Serial car-jacker identified on live stream
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: He asked the court to structure a sentence to give Ward something to work towards so he will not return before the courts. The judge noted traumatic events in Ward's past which he had tried to deal with in "a maladaptive way" with drugs and alcohol, taking his frustrations out on those around him and "on society itself." Judge Codd imposed a five and a half year sentence and suspended the final two years on strict conditions, including two years' probation supervision post-release.
