A teen girl is set for sentencing after pleading guilty to manslaughter for her involvement in a deadly group attack on Kenneth Lee, a 59-year-old unhoused man, in a Toronto parkette. The girl unexpectedly changed her plea amidst a murder trial. Lee sustained fatal stab wounds, reportedly from a co-accused, while the girl was seen on video attacking him with a traffic cone. Many others, including six girls, have faced charges, with some pleading guilty to lesser offenses, while the co-accused's verdict is anticipated soon.
The teen whose sentencing hearing is scheduled was 16 at the time of the incident, which took place in a downtown Toronto parkette in December 2022.
An autopsy found that Lee, 59, died from shock due to blood loss after he was stabbed in the heart, court has heard.
