Man who threatened the supporters of the victims during the trial for serial killer sentenced by ‘Vil’, ‘chilling’ observations

A man who verbally attacked a group that included the relatives of the victims and made violent threats against one of his supporters during the trial of a Winnipeg serial killer last year was sentenced to 15 months of jail, in addition to the time that has already passed in jail.

Nicholas Delaney, 39, pleaded to pronounce threats in relation to the May 2024 incident, in which he approached a group of people sitting outside the Winnipeg RBC Convention Center in the center of Winnipeg. They were about to return to the Court for Jeremy Skibicki’s trial.

That group included a daughter of Morgan Harris, one of the four Skibicki women was later condemned for killing.

Things “warmed up” that day when Delaney accused an old man in the group to ask for money, then began to act in a “threatening” manner towards the man, said the lawyer of the Crown, Omar Siddiqui, during the sentence arguments on Monday.

A woman who tried to intervene by placing in front of Delaney was subjected to violent threats, including that Delaney would mutilate her and turn the parts of her body into boots, according to the court. Then he challenged everyone in the group to fight before shouting, “White Power.”

The judge of the Provincial Court Julie Frederickson described on Friday those “abhorred and antithetical threats to Canadian beliefs and values”, pointing out the graphic, misogynist and dehumanizing language “that Delaney used.

Delaney, who sat in the prisoner’s box with a gray shirt on Friday and leaned down while listening to the judge to read his sentence, also declared himself guilty of pronouncing threats in relation to another incident days after the first.

Nicholas Delaney, 39, declared himself guilty of pronouncing threats in relation to this May 2024 incident, in which he approached a group of people outside the Winnipeg RBC Convention Center that were about to return to the Court for the trial of the serial killer Jeremy Skibicki.

In that incident, the court heard that he had a knife and shouted racial insults in a walking walking of the unit, saying: “We need to get rid of” black and indigenous people so that Winnipeg is safe, Siddiqui said earlier this week.

While the court heard that Delaney was using methamphetamine and did not take its schizophrenia medicine at that time, Frederickson said there were no evidence that he showed a link between Delaney’s mental health and his actions.

“While I recognize its mental health diagnosis, it does not significantly mitigate its actions and degree of responsibility. His words and actions were not disorderly delusions or thoughts. His words were vile, pointed, specific and racist,” said the judge.

“Having schizophrenia does not explain or apologize based on the hatred of your comments, nor explains the chilling, graphic and specific threats made, or the additional racist comments made to the police when it was arrested several days later.”

Those comments to the Police arrived when asked what happened during the incident of the Convention Center, and Delaney told them that he was attacked by seven aboriginal people, saying that he offered them a job and “said: ‘No, we don’t work. We want free money,” said Siddiqui on Monday.

The prosecutor also pointed out that the day the family members and supporters were addressed, there were I just heard graphic details In court on how Skibicki took advantage of his victims, how he killed them and what he did with his remains.

Sorry

Three reference letters were presented on behalf of Delaney, including one of his sister, who apologized for his “extremely shocking” behavior.

The court also listened to the woman that Delaney threatened, who said in a statement of impact of the victim read Monday while her threats to do “bloody and unfathomable things” to her “destroyed” his sense of security, he hoped that the justice system would hold him responsible and provide the help he needs to deal with the “mental health problems and the aggression” that led to the incident.

The prosecutors had requested a sentence of 18 months for the first incident, and the time has already complied with custody, just 14 months with improved credit, per second, followed by three years of probation.

The defense had requested that Delaney be sentenced at the time he has already fulfilled custody, followed by two years of supervised probation, saying that his mental health was a prominent factor in what happened.

Frederickson agreed to sentence Delaney at the time he has already served for the unity Walk incident, but gave him 15 months for the “more atrocious” verbal attack outside the convention center, which will be followed by two years of supervised probation.

She said that, although she accepted the evidence of the prosecutors, Delaney’s comments were motivated by hatred and sentenced him accordingly, she apologized in court earlier this week as sincere and said he hopes he has given the victims “some degree of comfort.”

When Frederickson finished reading Delaney’s sentence, she urged him to take advantage of the support available for him in custody.

“I’ll do it,” he said. “Thank you.”
