Convicted youth killer wants adult sentence so she can get programming, education

A woman who helped beat Patrick Dong with a bat before stabbing him six times and leaving him in a ditch outside Saskatoon wants to be sentenced as an adult.

The publication ban on her identity — a provision of the Youth Criminal Justice Act — can be lifted once she is sentenced.The maximum youth sentence for manslaughter is three years, while the sentencing range for adults is between four and 12 years. This was a prolonged and brutal “near murder” and her culpability is at the “highest level,” Pilon added.

The reports also state that the woman is still in a gang and has no desire to leave. Her pro-criminal behaviour and high risk to violently reoffend are a public safety concern, the Crown argued.

What an absolute abhor.
