Mix-up Delays Sentencing in Stabbing Case
Jessie Brave, a Sudbury woman, stabbed her neighbour in Chelmsford due to a dispute over dogs.
Her sentencing hearing, initially scheduled for Tuesday at the Sudbury Courthouse, has been delayed until November 26.
Sentencing is not proceeding today.
The delay was caused by a mix-up, where the Crown and defence failed to provide written materials to Ontario Court Justice Jenny Restoule-Mallozzi beforehand.
- The Crown is seeking a 6-year sentence.
- The defence will argue for a 3.5-year sentence, minus 489 days of pre-trial custody credit.
A half-day court session has been scheduled for the new sentencing hearing date.
