CTV
The man who fatally stabbed a classmate at his Leduc high school in 2021 was sentenced to life in prison with no parole eligibility for 12 years on Thursday.
"It's almost too much to bear," Winkler said as supporters with shirts calling for "Justice for Jenny" held back tears in a Wetaskiwin, Alta., courtroom.
He then crumpled a piece of paper and threw it at Dylan Pountney.
"Rot in hell you bastard" Winkler screamed while pointing at Pountney as he stormed out of the courtroom.
Pountney, 22, was convicted in July of second-degree murder.
He occasionally wiped tears from his face as victim impact statements were read in court.
The trial heard Pountney was 19 when he stabbed the girl in front of horrified students and a teacher during a break in a social studies class at Christ the King School. She stood up then collapsed near the classroom door
A chief medical officer testified the girl died from massive blood loss from five wounds near her neck and shoulder.
