The man who killed two University of British Columbia students in a high-speed crash sobbed in court as the mother of one of his victims described her grief as 91裸聊视频渨oven into my DNA.91裸聊视频�

Tim Goerner was originally charged with two counts of impaired driving causing the deaths of Evan Smith and Emily Selwood, both 18.

He pleaded guilty last month to two counts of dangerous driving causing death.

Smith91裸聊视频檚 mother, Debbie O91裸聊视频橠ay-Smith, told the sentencing hearing in Richmond provincial court on Monday that her son was adventurous and made 91裸聊视频渁n indelible mark on everyone he met.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淚 don91裸聊视频檛 doubt he would91裸聊视频檝e made a difference in this world,91裸聊视频� she said. 91裸聊视频淚 miss everything about him.91裸聊视频�

Smith had been accepted into every school he91裸聊视频檇 applied for, but chose the University of B.C. because it was a place he felt he could grow the most, she said.

91裸聊视频淵ou robbed me of my baby, my little boy,91裸聊视频� she said, addressing Goerner across the courtroom. 91裸聊视频淚f you are remorseful, prove it.91裸聊视频�

She urged him to watch her son91裸聊视频檚 funeral service online and said she expects 91裸聊视频渢ruth and accountability91裸聊视频� from the young man.

Crown prosecutor Daniel Pruim said Goerner had alcohol in his system when he killed Smith and Selwood, and a joint submission from the Crown and the defence said Goerner should serve three years in jail, with a driving prohibition of five years.

The court heard Goerner, an international student at the university, was drinking alcohol at a party the night of Sept. 25, 2021.

Early the next morning he was driving on campus at speeds between 100 and 120 kilometres an hour in a 40-kilometre zone.

Goerner hit a street lamp, then a boulder and his vehicle became airborne before running down the victims from behind.

Both Smith and Selwood were pronounced dead at the scene.

Goerner, dressed in a grey suit, sat in court with his head down, crying as he listened to victim impact statements from those who loved the teens.

Selwood91裸聊视频檚 father, Duncan Selwood, told the court that their world 91裸聊视频渇ell apart91裸聊视频� the day of her death.

He said the emotional toll was like being 91裸聊视频渆lectrocuted91裸聊视频� by jolts of fear, disbelief, sadness, anger and guilt that 91裸聊视频渒nocked me to the ground.91裸聊视频�

He said he can barely sleep since his daughter91裸聊视频檚 death, and words of encouragement from others about things getting better or easier are unhelpful.

91裸聊视频淭hey91裸聊视频檙e all wrong,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淗earing these words makes me so angry.91裸聊视频�

He said he can no longer interact with people, telling the court that his daughter91裸聊视频檚 death will 91裸聊视频渇orever torment me.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 in this bad place because of Tim Goerner,91裸聊视频� he said, adding that any words of apology would be 91裸聊视频渋nsulting,91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频渆mpty,91裸聊视频� or 91裸聊视频渕eaningless.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淚 hope this weighs on his soul,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淚 hope Tim Goerner91裸聊视频檚 time in prison is hard.91裸聊视频�
