The lawyer representing Hamed Shafia, one of three Montrealers accused of pushing four family members into the Rideau Canal and killing them, said his client is guilty of being "stupid" but not of murder.

CBC News has compiled some reaction from the key players in the Shafia trial after a jury convicts Mohammad Shafia, his wife Tooba Yahya and his son Hamed of four counts of first-degree murder.

Hamed Shafia's lawyer has applied to appeal his client's first-degree murder conviction and says the other two lawyers involved with the case will likely do the same for Tooba Yahya and Mohammad Shafia.
