The youth offender, convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced as an adult, appeared for a mandatory annual review of his sentence under s. 94(9) of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
Both the Crown and defence agreed the sentence should be confirmed.
The court confirmed the sentence but noted the youth's inability to access rehabilitative programming since being transferred to an adult provincial correctional centre.
To ensure efforts are made to provide programming, the court ordered a further review under s. 94(4) and directed probation and social work staff to provide updated reports and attend the next hearing.
