A Toronto woman accused of throwing a chair off a downtown high-rise balcony has pleaded guilty to mischief causing danger to life.
19-year old Marcella Zoia made the plea in a packed Toronto courtroom this morning, acknowledging she was the woman seen in a video that went viral in February.
A sentencing hearing has been scheduled for Jan. 14.
Crown prosecutors say they will seek a six-month prison sentence in the case.
Zoia's lawyer, Greg Leslie, said he would seek a suspended sentence, saying six months in prison was too harsh for a woman his client's age.
Leslie said he expected two other charges against Zoia in the incident would be dropped.
