Mayor Tory has told CP24 that the infamous “chair girl” Marcella Zoia should have been jailed, at least for a short time. But Justice Mara Greene said Tuesday that while the chair-throwing stunt was dangerous, Zoia’s youth and no previous record made jail too severe a punishment. She levied a $2,000 fine and 150 hours of community work instead. Mr. Tory said the sentence is another example of the disconnect between expectation and reality some experience in the Canadian justice system. “It’s not a deterrent. The sentencing demonstrates a kind of out of touch aspect of the justice system we see time to time and it concerns me greatly.”
