A young man convicted of his role in the "Bathtub Girls" murder of their mother should be spared a jail sentence, his lawyer says.
"Guide him, supervise him but don't lock him up," Alison Mackay urged a Brampton court yesterday.
"He is not a violent person ... he didn't commit murder ... he was far removed from the crime.... He was party to a plan that was well underway (by the time he became involved)."
Prosecutor Mike Cantlon is seeking a term of three years, the maximum allowed under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, for the 19-year-old Mississauga man's conviction of conspiracy to commit murder in the 2001 slaying.
Madame Justice Francine Van Melle will render her decision March 5 after hearing sentencing submissions yesterday in connection with the sequel to the trial that led to first-degree murder convictions of the 43-year-old woman's daughters.
