Today the jury found ly guilty of second-degree murder in the death of his mother after one day of deliberation. Tien ly's remains were found in garbage bags in march 2022. Dallas ly admitted to stabbing his mother to death and that his mother threatened to kill him. Cbc court reporter was in the courtroom throughout the trial. I sat down to unpack the case and hear her firsthand account of how it all played out in court. >> A warning some of the details are disturbing. >> This is a case that made a lot of headlines, particularly because of how gruesome it was. Can you take it back to how it all began? It began with a shocking discovery. >> The day was march the 8th, 2022. A woman heading to a grocery store found garbage bags she believed contained body parts. Police didn't know who this person was. It was a woman. She had no identification on her. There was an investigation. They became stumped at that point. And that day earlier in the day, at a nail shop at davenport and yonge, a manicureist went into a shop where she worked. Tien ly did not arrive for work. She didn't arrive. He became concerned. He saw her cell phone in the salon. He tried to call her son, dallas. No one was answering. There were a lot of concerns at that time about the disappearance of tien ly. The next day, police in an attempt to try to identify this woman released images of her fingernails that contained a very distinct design. It was green, black and white. It was described as nail art and released it to the public with the hope that someone might recognize it. Within 24 hours, that manicurist who was concerned about the owner not returning tien ly believed that it could have been her because he recognized the design and reported what he found to police. >> Kelda: and a pretty unusual move, police releasing these images of her fingernails. That worked. Police now had a name, tien ly. What happens next? >> They go to her address. They find the door open. And they see what appeared to be a very bloody crime scene. Immediately they're very concerned. They cannot find their son dallas ly. Initially they thought he might be a victim as well. They were looking for him. Not too long after, they realized that he, in fact, was the main suspect in the death of his mother. >> Kelda: and investigators were able to find a lot of forensic evidence that traced them to dallas ly being the main suspect. This was all presented in his trial which started three weeks ago. Can you go through some of the forensic evidence that was presented in court. >> Reporter: kelda, there was a lot of forensic evidence. It started with a hunting knife. They determined that tien ly's blood was on the hunged knife. It was on a pair of track pants as well as a hammer in the condo. They started to go through the evidence that they found. They used a chemical to try to lift some of the spots where blood may have been. They found that there was blood in the hallways and blood cleaned up, an attempt to clean it up. They realized that, in fact, this may have been where tien ly had been dragged and her body had been dismemorandum -- dismembered. They were able to track video surveillance that showed tien ly arriving back at the condo just after 8 o'clock. And then she arrives. You can see her going up the

elevator and that's the last time she is seen alive. The next time we see someone emerging from the condo is midnight. And that is dallas ly where he is carrying -- pulling a buggy with garbage bags in it that the police determined were did remains of his mother. The video captures him running down, walking with this buggy down carlaw avenue. He turns east on eastern avenue, and he gets to berkshire street. He testified in court that at that point, the buggy hit a curb and the bag started to fall out, and he left his mother's remains there. But his intention was to go to tommy thompson park and drop her remains in lake ontario, but he never got that far. >> Kelda: at some point, he tried to leave the country. >> He made many attempts to leave the country in just a few days. He was arrested april 2nd. Before that, he went to pearson airport, had bought a ticket to the united states, was hoping to leave the country, eventually go to vietnam. When he got to the airport, the U.S. immigration officials say where is your return ticket? They wanted to know when he was coming back. They denied him entry. He left the airport, took an uber to niagara falls to try a land border crossing. With computers, the U.S. officials say we had seen that dallas ly had been turned away at pearson for trying to enter the country. They denied him entry again. He bought a ticket to vancouver but then realized he wasn't going to go ahead with that. He knew that taking flight at this time, police are already looking for him. That might not work out for him as well. >> Kelda: really tried to dodge authorities at this point. He admitted to killing his mom. This is not disputed. He has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder. What's his defence? Can we got into that? >> Dallas ly suffered severe abuse at the hands of his mother. In closing arguments last week, his lawyers asked the jury to believe his testimony and find him not guilty and acquit him. This homicide happened in a moment of overwhelming fear of what might follow. He was planning to leave his mother and the condo where they lived. He wanted to finally break that cycle of abuse. And he had made that decision, he said. And the defence told the jury dallas's response was completely reactionary as a result of a lifetime of abuse and that tien ly was a cruel mother to him, controlling him, never let him go on trips as other young people had been able to go on. Ly said his mother was critical for not getting good grades. There was a lot of pressure. She was very ambitious and expected a lot out of her son. He dropped out of high school and called him stupid and lazy and beat him with her fist at times and also with this instrument, a back scratcher that had a sharpened end. When she hit him, it had left red scars on his back. The jury was able to see an image of those scars when he testified. >> Kelda: you were there during his testimony. You watched him on the witness box. Was he emotional? What did he seem like? >> He was a very soft spoken quiet young man. He's dressed in a suit. Very unassuming. And he started talking. He would be asked to speak up so the court could hear him. And when he started recalling what his mother would say to him that made him so fearful, he spoke in vietnamese and was shouting throughout the courtroom. It was very unexpected because he is so soft spoken. Then when he would translate for the court what he had just said, he would go back to his normal voice. That was certainly a moment. What he was saying is that he was working long hours in the nail salon in reception in a job he really didn't like. He wanted to switch careers. He was going to a youth employment service and hoping to get into the culinary field. The day of the stabbing, he wanted to work on a résumé to try to submit so he could move on and try something else. And his mother asked him to come
