attended schools in Whitchurch-Stouï¬ville, Markham and overseas. He enjoyed drama and art, skiing and swimming and was very good with younger people. The family strained under the weight of Matthew’s death. His parents separated and several members of the family pursued counselling, Mr. Bobbett said, adding laughter has helped. What little gratiï¬cation he received came from the short time needed to convict Mr. Hassan, which he said was less than three hours. He was going to Grade ’12, 'Mr. Bobbett said. “He never quite got there. It’s kind of a loss of dreams in many “It beats crying," he said. “You can’t walk around angryallthe time." The trial heard how witness Phil Harding was travel- ling home ï¬'orn a cottage when he noticed a vehicle coming up behind him on a two-lane stretch of Hwy. 48 near St. John's Sideroad, the day of the collision. He has no doubt the vehicle behind him collided with the people on the road, he told jurors. Mr. Harding testiï¬ed before he saw the car coming up behind him, he had seen several teenagers walking along the side of the road. He alsb testiï¬ed he saw the headlights of the vehicle that had been following him go dark after the colli- sion. Another witness called in the case described seeing a damaged blue 19805 Ford Mustang near the site of the collision. Despite what he called “lots of physical evidence at the sceneâ€, which included two crucial DNA samples found on broken glass from the car’s windshield, police were unable to identify the driver following the collision. OPP lnsp. Scott Nayior was named case manager for Matthew’s ï¬le in 2006. While 'Mr. Hassan was driving ihe car every day, he wasn’t on the ownership because he couldn’t afford to insure the Mustang. lnsp. Nayior said.

Naylor “We didn’t forget about Matthew,†he said. “Nobody won in this." The car was reported stolen after the crash, he added. Meanwhile, Mr. Bobbett described the loss of a child as the most signiï¬cant a pegson can experience. _ “It changes' who you aka,†Mr. Bobbétt said. “It’s taken away from me a lot of hope for the future."
