The young person pleaded guilty to second degree murder for killing his mother.
Both the Crown and defence agreed to a seven-year Intensive Rehabilitative Custody and Supervision (IRCS) youth sentence.
The only issue was the amount of credit for 688 days of pre-sentence custody.
The court granted one year of credit, leaving three years to serve in custody and three years under conditional supervision, noting the young person's significant neurodevelopmental needs and the requirement for long-term treatment and support.
