A woman charged with manslaughter in connection with the death of a 23-year-old woman at a Saskatoon nightclub on Saturday was granted bail Thursday and released on conditions.
Paige Theriault-Fisher, 22, was released on a $5,000 cash bond Thursday morning at Saskatoon Provincial Court.
She’s charged with manslaughter in relation to the death of a 23-year-old woman at a Saskatoon nightclub around 2:40 a.m. Saturday.
The Crown and defence jointly agreed to her release.
“In this particular case, the assessment was quite clear on all three grounds it was a release,” says Frank Impey, a senior Crown prosecutor with the Ministry of Justice.
“Confidence in the administration of justice. The secondary ground is whether or not the public will be in danger with respect to further offending or interference with the administration of justice. The primary ground is simply whether or not this person will show up in court,” says Impey.
Theriault-Fisher appeared in court by video from Pine Grove Correctional Centre.
Conditions of her release include reporting to a probation officer, taking assessments for addictions programs and personal counselling as directed, and adhering to a curfew.
She is not allowed to have any contact with the family of the victim or potential witnesses, including over social media.
