The Crown has filed an appeal in a high-profile case involving the death of a nine-year-old girl.
On Sept. 9, 2021, Baeleigh Maurice was walking her scooter along a Saskatoon crosswalk when she was hit and killed by Taylor Kennedy's truck.
At the crash scene, Kennedy told officers she vaped marijuana and micro-dosed magic mushrooms the day prior.
Kennedy was charged with impaired driving exceeding the prescribed blood-drug concentration of THC, causing death.
On Dec. 13, Judge Jane Wootten stayed Taylor Kennedy's charge of impaired driving, ruling that Kennedy was not tried within a reasonable time.
Matters at Canadian provincial courts must reach a conclusion by 18 months. Wootten determined Kennedy's matter took about 24 months.
Wootten's decision sparked backlash from the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN).
