I'm more saddened by this then anything and really think that the judge has some explaining to do.

The mother of a 17-year-old accused of being responsible for the death of a 70-year-old man in a crash on Circle Drive says she begged a Saskatoon judge earlier that day to place her son in custody because he was high on drugs.
The mother, in an interview on Thursday, said her son was high during an appearance Wednesday in Saskatoon provincial court on breach of probation charges. His identity is protected by the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
She said she pleaded with the judge, the boy’s lawyer and the prosecutor to place him in custody, but he was released. He was allegedly involved hours later in the fatal crash.

Court records show the teen pleaded guilty on May 29, 2015 to a charge of aggravated assault stemming from an altercation at a bar in December 2013. He was sentenced to six months in open custody and three months in supervised custody, to be followed by 18 months on probation.
His mother said he had made strides in turning his life around since his release, but broke the conditions of that release when he started using drugs.
