Mid-Trial Guilty Plea Brings Three Decades in Prison

A man has been sentenced to 30 years for a murder which occurred back in 2023. Lyson Cacho changed his plea to guilty in the middle of the trial after damning footage was entered into evidence. The footage showed when Cacho and the victim Jordan Waight hanging out on Barbara Harris Street before Cacho jumped on a bike and shot Waight.

Justice Candace Nanton imposed a fixed-term sentence starting at 35 years but it was reduced due to his early guilty plea. Cacho was represented by Ian Grey.
