Whitegrass denied bail
Yes
A 37-year-old woman accused of killing her former common-law spouse, has failed to convince a judge she should be granted bail and released from custody while her case makes its way through the court system.
Justice Vaughan Hartigan of Lethbridge Court of Queen’s Bench denied Melissa Whitegrass’s application for bail last week. The matter was back in provincial court on Monday, where the accused’s lawyer, James Rouleau, said he needs more time to review disclosure with his client before deciding how to proceed with the case.
Rouleau said he may be able to take a step when the matter returns to court May 12, although it may only be to resolve an unrelated ticket under the Traffic Safety Act for driving without insurance.
