A 22-year-old man and 29-year-old woman were convicted for their roles in what was 'essentially a home invasion' that occurred in Blind River earlier this year
A judge had a stark warning Thursday for a young Blind River man about what's ahead if he continues committing crimes of violence.
The court heard officers with the East Algoma detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police responded to a call about a robbery shortly after 1:30 p.m.Two other people rushed in — one was masked and the other was Mercieca, who got into a struggle with the victim. The proposed sentence is at the lower end, considering almost everything on Mercieca's record are offences of violence, he told Condon.VanBridger told the court the complainant was involved in the criminal underworld and his client stole $80 in medication from him.
He never had to go to school, had mental health issues, learning disabilities, and got involved in drugs, VanBridger said.
