Sentence in taxi assault expected

Dec 23, 2010 | 5:00 AM

After several delays the young boy who slashed a P.A. cab driver with a 23-inch machete will learn his fate, today.

The 15 year old pleaded guilty to the crime last month and will be setenced later this morning.

The violent, unprovoked attack in April left the driver with about 170 stitches and lost three teeth.

The Crown is seeking two years closed custody. The defence wants a lighter sentence of one- year open custody.
