A Crown prosecutor says he’ll be seeking a term of house arrest for a 64-year-old North Vancouver woman who has admitted to deliberately laying obstacles across a North Vancouver mountain biking trail.

Crown counsel Mark Myhre said he’ll be seeking a conditional sentence order for Tineke (Tina) Kraal after Kraal pleaded guilty in North Vancouver provincial court Friday to mischief in the case.

….

Kraal’s lawyer Martin Peters indicated he will seek a conditional discharge for his client. - "_

Judge Milne used to sit up here. Everything you could ask for in a judge - smart, very fair and a finely tuned bullshit detector.

Congrats to those who worked so hard on this. They put in a huge effort.

This isn't over yet. Let's hope that comments in this forum are civil and aren't used by the defence during sentencing.

I guess they saw house arrest coming ,and that is why they sold their house in Lynnn Valley and moved.

"Kraal - who was accompanied by her husband and by North Shore trail activist Monica Craver - declined to comment on her plea."

WTF? Why was Craver there. Not very good optics for her cause to align with a criminal entering a guilty plea. What a nutbar.

wat?

Edit: this comment now pretty much makes no sense whatsoever, given that it was a response to something that seems to have been deleted …

No offence taken. Just thought I'd add our take on the proceedings.

I completely agree. Seems like a bad decision on Ms. Craver's part.

This is just wild speculation on my part and may not have any basis in truth, but maybe Ms. Craver and Mr. Kraal were there to support Mrs. Kraal taking the faal (sorry) for something they've aal (so sorry) had a hand in doing at one time or another over the years??

Ride, don't slide.
