Ryan Grantham of 'Riverdale' Sentenced to Life for Mother's Murder (The New York Times)

Grantham, who also appeared in the film “Diary of a Wimpy Kid,” had pleaded guilty earlier this year. He will be eligible for parole after 14 years.

Grantham told the authorities that he initially had planned to kill the prime minister, but changed his mind and at some point decided he would carry out a mass shooting, possibly at Simon Fraser University, where he had been a student. Prosecutors had called for a 17- to 18-year waiting period before Grantham could apply for parole, Grantham’s lawyer had asked for a period of 12 years, and a judge on Wednesday chose a number in between. Grantham had pleaded guilty earlier this year to second-degree murder, which carries an automatic sentence of life in prison.
