The case against another accused Stanley Cup rioter goes to trial Monday in Vancouver. 

Spencer Kirkwood was one of the first twenty-five people charged after chaos erupted in Downtown Vancouver causing up to four million dollars worth of damage.

The twenty-six-year old from Vancouver has been charged with one count each of mischief and participating in the June 15th, 2011 riot.

Many of the nearly thirty people already sentenced have been allowed to serve their time on weekends or volunteering in the community.

The harshest punishment so far has been last month's sentence of 20 months against Kevin Mercier.

He’s a forty-six-year old man who already served six years in prison for manslaughter.

    Let's see if we can predict the outcome here !! My guess is that the judge admonishes Mr kirkwood for his naughty behaviour and gives him a time out for ten minutes. As a result of this harsh ruling Mr Kirkwood realizes that he has failed to be a contributing member of society and goes on to win an upstanding citizen award ?

    That about sounds right doesn't it ???

      @ChrisM_18 Or maybe he'll be acquitted

    Who cares any more. They're aren't punishing these people, all they're doing is tying up our courts and wasting our money. It's been over a year and a half, enough is enough.

    This, like all the others, will be a waste of electricity, powering the lights in the courtroom. Our system sucks. If this riot had been in the Watts area of Los Angeles, the guilty punks would be pensioners before they saw unfiltered day light.
