And the magistrate chastised the guy for his terrible attitude during the case. Keeping in mind that the other accused was having heaps of praise lavished over him for the way he responded.
Plus the victim denies receiving the apology.
Look, I get redemption, I think it would be good if Mitchell did end up redeeming himself and learning and growing and I think we should probably give him that ability. But there's nothing to indicate that he has redeemed himself or that this was a single stupid mistake, unlike his accomplice. Your posts are pretty baseless.

So if this kid was allowed by his parents to bully this child from the age of 7 to 14 what kind of upbringing did the kid have that this was considered acceptable. It sounds like his parents and the education system failed both these kids. Kids are taught to be bullies, his bulling behaviour and personality likely served him well in many levels of hockey. His hockey skill likely allowed his behaviour to continue without anyone intervening.
A kid a 14 who ends up with a criminal record for this type of abuse is a product of a failed system. Did his parents encourage the behaviour or were they abusive?
