(Canadian Press) The crown is seeking a life sentence for a teenager who pleaded guilty to terrorism-related charges including possession of explosive material and counselling someone to detonate a bomb.
The youth admitted to the charges, as well as violating his bail conditions, last July in the Ontario Court of Justice.
He cannot be publicly identified under terms of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
During a hearing Wednesday, the crown asked that the teenager be sentenced as an adult.
The Kingston, Ont., teen’s lawyer, Sean Ellacott, said a youth sentence of three years would be sufficient to hold him accountable.
