April Irving to leave jail after prior addressing “mistake” prevented her release for two weeks
LETHBRIDGE, AB – “Give me a break,” said April Irving as she listened to the new address where she will be living presented in Lethbridge Provincial Court Friday, May 24.
The 59-year-old, who is facing 14 counts involving cruelty and neglect to animals, appeared via CCTV from the Lethbridge Correctional Centre exactly two weeks after she was initially supposed to be released.
The reason given for her continued incarceration? An incorrect address unknowingly given to the court by her lawyer Bjoren Wolkmann just after one application to ban the media and the public from the courtroom, and another – to place a publication ban on the name of her surety, along with the address where she and her surety will reside – were denied by Judge Derek Redman.
