Laurie Sandeson, the mother of William Sandeson provided a written statement to Global News this morning:
Statement from the Sandeson Family
We are disappointed and disturbed the Crown’s use of subpoenas to keep us out of the courtroom for the entire trial period.
In March, we were issued 2 subpoenas commanding us to appear as witnesses for the Prosecution between April 18 and June 13. Under the exclusion of witness process, anyone (subpoenaed) is not allowed to be present in the courtroom until after giving testimony. We were never called as witnesses. Therefore, we were kept away for the entire duration.
The case resumes 9:30 a.m. at Nova Scotia Supreme Court.
Global’s Natasha Pace and Cory McGraw will be live blogging from the proceedings.
