The 23-year-old pleaded guilty in June to second-degree murder and confessed he planned to kill the country’s prime minister, Justin Trudeau.
According to the New York Times, Grantham will become eligible for parole in 14 years.
The 24-year-old actor shot and killed his mother on March 31, 2020. Barbara Waite, 64, was hit in the back of the head while playing the piano inside.
The next day, Grantham covered his mother’s body with a sheet and left the house, intending to kill the politician.
The information was revealed on the first day of the actor’s sentencing hearing this week.
