Canada's Most Prolific Serial Killer Found Guilty...

Slightly hard to believe article on BBC News: Canada farmer is guilty of murder

"Pickton had been charged with first-degree murder but the jury lowered that to the less severe second-degree murder.

The BBC's Ian Gunn in Vancouver says this means the jury did not believe there was sufficient evidence that Pickton had pre-planned all the murders. "
...
"The 10-month trial heard from almost 130 witnesses, including Lynn Ellingson, who said she once walked in on the pig farmer, who was covered with blood, as Ms Papin's body hung from a chain in the farm's slaughterhouse."

Not sure what kind of spectacular stunt you need to pull off in canada to get accused of first degree murder.
