Chris Barber, Tamara Lich not guilty on most charges for roles in 2022 convoy protests
Original headline: Chris Barber, Tamara Lich found guilty of mischief for roles in Freedom Convoy
Crown prosecutors have signalled they would seek jail time; the maximum penalty for mischief is ten years. The two are expected to be sentenced later this year.
(same source as OP has)
CBC didn't say anything about possible sentences, but I found a city news piece from 2022 that talks about mischief. It isn't very useful though:
Kicking a wall could result in a fine, while mischief to a war memorial or blocking significant portions of downtown could see up to 10 years of jail time, Toronto criminal lawyer Karen McArthur said.
In the most severe cases the maximum sentence is life imprisonment, Peters said.
So, they could be looking at anything from a fine to lifetime imprisonment?
Mischief is essentially a charge for property damage but there are special categories of it, one of which covers monuments/memorials specifically. Churches are another one.
Great! It's good to not make the same mistakes Murica does.
Gotta love how they try to hide the guilty verdict on some counts behind "not guilty of most"
The headline I posted was the headline at the time - the other verdicts hadn't come in yet.
