ST. JOHN’S, N. L.—A Newfoundland mother sobbed Friday after a jury convicted her estranged husband of first-degree murder in the death of their five-year-old daughter. “It felt like it took forever, but we got justice for Quinn,” Gosse said between sobs, a memorial pin over her heart showing her daughter’s smiling face. The Crown had argued that Butt killed Quinn in 2016 in a calculated plan to inflict suffering on Gosse. Butt left a suicide note in the truck saying he had killed Quinn and himself to keep her apart from her mother. After Friday’s verdict, Butt faced the judge, a few feet away from Gosse and the crowd gathered behind him in the courtroom.
