Quebec mosque shooter gets life

Quebec City: A 29- year- old who shot dead six worshipers at a Quebec City mosque in the worst antiMuslim attack in the West got life in prison on Friday. Alexandre Bissonnette will have to wait 40 years - longer than usual - before he can apply for parole. In his decision, Judge Francois Huot rejected a prosecution request for a 150- year sentence, which would have been the longest ever in Canada, saying “subjecting a murder to a sentence that exceeds his life expectancy” would be cruel under law. But he also noted the killer's “visceral hatred of Muslim immigrants.”
