A 17-year-old offender pled guilty to assault with a weapon and aggravated assault arising from a premeditated revenge attack on three individuals outside their home.
The offender, armed with a knife, participated in a coordinated group assault that resulted in serious injuries to one victim requiring two surgeries.
The court imposed a custodial sentence of 90 days with 45 days of community supervision, followed by 24 months of probation, balancing the serious nature of the offence and the offender's significant participation against mitigating factors including no prior record, guilty plea, lengthy pre-sentence house arrest, and demonstrated rehabilitation efforts.
