US EditionSentencing expected today for girl found guilty of manslaughter in deadly swarming
TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, AUG 1 – Seven other teens pleaded guilty to lesser charges in the deadly group attack that left a homeless man fatally stabbed, with prosecutors seeking probation for the convicted girl.
- This afternoon, an Ontario judge sentenced a 14-year-old girl for her role in the fatal group assault on a homeless man in a Toronto parkette last December.
- The attack involved the girl and seven other teens who assaulted 59-year-old Kenneth Lee, who later died in hospital after emergency surgery from a stab wound to the heart.
- Security video captured the late-night attack and served as the central evidence at trial, where prosecutors argued the girl fatally stabbed Lee with a knife or small scissors.
- The girl apologized with tears in court, acknowledging her role in the incident and expressing a commitment to personal improvement, while the judge highlighted that prosecutors had not established her intent to cause death beyond reasonable doubt.
- The judge sentenced the girl to three years, the youth manslaughter maximum, minus 20 months credit, with prosecutors now seeking 16 months probation including intensive supervision and the defence requesting 12 months probation.
