The Crown is appealing the sentences given to two Stanley Cup rioters in Vancouver, saying the penalties should be tougher.
The cases involve Alexander Peepre and Lincoln Kennedy-Williams, who both pleaded guilty to participating in a riot, while Peepre also admitted to assault.
The Crown wanted a nine-month jail term for Peepre but he got 60 days, to be served on weekends, while Kennedy-Williams got 90 days in jail on weekends although the Crown asked for a six-month jail term.
The Criminal Justice branch said Friday it will file appeals for longer terms in both cases, but won't comment on the specifics.
The Vancouver Police Department agrees with the Crown's decision to appeal the sentences.
