Speaking of which our favorite idiot David Stephens receives another blow from the courts on his re-trial

LETHBRIDGE, Alta. — A judge has ruled that statements given to an RCMP officer and a child abuse consultant by an Alberta couple charged in the meningitis death of their son were done voluntarily and are admissible at their upcoming trial.


The statements — given by David and Collet Stephan at Alberta Children’s hospital in March 2012 — were the focus of a case management hearing in Lethbridge prior to their trial before a judge without a jury in June.

Quote:
In January, Rooke refused a request from the Stephans for $4 million to pay for past and future legal bills and to delay their retrial.


Speaking outside court, David Stephan said he wasn’t surprised the judge allowed their statements to be admitted at trial.


“(Rooke) has taken major issue over any of the controversial ones that would expose the RCMP corruption and hospital corruption in engineering the case against us,” he said.


Rooke said the officer who spoke to the Stephans asked open-ended questions and made it clear he didn’t know if a crime may have been committed.
He said the RCMP officer made no threats to the couple, including whether to potentially take their son away, noting that the Mountie was “nothing but compassionate.”
