A youth charged with stabbing two staff members at a Bedford, N.S., high school in March 2023 will be sentenced Friday afternoon.
The accused is a 16-year-old Charles P. Allen student who was 15 at the time at the attack.
He was initially charged with two counts of attempted murder, but pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated assault in March 2024.
Youth Crown Attorney Terry Nickerson is seeking an 18-month sentence in a youth correctional facility, followed by six months of probation with a list of restrictions.
Wayne Rodgers, the acting vice-principal at Charles P. Allen High School, was attacked the morning of March 20, 2023 and stabbed multiple times by the student, who was called into his office.
Witness accounts, which were confirmed in the agreed statements of facts, revealed that the student had been called into the office for disciplinary action related to hand-drawn posters the teen had hung around the school.
