Thirty-year-old Brandon Tobin of St. John’s has pleaded not guilty to manslaughter in connection with the death of his grandmother almost 2 1/2 years ago. The plea was entered by his lawyer, Mark Gruchy, who appeared via telephone this morning when the case was in provincial court.
Thirty-year-old Brandon Tobin of St. John’s has pleaded not guilty to manslaughter in connection with the death of his grandmother almost 2 1/2 years ago.
Gruchy told Judge Bruce Short that Tobin has elected to be tried in Newfoundland and Labrador Supreme Court by judge alone. Tobin wasn’t in custody, having been released on bail months ago, and had appeared in person for each of his court proceedings. However, when the case was called today, the court clerk informed the court that Tobin was back in custody. He was arrested last night for reportedly breaching one of his parole conditions. Gruchy, who is on annual leave, indicated he wasn’t informed of that.
Tobin was on parole after being convicted of drug and weapons offences — including possessing cocaine, possessing cocaine for the purpose of trafficking and possessing a handgun.
