Verdict expected today in Toronto van attack trial

A verdict is expected today at the trial of the man who killed 10 people and injured 16 others after deliberately driving a van down a busy Toronto sidewalk.

Alek Minassian pleaded not guilty to 10 counts of first-degree murder and 16 of attempted murder.

He argued he should be found not criminally responsible for his actions on Apr. 23, 2018 due to his autism spectrum disorder.

The 28-year-old from Richmond Hill admitted to planning and carrying out the attack, leaving his state of mind the only issue at trial.

The verdict will be read live on YouTube.
