A 20-year-old woman who tossed a chair off a downtown Toronto balcony over a busy highway last year has been sentenced to two years of probation, a $2,000 fine and 150 hours of community service.
The decision was handed down to Marcella Zoia, dubbed chair girl, by Justice Mara Greene during a hearing held via teleconference on Tuesday afternoon following the case being put over multiple times.A 20-year-old woman who tossed a chair off a downtown Toronto balcony over a busy highway last year is expected to be sentenced this afternoon.
Keating confirmed to CTV News Toronto on Tuesday that the sentencing would take place at 2 p.m. Tuesday via teleconference.Earlier this year, Zoia, dubbed “chair girl,” told a courtroom she was “very sorry for her actions” after Greene listened to three hours of sentencing submissions from Leslie and Keating.On Nov. 15, 2019, Zoia pleaded guilty to mischief endangering life in connection with a February incident that was caught on camera and shared widely online.
The Crown, who has repeatedly questioned whether Zoia is truly remorseful for her actions, is seeking a sentence that includes between four and six months in jail and two years of probation. Keating is also asking for Zoia to attend counselling for alcohol consumption and participate in 240 hours of community service.
Keating has argued that Zoia has turned the social media response to her action into a brand and employment.
