Co-accused granted adjournment in second-degree murder case
LETHBRIDGE – The lawyers representing two Lethbridge men accused of second-degree murder, have been granted adjournments as they continue to build their cases.
Claudia Connolly, defence counsel for 19-year-old Simon Danny Scout, told the court Friday morning, Jan. 12, that her office just received “binders of information”, which they now need to review. Ingrid Hess, likewise, said she needed time to go over the volumes of disclosure for her client, 23-year-old Rylan James Wyatt Twigg.
After hearing from the Crown, who confirmed that they turned over a significant amount of disclosure to the defence, the judge adjourned Scout’s case to Feb. 12 and Twigg’s to Feb. 14. Both men remain in custody.
The two men are accused in the Nov. 27 death of 45-year-old Kenrick First Rider.
