On Tuesday, his new lawyer asked for a further delay until the end of February so he can examine evidence to possibly file a mistrial application.
Court of King’s Bench Justice Blair Nixon expressed concern about whether a further delay would affect the administration of justice. “We’re at more than a year-and-a-half past the date of conviction and the reason I was asking the question … is we are looking now at not even having an application for a mistrial filed at or near the end of February,” he said to Crown prosecutor Tom Spark. “That’s two years after the conviction.”Spark said a member of the community could look at the proceeding and question why has it taken almost two years after Mr. Bennett was found guilty of murder to be sentenced.
“The Crown is in a difficult position of saying we don’t have any knowledge of the strength of Mr. Bennett’s application because it’s protected by solicitor-client privilege,” he said.“Dealing with the issue of a mistrial at this stage will be more efficient than letting it go to an appeal,” he said.
Criminal justice in action. Only criminals get justice. Sickening.
He needs to go to jail he admitted it
