A judge has found a youth guilty of two terrorism-related charges stemming from an alleged 2023 plan to kill Jewish people in Ottawa. In a verdict delivered Friday, Ontario Superior Court Justice Kerry McVey found the young person guilty of conspiracy to commit murder through involvement with a terrorist group, and of facilitating terrorist activity by seeking to acquire a prohibited firearm. McVey found him not guilty of facilitating terrorist activity by making instructional material and propaganda available. The youth, who cannot legally be identified due to his age, had pleaded not guilty to all three charges. His trial began in April, a day after his co-accused was found guilty on four charges. The co-accused, who also cannot be named due to provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, pleaded not guilty to the charges but admitted to a statement of facts and invited a judge to find him guilty. The unusual move preserved his right to appeal pretrial rulings in his case, as well as the findings of guilt. McVey concluded the youth found guilty Friday conspired with his co-accused and another individual who was not charged in a plan to kill a large number of people.
