Careless driving trial delayed
5 – Excellent work
The trial for a Lethbridge man charged with careless driving in the death of a 10-year-old boy continues to be delayed while the Crown and defence discuss the findings of a traffic reconstruction report.
Lethbridge lawyer Greg White, who was in Lethbridge provincial court Friday on behalf of his client, Neil Martin Skjodt, said a reconstruction report prepared by a Crown expert is missing information and needs to be reviewed. White explained he sent the Crown’s report to his own reconstruction expert, who subsequently alleged the missing information.
Crown Prosecutor Sheena Campbell, who noted the Crown is ready to proceed with trial, pointed out the order allowing disclosure to be sent to the expert was granted on March 31, but the request from defence regarding clarification on the report only arrived this week.
