Provincial court judge Monica McParland showed her frustration with the continual delays that have plagued the case
Provincial court judge Monica McParland showed her frustration with the continual delays that have plagued the sexual assault case of former Kelowna mayor Colin Basran.
"There has been some information sharing back and forth between the defense and, as a result of some of those discussions, the police have actually gone out and conducted some further investigative steps," Martin told the judge. "With disclosure essentially not yet complete, Crown doesn't expect the defence to be in a position to arraign at this stage."Martin suggested a further three week delay in proceedings."My concern is that when I listen back to Feb. 21 that there was a recent disclosure request from defence and it was anticipated that disclosure would be sent to defence counsel by March 21, and the matter was adjourned.
"My understanding is the discussions between Crown and defence alluded to ...those were the discussions that led to those further investigative steps," he said. Chu said it would not be prudent to proceed to arraignment until the additional disclosure information is reviewed."You are seven months in, folks. Seven months is an extraordinary amount of time.
She told the two sides to be back in court June 23 for arraignment and, if they are not ready by then, "to expect me to be asking very pointed questions."
