Says 310 – A powerful example of injustice and a failed system

<Quote> A man accused of killing two Newfoundlanders and seriously injuring another in a 2015 crash in Leduc, Alta., has been found not guilty.

Bobby Bartlett was acquitted in November of two counts of dangerous driving causing death, and three counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm.

After three days of evidence, the “trial judge” found that the Crown had not met the burden of proof.

Other charges stayed…….

Bartlett had also been charged with two counts of impaired driving causing death, three counts of impaired driving causing bodily harm, and related charges.

But in June, those charges were stayed.

“The Crown” said there was no “reasonable likelihood of conviction.” <end quote>
