GUILTY PLEA IN DRUG KILLING (Canada)
The fourth accused in the drug-related killing of Trevor (T.J.) Wiebe pleaded guilty yesterday to second-degree murder as a jury waited to begin hearing evidence in his trial.
Chad Handsor had been charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder but agreed to plead to the reduced charge after Justice Perry Schulman ruled a videotaped statement Handsor made to police could be used as evidence against him. Schulman also ruled jurors could hear evidence Handsor led police to Wiebe's body.
Wiebe, 20, was murdered Jan. 5, 2003, over an apparent drug dispute. His body was found a month later south of Ste. Agathe.
Two co-accused have been convicted in Wiebe's murder while the fate of the third -- the alleged mastermind behind the plot -- remains in the hands of a judge.
A date for Handsor's sentencing has not been set.

guilty of second degree murder.
15 years in prison with no parole.
As far as Im concerned Chad, Anthony, Dominique and everyone else that was involved should spend the rest of their lives behind bars for what they did to TJ.. He was my saviour and many others.. He was always there for his friends and I know that there isnt a day that goes by that I dont think about him and what he did for me.. I am now clean and sober thanks to him for 4 years and I travel to schools all around Winnipeg and talk to students about the realities of street life and drugs.. And I always mention that if it wasnt for him I wouldnt be here today and that I will never let him go he will live on forever as the great guy that he was in every speech that I make.
