Mother of Altinger, Elfriede, began to cry.
It said in its impact of the victim that she cannot allow itself to think about the pain and horror that his son must have endured.
She wrote that she wished that the sentence of death on Twitchell, but she wants him to reflect on what he had done and "die a slow death every day of his life."
Justice Terry Clackson thanked the jury and offers counselling services to those who thought that they needed.
"This has been a very difficult matter, even for some of us who are in this business for a long time," said Clackson. "You have been sto?cien."
Through the trial, the jury heard 18 days of testimony and seen 111 exhibitions.
"I have always had one side dark, that I had to beautify the world."-A profile of a psychopath.
But the jury has not shown a single document discovered on a laptop of Twitchell. The trial of seven pages, called a profile of a psychopath, had been deleted. The document was never admitted to the trial as "psychopath" is a medical term and Twitchell is not a doctor.
In it, the author believes that the investigators to be Twitchell, analyzes his own personality and behaviour. The author then admitted that he is not perfectly fit the description of a psychopath, he is a pathological liar.
"I've lied usually all my life," he wrote. "Despite my family life incredibly well adjusted and in good health and education, it never stopped."
I always apologized, but never meant it and never corrected behaviour. ?
The author also stated that he never felt empathy.
"As long as I remember that I have always had a lack of empathy, I have always had a dark side I had to beautify the world.".
Mark Twitchell demonstrated in an interview with the CBC in 2007. CBC he was to write, "on my journey to discover my disorder, I discovered my killer instinct."
"I've often fantasized to kill people who have made the wrong to me or threatened to do harm to me or my family in the future, but that is where it ends."
Carry out a murder, he said, is not defined.
"I don't feel that someone of another life is worth the loss of my freedom or the amount of time, energy or a expenditure need put in, to conduct such acts.".
The other major consideration is his work, he said.
"I can direct my dark energies in my film work.".
"As a producer I can take advantage of the sale and distribution of my work.". "But as a serial killer that nothing would get more than a quick rush of adrenaline and a prison sentence to follow".
But in other ways the author does not match the profile of a serial killer, he said.
"I do con step or prey on my friends or family members.". I never ill animals as a child. ?
But he admitted to regularly cheat on his wife, he describes as "an excellent mother to our children and the largest partner than any who could never ask".
"I always cheat, but only for the thrill," he said.
Once, he tried to be completely honest with his wife, he said.
"I had a conversation with my wife a night where we explored my lack of empathy," he said. "She asked me a variety of questions." Each response I, although the truth was this time, were deeply disappointing for him. "Not after when it sought Yes after Yes."
For the television series Dexter Twitchell fondness was well documented in the trial, and he had a Facebook profile under the name of protagonist Dexter Morgan, a vigilante serial killer.
Twitchell had claimed, attracted to Altinger in the garage to create buzz for a short film about a killer from Dexter-like online, that it has produced two weeks earlier in the garage, and called a House of cards.
He testified when Altinger became angry hand is an idiot and assaulted, he beat and stabbed in self-defence.
