Teen Killers' Sentences Cut: Youth Criminal Justice Act

Published 11 hours ago
Description

Two teenagers convicted of a brutal murder in South Surrey had their life sentences reduced by the B.C.

The original judge considered their backgrounds, but the appeals court found their impulsive actions indicated immaturity, not adult-level thinking. The new sentences emphasize rehabilitation over long-term imprisonment.
