ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — A Newfoundland jury has convicted a man of first-degree murder in the death of his five-year-old daughter.
The jury was asked to decide whether the death was planned and deliberate, which would mean Butt was guilty of first-degree murder, or if he was guilty of a lesser charge. The jury had asked Friday to hear Butt’s testimony again, and to view a security video taken from his house. Butt left a suicide note in the truck saying he had killed Quinn and himself to keep her apart from her mother, Butt’s estranged wife Andrea Gosse.
