Orthner sentencing adjourned for decision in Laverdiere case
One of the individuals facing charges in the Tiki Laverdiere homicide investigation is now scheduled for a sentencing later this month after previously pleading guilty to manslaughter.
Shayla Orthner, 30, of North Battleford, pleaded not guilty to the charge of first-degree murder, but guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter at the Court of Queen’s Bench in Battleford in April.
On Friday, Justice R.W. Danyliuk received submissions from Crown prosecutors, Chris Browne and Charlotte Morden, and Defence attorney, Patrick McDougall, during the sentencing hearing.
The case has now been adjourned to Aug. 26 at 1:30 p.m. for a decision on the sentencing.
