Though it's unclear what part these facts may have played in the jury's decision,
It's also unclear whether Al-Hasnawi might not have died otherwise, and the charge would not have been murder:
What role should the paramedics play in the verdict?
Al-Hasnawi's death made national news in part because of the perceived actions of the paramedics who treated him.
Nearly 40 minutes passed between paramedics arriving on scene and Al-Hasnawi arriving at an emergency room. Witnesses say they told Al-Hasnawi he'd been shot with a BB gun. One reportedly told Al-Hasnawi he should win an Oscar for his acting ability. Witness Steve Ryan said they even made Al-Hasnawi walk to the ambulance himself.
Al-Hasnawi lost consciousness four minutes before he reached the hospital, the court heard. He died moments later at the hospital with two litres of blood in his abdomen.
Steven Snively, 53, of Hamilton, and Christopher Marchant, 29, of Whitby, face charges of failing to provide the necessaries of life. They'll be on trial next year.
