James Gargasoulas, 29, showed little emotion when sentenced in Victoria state’s Supreme Court.Under the terms of his sentence, he will spend at least 46 years in prison before he’s eligible for parole.
Genna Angelowitsch, a lawyer representing some of the victims’ families, told media outside the court that Gargasoulas’ sentence was “not harsh enough.”
Families of the victims filled the courtroom for Justice Mark Weinberg’s ruling.
Gargasoulas was in a drug-induced psychosis in January 2017 when he killed the six people and injured dozens more in the busy Bourke St. Mall.
His victims included a three-month-old baby who was thrown 200 feet from his stroller and a 10-year-old girl.
