Canada's Youngest Convicted Killer
Medicine Hat girl to be sentenced for murdering family Source: https://www.cbc.ca/canada/calgary/story/200...l-sentence.html

| A 14-year-old Alberta girl found guilty of murdering her family is expected to be sentenced Thursday. Labelled as Canada's youngest convicted killer, the teenager was found guilty in July on three counts of first-degree murder for killing her mother, father and eight-year-old brother in their Medicine Hat home on April 22, 2006. She was just 12 at the time. She faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison but is expected to spend some of the time in a psychiatric hospital. The lawyer for the girl, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, is arguing for a sentence of three years incarceration, with most of that being at the psychiatric hospital. The lawyer is suggesting she would be credited 1.5 times for the 18 months already served rather than the one-for-one credit advocated by the Crown. The Crown prosecutor is asking for a significantly longer incarceration time, arguing that the girl's pre-sentencing reports show she has an oppositional defiance disorder and conduct disorder. "The young person does not recognize that she has committed a crime, nor does she have any insight into her condition," said prosecutor Stephanie Cleary. The girl's ex-boyfriend, who is also accused in the killings, will also be in the Medicine Hat court on Thursday. He will be applying to have his trial moved to a venue in a larger city such as Calgary. Jeremy Steinke, 24, faces three charges of first-degree murder. |
I was seriously floored when I saw this! 12 years old! I was re-reading it while posting it and realized her ex-boyfriend is 24--making him 22 when the murders were committed! How do these things happen? *Thats a rhetorical question--I just am shocked when I read of things like this. And for them to say she does not recognize that she committed a crime? Unbelievable! Is anyone familiar with the story when it happened? This was just an update I guess saying that she was supposed to be sentenced today. WOW--I am still shaking my head!

I think we have a Thread somewhere here documenting the murders, but yes, that is ridiculously young for such evil acts. Then you have to think... in this day and age does evil have an age limit? Evil men are conspiring against the most innocent of the world: children, so in turn children are now in agreement with and act out evil without regret.

I guess the fact that I have two boys just a year and two older, it just is unfathomable that thoughts like that could ever have even entered their mind. I guess I take for granted the relationships we have, and they are not all sweet-I can say that for sure....but, as you said, does it have an age limit? I hope so. I wonder how many children grow up in dysfunctional homes and all they know is to repeat that cycle. It just seems like there should be some other way!
I will do a search for the other thread-thanks!
