The Crown has given notice that it will seek an adult sentence for a 14-year-old girl accused of pouring liquid on a 15-year-old girl and lighting her on fire in a hallway at Evan Hardy Collegiate earlier this month.

The girl appeared in Saskatoon youth court on Thursday by video from a room at the facility where she is being held. She sat with her hands in her lap, her hair partially hiding her face.
