It could be over a year before a Greater Madawaska woman goes on trial for charges related to a fatal crash in 2017. The lawyer for Ann Senack made an appearance at the Pembroke courthouse today (Feb. 13th). Senack is facing two counts each of criminal negligence causing death and bodily harm.
She is accused of serving four underage Renfrew Timberwolves players before they were involved in a fatal crash in October of 2017. Hockey teammates Brandon Hanniman and Alex Paquette were killed and Ben Scheuneman and Jake McGrimmon were seriously injured.
The matter was pushed back to March 23rd, 2020 and it’s expected a trial could take place in April of 2021 and would last upwards of 10 days.
The crown attorney, defense lawyer and judge are keeping in mind the Jordan Date for this case. Under section 11(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms an accused is entitled to a trial within 18 months in provincial court and up to 30 months in other cases.
