Girl accused of fatally stabbing Kenneth Lee in swarming case not guilty of murder
The teen girl accused of stabbing Kenneth Lee to death is not guilty of murder, a Superior Court judge has ruled.
The girl, who was 14 at the time, is guilty of manslaughter — a lesser offence she pleaded to at the outset of her trial in February. That admission was rejected by Crown prosecutors as they pursued the murder conviction.
Justice Philip Campbell’s decision Friday afternoon means none of the eight girls charged with swarming 59-year-old Lee will be found to have actually been the one to fatally stab him.
