Ciro Garofano was pushed into a Toronto courtroom Friday in a wheelchair, wearing an orange prison jumpsuit, before the 81-year-old slowly stood up in the prisoner's box and looked around. A few minutes later, Garofano, who was charged with first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder in relation to a deadly hit and run in November 2023, pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of second-degree murder and two counts of aggravated assault.

Giuseppe "Joe" Zollerano told a jury Wednesday that he never meant to kill his wife Katherine Zollerano. He drove up onto a sidewalk along the couple's Etobicoke street where she was walking on Sept. 25, 2022. Zollerano said he drove after his 43-year-old wife in his van to look for her because he "didn't want her to get away" and wanted her to be safe.
