Rioter escapes jail time

The latest Stanley Cup rioter to be sentenced has received no jail time.

20-year-old Rag Gu Rock-Gue Kim of Kelowna pleaded guilty to taking part in a riot back in July.

 
He has now been handed a nine-month conditional sentence, to be served in the community, as well as 15 months’ probation.

So far, about three dozen adults who admitted to their roles in the riot have been sentenced.

The first one to go to trial, after pleading not guilty, is set to do so in early February.
