To clarify, two of the Coutts 4 are still in custody.
All 4 were found Not Guilty of Conspiracy to Commit Murder.
But the remaining two in custody were found Guilty of individual charges including Firearm Possession Charges for Dangerous Purposes, Mischief and Possession of an Explosive Device.
They are to be sentenced Aug 12th.
People are assuming they will be sentenced to time served, but this is not yet a fact.
I'm only assuming time served because if they actually trying to jail them seems like an appeal would come swifter than a kick in the ass while the crown has an unlawful imprisonment suit breathing down their necks. This at least signals theirs still some in the judiciary with some scruples on the matter too.
I have no specific expertise, but wouldn't be surprised to see some actual ongoing incarceration.
The two other accused got time served by pleading guilty via a plea deal to lesser charges.
This one actually went to a secret trial costing the prosecution a reported 20 million dollars in resources.
I saw Jason Lavigne on Twitter speculate that Carbert would get time served but the Tony Olyneick fellow get further incarceration for the Guilty verdict on the explosives charge.
