A Kamloops man who threatened 香蕉视频直播渧igilante香蕉视频直播� action when talking to police days before using a metal baseball bat to beat a teen into a coma has been sentenced to seven years in prison.
Kristopher Teichrieb, 41, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to aggravated assault in connection to a beating he levelled against then-18-year-old Jessie Simpson on June 19, 2016.
Teichrieb香蕉视频直播檚 attempted murder trial was scheduled to begin on Monday before he accepted a plea deal from prosecutors.
Sitting in the prisoners香蕉视频直播� box with his head down, Teichrieb and about 30 other people in the courtroom listened as Crown prosecutor Wendy Stephen read out an agreed statement of facts, including Teichrieb香蕉视频直播檚 actions in the months leading to the attack.
The agreed statement of facts begins with brief physical descriptors of the two men involved: Simpson, a 5-foot-5, 18-year-old weighing 135 pounds and Teichrieb, then 39, standing six feet tall and weighing 220 pounds.
In 2016, court heard, Teichrieb had a series of escalating interactions with police based on his belief his neighbourhood, the area around Holt Street and Clifford Avenue near McArthur Island, was under siege by violent thieves.
香蕉视频直播淢r. Teichrieb perceived there was escalating property crime and violence in the months leading up to the offence,香蕉视频直播� the document states, outlining a number of incidents involving Teichrieb calling 911 to report suspicious activity, beginning in February 2016.
The next month, he called again, this time to report a loud party. 香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檙e getting a bit fed up out here,香蕉视频直播� he told the 911 operator.
On May 27, 2016, Teichrieb called 911 again and said he caught a thief breaking into a van near his home, noting he 香蕉视频直播済ave him a couple of smacks and then he ran,香蕉视频直播� court heard.
On June 12, 2016, seven days before Simpson was attacked, Teichrieb香蕉视频直播檚 neighbour phoned police to report suspicious activity. When officers arrived, Teichrieb left his home to speak to a constable.
香蕉视频直播淗e also asked if he needed to get his bat out,香蕉视频直播� the agreed statement of facts reads. 香蕉视频直播淢r. Teichrieb told Const. Reddeman that the next time he caught someone in his yard, he would take it into his own hands.香蕉视频直播�

According to the agreed statement of facts, Reddeman encouraged Teichrieb to contact police rather than confront an individual.
Later the same day, Teichrieb called police to report a separate incident. While talking with a dispatcher, he made a threat: 香蕉视频直播淭here香蕉视频直播檚 going to be some vigilante shit going on down here pretty soon if it doesn香蕉视频直播檛 change. I香蕉视频直播檓 telling you. This is not working.香蕉视频直播�
Court heard Simpson was out partying with friends on the night of June 18, 2016. At about 4 a.m. the next morning, he became separated from his friends while leaving a house party on nearby Stardust Street.
Simpson is believed to have been intoxicated when he wandered onto Teichrieb香蕉视频直播檚 property.
Teichrieb was alerted by his girlfriend at about 4:30 a.m. that someone was in their yard. He grabbed an aluminum baseball bat and went outside, asking her to call 911.
Teichrieb confronted Simpson in the yard of his home. Simpson fled, running 80 to 90 metres onto the street.
香蕉视频直播淢r. Teichrieb pursued him,香蕉视频直播� the agreed statement of facts reads. 香蕉视频直播淢r. Teichrieb struck Mr. Simpson with the baseball bat, with his hands and with his fists.香蕉视频直播�
A number of Teichrieb香蕉视频直播檚 neighbours called 911 to report the altercation. One neighbour said he could hear Simpson crying and see him covered in blood. Another said he saw Teichrieb, holding his baseball bat, dragging Simpson by the backpack about 15 metres along the street.
One neighbour told police he heard Teichrieb yelling, 香蕉视频直播淪tay the f香蕉视频直播�- out of my yard,香蕉视频直播� and, 香蕉视频直播淲hy are you in my yard?香蕉视频直播� during the altercation.
Police arrived on the scene at 4:37 a.m. and found Teichrieb straddling a bloodied, motionless Simpson, saying, 香蕉视频直播淚 got him,香蕉视频直播� according to the agreed statement of facts.
An aluminum bat covered in Simpson香蕉视频直播檚 blood was found nearby. Simpson香蕉视频直播檚 blood was also found on Teichrieb香蕉视频直播檚 right hand and on the knee area of his pants.
Police found no evidence Simpson had been attempting to break in or steal anything from Teichrieb, court heard, but officers did find blood stains and drag marks in Teichrieb香蕉视频直播檚 yard.
Teichrieb was arrested at the scene and remained behind bars for more than two years before being granted bail in August to spend time with his ailing father. He was taken back into custody following Tuesday香蕉视频直播檚 sentencing hearing.
Simpson was treated at the scene by paramedics and rushed to Royal Inland Hospital for emergency brain surgery. Doctors described catastrophic injuries to his skull and face and told his mother to decide with family whether to keep Simpson on life support.
Simpson remained in a coma until the spring of 2017. He has shown modest improvement since then and was discharged from hospital in April 2018. Simpson remains in a long-term care facility and will need 24-hour care for the rest of his life.
Susana Simpson, Jessie香蕉视频直播檚 mother, sat in court while Stephen read her victim-impact statement.
香蕉视频直播淎s a mom, this was every parent香蕉视频直播檚 worst nightmare,香蕉视频直播� the statement reads. 香蕉视频直播淭his incident 香蕉视频直播� has robbed my son of his future. I will never see my Jessie walk through the door and give me a big hug. It香蕉视频直播檚 unimaginable and unforgivable.香蕉视频直播�
Teichrieb, who has no prior criminal record, apologized in court.
香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檝e hurt a lot of people,香蕉视频直播� he said. 香蕉视频直播淚 can香蕉视频直播檛 change that now. I just have to live with it for the rest of my life. I香蕉视频直播檓 tremendously sorry for what I香蕉视频直播檝e done.香蕉视频直播�
Stephen and defence lawyer Jordan Watt pitched a joint submission of seven years in prison in exchange for Teichrieb香蕉视频直播檚 guilty plea. Once he香蕉视频直播檚 given credit for time served 香蕉视频直播� calculated at 1.5 day for every day served in pre-trial custody 香蕉视频直播� Teichrieb will have about 44 months of new time to serve in federal custody.
香蕉视频直播淭his was a senseless and irrational reaction by Mr. Teichrieb,香蕉视频直播� B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley said in delivering his sentence. 香蕉视频直播淢r. Teichrieb had been told by the police not to engage in his own form of vigilante justice.香蕉视频直播�
Dley called Teichrieb香蕉视频直播檚 attack 香蕉视频直播渆xtreme香蕉视频直播� and 香蕉视频直播渙ut of proportion香蕉视频直播� even for defence of property.
香蕉视频直播淗is unlawful and unprovoked attack has resulted in catastrophic consequences,香蕉视频直播� the judge said.
In addition to the jail time, Teichrieb was also ordered to submit a sample of his DNA to a national criminal database.
Teichrieb will be eligible for day parole next summer and full parole in January 2020. His sentence will expire in June 2022.
