Lindsay Kantha Souvannarath sat quietly in Nova Scotia Supreme Court on Friday as the sentence was read out by Justice Peter Rosinski.
Wearing a white sweater, she did not move or make eye contact with her family, who travelled from Geneva, Ill., a suburb of Chicago, to attend the trial.
Souvannarath, along with Randall Steven Thomas Shepherd and James Gamble, was involved in the 2015 plan to use rifles and Molotov cocktails on people at the food court in the Halifax Shopping Centre.
In Facebook messages entered as evidence during the sentencing, Gamble and Souvannarath said they hoped they would inspire further mass shootings in Canada and throughout the world — a reasoning that Rosinki referenced in his decision.
