Cayden Tanner LeGros was acquitted of aggravated assault on a toddler after the Crown's application for expert witness testimonies was denied by the court.
A Saskatoon man was found not guilty of aggravated assault on a toddler at Saskatoon’s Court of King’s Bench on Monday, leaving the boy’s family feeling confused and outraged.The boy’s name is under the protection of a publication ban by the courts. Global News will also not be releasing the name of his grandmother to protect his identity.
She said her grandson suffered retinal hemorrhaging behind both eyes and a brain bleed. She said he was also experiencing seizures and was on life support for several days.“A kid doesn’t have retinal hemorrhaging in both eyes on a fall,” the boy’s grandmother said. “Kids fall all the time.” “The judge rejected the main doctor’s qualifications, so he wasn’t going to let her testify, as well as another doctor, as well as mom’s statements to RCMP,” said the boy’s grandmother. “Without those three things said she ethically cannot take it to trial.”
“Why was she not qualified as an expert at this one? It makes no sense. That is what I am struggling with.”
