Youth crime: The case of eight teen girls, a murder and what we know

Guest: Jennifer Pagliaro, crime reporter

In December, eight teenage girls were accused of allegedly swarming and killing a man in downtown Toronto. This shocking crime is now making its way through the criminal justice system, and due to the ages of the suspects, there are limits on what can be reported on the crime. Jennifer Pagliaro, a crime reporter for the Star, has been following the case through bail hearings, and joins us to tell what she can and can’t say about this incident and what it says about the escalation of young people perpetrating more serious crimes in the Greater Toronto Area.
