Teen’s family blast killer’s deal

A teen stabbed another boy to death last year and carefully tried to hide evidence of his crime. Yesterday in a Brampton courtroom, he received a maximum allowed sentence.

Bob Mitchell of the Toronto Star writes:

… the killer, 15, will serve only eight months, the remaining part of the two-year custody portion of the seven-year sentence imposed yesterday by Justice Bruce Durno for a guilty plea to second-degree murder. The sentence is the maximum for second-degree murder under Canada’s youth laws.
