? What can it do other than killing?
Yup, I'm sure in 25 years he'll be released.
Probably not, the judge will likely refuse to grant him parole when they see the terrible crime he committed.
@@animalloverjulian8243 ...probably....but it is still possible he'll be released.
Vans should be ban.
If you watch his arrest interview you will see there are many more like him.
Ban vans.
Don't worry Trudeau is trying to do that already. Its called the carbon tax. 😂
Trudeau will award him 10.5 million dollars for his pain and suffering.
Hmmmm? No not really. Not even close. Why would you ever say something so strange, illogical and absurd?
I think people are getting fed up with murder due to religious nonsense. At the end of the day, after peeling back the layers, that’s what this is about. Hating women, etc etc. So sick of it.
You could of drawn brownie even more white. How big was kelman's schnoze pre-job?
Justice denied.
System will look great all collapsed a d twitching on the floor.
Firing Squad for you Alek.
im surprised people arent blaming gta (grand theft auto)
everyone is aware it’s loser incel ideology that caused this
That's because it was stated in Court why he did it - and had nothing to do with video games.
Why would they
@@megawave79 well you know how some old people are they see a game where you can run people over and then proceed to blaming the game
@@robertreid6704 Yeah it was violent video games that's what sets off most with Autism. Just shoot the rabbid dog already.
Wonder why they're not blaming the van itself? That's what they do for guns...
I totally agree with you. criminals will always find other means. Australia banned guns. Not only did the criminals still manage to get tge prohibited weapona but when they couldn't they just atarted setting fire to everything
You can use vans to transport stuff. I don't think guns have usages other than killing.
@@mapleveritas2698 killing isn't the problem. Its the killing of innocent people thats the problem. In the united states, for every murder commited with a firearm their are at least 10 cases of killing via legal self defense. If guns were to dissapear, the innocent would be hurt more than the criminals
@@mapleveritas2698 I have a stack of paper targets and clays that would disagree.
No, they blame the law that allows easy access to guns. Your argument makes no sense, should we blame cars every time there is a crash?
Rip harry
Hahahaha, parabéns aí!!
When vans attack 🤪
lol
ban vans!
Only 25 years? INSANE. He must never get out. Pity he wasn't thrown in a women's prison.
Lets not mention that he was a Muslim....
I hope he gets out one who cares if he killed I don’t
free the homie
Lol what the f
May his soul be free to God and he repent repent repent
Good to see him locked up
O, 9/11, kay, i got it. Thanks.
That’s means that he will be a 55years old virgin
😂
Nah he will be someone's prison toy licking his nipples like there a Buddhist goddess.
