US EditionGirl who pleaded guilty to manslaughter in fatal swarming attack sentenced to probation
- A 16-year-old girl pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the December 2022 deadly group attack on homeless man Kenneth Lee in a Toronto parkette.
- The girl and seven other girls, aged 13 to 16, were charged with second-degree murder after police arrested them following security footage of the swarming attack.
- In February, during a judge-only trial, the teen unexpectedly changed her plea while the Crown dismissed her offer of manslaughter, with the video of the fatal assault playing a critical role in the case.
- The judge sentenced her to 15 months probation, considering 288 days in custody and six unlawful strip searches, in a sentence jointly agreed by Crown and defence.
- The judge stated the sentence balances her role in the assault and future prospects while the girl apologized and committed to counseling with no contact with co-accused.
