EDMONTON — Alberta's top court has dismissed a Crown appeal of the sentence handed to an Ontario truck driver convicted in the 2011 death of a woman found in an Edmonton hotel bathtub.A jury found Bradley Barton not guilty in 2015 of first-degree murder, but the Alberta Court of Appeal and Supreme Court of Canada ordered a new trial.
"The panel recognizes that no sentence imposed will adequately address the pain inflicted on Ms. Gladue's family and community," the judges wrote in the decision published Friday. There was outrage because Gladue was repeatedly referred to as a"native'' and a"prostitute'' during the trial. Her vaginal tissue was also presented as evidence.
