A teenager’s brain injury should be considered when he is sentenced over a deadly car crash and a violent assault that left a man permanently disabled, a court has been told. The teen faced the Victorian County Court on Wednesday after pleading guilty to culpable driving causing death, driving unlicensed, theft and possessing a controlled weapon. Kevin, who’d been a rear passenger, later died in hospital from a traumatic head injury. The driver suffered lower body injuries in the May 18 crash in Tarneit but his defence team submitted a medical report on Wednesday that indicated he had a severe brain injury at the time. “He might not have ... that capacity to weigh things up in moments of stress or in difficult situations, complex social situations,” she told the court.
