David and Collet Stephan appeared Monday via video in a courtroom in Lethbridge, saying they want to take an Appeal Court order for a third trial to the Supreme Court of Canada

A toddler’s parents who have faced two trials related to his death say they want to take an Appeal Court order for a third trial to the Supreme Court of Canada.“We are in the process of filing an application for leave to the Supreme Court of Canada in this matter,” said lawyer Shawn Buckley, who is representing David Stephan.The Stephans were accused in their earlier trials of not seeking medical attention sooner.

Last month, the Alberta Court of Appeal granted a request by the Crown to overturn the acquittal and ordered another trial. Over the course of their trials, the Stephans testified that they thought Ezekiel had croup, an upper airway infection, and treated him with natural remedies, including smoothies with tinctures of garlic, onion and horseradish.
