CBC
A woman has been convicted of second-degree murder and forcible confinement in the death of her seven-year-old stepdaughter in Granby, Que., about 80 kilometres east of Montreal.
The 38-year-old woman was charged in connection with the death of the child in the spring of 2019 — a death that sent shockwaves through the province, sparking public outcry and prompting an inquiry into Quebec's youth protection system.
The jury's decision was announced Thursday afternoon.
The trial was held in Trois-Rivières — 140 kilometres north of Granby — at the request of the defence.
