Nine-year-old Baeleigh Maurice was going to school on Sept. 9, 2021, pushing her scooter at a 33rd Street West crosswalk, when she was struck by Taylor Kennedy’s truck.
Kennedy is charged with impaired driving, exceeding the prescribed blood-drug concentration of THC, causing death.
She is the first person in Saskatchewan to be charged for causing a death while driving under the influence of THC.
At the crash scene, Kennedy told police she smoked weed and micro-dosed magic mushrooms the day prior.
Kennedy's lawyer, Thomas Hynes, says said those statements "were taken in contravention of her Section 7 right to silence and right against self-incrimination."
Hynes said police didn't read Kennedy her rights before questioning her.
