That is probably just ignorance on the part of the journalist. A trial let alone a sentence is highly unlikely in this case. The child will probably do community service or extra homework. (Although, I am not a lawyer and Quebec does have its own laws, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.)
- sliverstorm 13y agoWould community service not be a sentence?
- eliteraspberrie 13y agoNot necessarily. The prosecutor can withdraw charges (edit: that is, prior to a trial) if they come to an agreement with a defendant, at the discretion of the judge. It is a way of expediting cases where a trial benefits no one.
