Canada’s highest court won't hear a conviction appeal from a former Ontario truck driver in the death of a woman at an Edmonton hotel.
Bradley Barton was sentenced to 12 1/2 years for manslaughter in the death of Cindy Gladue.
The 36-year-old Métis and Cree woman bled to death in a hotel bathtub in 2011.
As is usual, the Supreme Court of Canada did not provide reasons in dismissing the application for leave to appeal.
Barton’s lawyer Peter Sankoff says he’s disappointed by the decision.
He says his client is still waiting for a ruling on a sentencing appeal with the Alberta Court of Appeal.
A jury first found Barton not guilty of first-degree murder in 2015. The acquittal sparked rallies and calls for justice for Indigenous women across the country.
