[Ropey]

Shareef Abdelhaleem, the so-called architect of the Toronto 18 terror group was sentenced to a life in prison.

Shareef Abdelhaleem, the final member of the Toronto 18 to be sentenced for his crimes, has been handed a life sentence with no chance of parole for 10 years.

Abdelhaleem, 35, was sentenced Friday just before noon for his role in a homegrown terror plot to detonate bombs at the Toronto offices of CSIS, the Toronto Stock Exchange and an Ontario military base. He was found guilty last year of participating in a terrorist group and intending to cause an explosion.

In this courtroom sketch, Shareef Abdelhaleem is seen during his emotional address at the Ontario Court of Justice courthouse in Brampton, Ont., Friday, March 4, 2011.

Convicted Toronto 18 member still believes he did nothing wrong

Oh, he wiggled and he squirmed but in the end, truth prevailed. As long as he says that he did nothing wrong, he will be in until he dies.

It's Canada. He'll be out in 5 to 7.

It's Canada. He'll be out in 5 to 7.

That's probably the truth of it.

It's Canada. He'll be out in 5 to 7.

That's probably the truth of it.

Not if he continues to say that he wasn't guilty. It's a 10 year minimum and mandatory lifetime supervision.
