The teen who beat infant baby Nikosis Jace Cantre to death in July 2016 will serve an adult life sentence.
Judge Sanjeev Anand handed down the sentence Tuesday afternoon, a year-and-a-half after the girl pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in Oct. 2016.
The now 18-year-old’s name is still protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act as the court sorts out where the teen will be sentenced. The judge will keep the ban in place for 30 days as the defence considers an appeal.
