Craig Gibson was found guilty of manslaughter in the death of Brett Sheffield , 38 .

Gibson was on trial for manslaughter following a bar fight in Toronto in August 2023 .

Video surveillance shown in court captured Gibson drinking five shot of Jameson whisky in succession.

Gibson testified he was acting in self-defence when he fought with Sheffield at the Locals Only bar .

Defence lawyer Adam Weisberg showed Gibson video surveillance from inside the bar and remarked “it’s fairly clear I don’t see a knife in his right hand” Gibson said he pushed Sheffield because he thought he had a knife.

Sheffield was rushed to hospital where he died two days later from a ruptured artery in his neck.
