Turcotte Verdict Protests

A controversial verdict has aroused some discontent for some Quebec citizens. After Guy Turcotte was found not responsible for his crimes, protests sprang up on Facebook.

Turcotte admitted to stabbing his two children to death in February 2009. Earlier this week a jury found he was not criminally responsible for the deaths due to mental illness.

The protests are set for Aug. 6, exactly one month and one day after the verdict was passed.

Turcotte will remain in an institution until he is fit to be released.
