The Supreme Court of Canada decided to uphold the acquittal of a mother who left her newborn child in a Prince Albert Walmart washroom in 2007, dismissing a Crown appeal.

“The trial judge did not err in acquitting the respondent on the basis that this subjective fault requirement had not been proved,” wrote Justice Thomas Cromwell in the majority Supreme Court decision. “The Court of Appeal was correct to uphold the acquittal.”

Regina city crews started patching potholes last week, that’s late compared to other years when they start the third week in April.
