Dramatic development in that the man accused of murdering four Indigenous women has pleaded guilty; lawyers will plea "not criminally responsible".

I imagine this is, first and foremost, a degree of relief for the families. They will know without a doubt who was responsible, and not have to fear a "not guilty" verdict due to a legal technicality or poor prosecution of the case. Whether they feel "justice" would be done by an "insanity" decision of some kind is up to the families, but we'll just have to see how the trial progresses.

I've wondered in the past if the guilty part would be willing to share exact details of where the remains were dumped as part of a plea bargain. Now I wonder if this is more likely? I imagine it would certainly aid any kind of landfill search, shortening the length of time and cost.
