Ontario woman commits murder in her teenage years on her way to becoming a lawyer

A Brampton judge recently ruled in favor of a woman who was murdered as a minor and now wants to practice the law against the express wishes of the Ontario Bar Association. This removes any public fear of being represented by a lawyer who ran afoul of the law in their youth.

In his judgment, the judge Bruce Duncan He writes that when a minor serves his sentence and reaches the age of majority, guilty verdicts for the crime no longer have any effect.

The woman can only be identified by her initials AB under the law because of her murder in Peel region about 20 years ago.

The judge did not reveal any details about the murder for which the woman was convicted. However, the document shows that AB completed his sentence in 2014.

An Ontario court ruling ensures that young offenders can be protected as adults if they have completed a sentence for any crime committed during their youth. (archive photo)
