Document Summary
Finding of guilt is when the judge or jury finds you guilty. A conviction only comes after there has been an imposition of an actual sentence. 1; being found guilty of a violent offence, 2; young person has to be breached of a prior imposition (violating probation order), 3; if the young person is charged with an indictable offence, one where an adult would get 2 years in jail for, and. 4; it has to be an exceptional case. Code; 718 (outlines the purpose, objectives and principles when sentencing) Will have a set time for jail. Person stays in custody, every two years a parole warden will assess the individual. Does not know exactly when they will be released, basically sitting and waiting to be released. Sentence is never really complete until the parole warden says his assessment is cleared and is no longer a threat. The crown needs to have permission from the (attorney general) of the province.
