Parents Convicted in Meningitis Death of Their Son Granted Bail
LETHBRIDGE: Bail has been granted to a former Alberta couple convicted of failing to get proper medical treatment for their son who died of meningitis.
David Stephan received a four-month jail term and Collet Stephan was handed three months of around-the-clock house arrest.
Both the Crown and defence recently filed appeals.
Last Friday, July 8th, it was confirmed the Stephan’s would be appealing their convictions. That news came one day after the Crown confirmed it would be appealing the sentences for both David and Collet Stephan, which it deemed too lenient.
