WINDSOR, Ont. — Guilty pleas by two Windsor, Ont., teenagers in a bullying incident caught on video have been struck down.
In November 2016, a video surfaced on social media of a girl with cerebral palsy being taunted, pushed, punched and spit on by a group of teens.
Windsor police arrested four teens and one adult in the case.
One teen pleaded guilty to assault Friday morning, but when her defence said the assault wasn't planned, the Crown disagreed, saying it was premeditated. Justice Micheline Rawlins struck down the plea.
A second teen was scheduled to be sentenced in the case Friday after earlier pleading guilty, but her plea was also struck and put over for trial.
The case against two other teens are still before the courts, while the adult pleaded guilty to assault and was given a probation term.
