Could the kid's lawyers claim that he is protected by diplomatic immunity? Or do I watch too much TV? (For those who watch Blue Bloods, there was an episode on that topic in a prior season)

Diplomatic immunity is conferred by the Canadian government and can be taken away as well, even after the crime, it's not a right even for a diplomat, I suspect Canada doesn't allow our people to hide behind it for regular crimes, most western countries don't.
I can't see us extending it to the kid but they may imply the threat of it to get the death penalty off the table.
