Second Teen Sentenced to Probation for Kenneth Lee's Death

The 13-year-old girl receives 21 months probation with intensive supervision after pleading guilty to manslaughter in the 2022 killing of a Toronto homeless man.

• The girl was credited for 15 months of pre-sentence custody and will not serve additional time in custody.
• Justice David Stewart Rose emphasized the importance of the girl's apology and insight into her actions for accountability.
• The girl underwent six strip searches and was placed in isolation, which was considered a significant mitigating factor in her sentencing.
• She faces a 10-year weapons ban and must maintain mental health treatment as part of her probation.
• Four teens have pleaded guilty in the case, with four more set to stand trial next year for charges ranging from second-degree murder to manslaughter.
