A Lethbridge judge has ordered the lawyer representing a man charged in connection with a fatal car collision, to move things along following numerous delays since the accused was arrested more than a year ago. Judge Erin Olsen told Calgary lawyer L. K. Ross that he needs to be prepared to take a step when he returns to court next week on behalf of Wesley Brian Phillips. Phillips is accused of crashing into a car Nov. 25, 2019, killing the driver, 66-year-old Betty Ment. During a hearing Thursday in Lethbridge provincial court, Ross said it’s been difficult talking with his client, who is in custody at the Calgary Remand Centre and has been in the health unit for more than a month. Ross said Phillips was just released from the health unit and he was, after several attempts, finally able to arrange a telephone interview with his client for the following day.
