While a resolution to the Michelle Hanson trial was expected on Tuesday (April 6), defense attorney Marco Forte has asked Justice Giselle Miller for more time to review a statement of facts before proceeding with a plea.
Michelle Hanson, an Amaranth mother facing charges in relation to the 2018 death of her three-year-old son Kaden Young, appeared briefly in Orangeville court via video conference on Tuesday (April 6), where her trial was adjourned until April 20 at 10 a.m.
“In reviewing the agreed statement of facts again with Ms. Hanson, there were a couple of issues that arose, and I think it’s prudent for me to really have time to delve into those issues with Ms. Hanson,” said Forte.
