CORNER BROOK — One day would not have been sufficient to deal with the lengthy facts and numerous victim impact statements to be read in the sentencing hearing for Roman Catholic priest George Ansel Smith.
When that hearing was called Tuesday morning in Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador, the 74-year-old had the matter postponed until Feb. 27-28. Crown attorney Trina Simms requested the new date.
She also told the court there is a new charge to be filed before that day. It originated in New Brunswick, the province in which previous charges were laid against Smith.
Throughout the court proceedings, new charges have continued to pile up.
