The lawyer for a woman facing a manslaughter charge in connection with the death of Erika Ann Vautour says he expects the case to be resolved in the coming weeks.
MONCTON, N.B. A second person has been charged in connection with the death of a woman last March in Saint-Ignace, N.B., about 100 kilometres north of Moncton. Noel Sock, 32, who is serving time in jail on an unrelated matter, was arrested this week and charged with manslaughter, recklessly discharging a prohibited firearm, robbery with a prohibited weapon and with wearing a disguise with intent to commit an offence. Sock was remanded into custody and is scheduled to appear in court Feb. 25. Another suspect in the case, Kelsey Marie Dawn Clair, was charged in December with manslaughter and is to appear in court at a later date for a bail hearing.
The family of Rodney Levi is hoping a coroner’s inquest into his death later this year will include Mi’kmaq and their traditions.
The lawyer for Levi’s family, Alisa Lombard, tells CBC that hearing this week that the Crown would not lay any charges against the officers involved was devestating like losing him all over again. The prosecution service says there’s no reasonable expectation of a conviction.
Lombard said the family hopes the planned coroner’s inquest in October will reveal if the officers followed protocol. She says Mi’kmaq should be involved in the process and included on the coroner’s jury….and the family will be traditional Mi’kmaq “truth-finding methods” to be used during the inquest.
