I was thinking the same thing. The reporter is either:

a) ignorant of case law regarding the death penalty, or
b) lying to generate sympathy for the little thug.

I’m voting “b”

Yeah. And now one of them is a [possibly] good looking corpse.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

And most likely reared with NO moral compass whatsoever.

In Hollywood, anything is possible.

In the real world, as per the article:

If Dube’s son is charged with criminal offences, he cannot rely on diplomatic immunity for protection, said Adam Barratt, a spokesman for Foreign Affairs. “Dependents of consular officials enjoy no immunity whatsoever,” he said.

Willy Wonka's take on it.

You Get Nothing!

B is a good guess.

Heck, death might actually look good compared to life in prison. At such an early age, discounting getting shanked, he could look at 50 to 60 years before dying of natural causes.

Canadians are VERY VIOLENT people. I sure wish they would keep their gun crime NORTH OF THE BORDER.

The drug dealer’s name is given as Joshua Wright.

Mr. Rodriguez was “a fourth man” - probably another perp from the looks of it.

Later media reports in Canada make no mention of diplomatic immunity for the kid. I don't think he has any, he is on his own. Also Canada can waive diplomatic immunity if it exists. That would be a distinct possibility in this case.

FYI the father is quoted as saying the youngster was "a perfect kid". I'm thinking not so much.
