both accused made separate appearances in calgary courtrooms on wednesday.
defence counsel brian goldsworthy told court he wanted to schedule a bail hearing for the youth.
but after consulting with the assigned prosecutor, carla macphail, goldsworthy told court it would take some time before disclosure could be provided.
as a result, goldsworthy adjourned the case two weeks after telling youth court justice diana mah that macphail indicated she would attempt to provide some disclosure before the teen’s next appearance on jan. 24.
“she’s going to push the detectives to provide disclosure,” he told mah.
goldsworthy indicated the accused would not be required to appear remotely from the calgary young offenders centre, but the teen did appear by audio link.
“i’m here your honour,” he told mah.
he’ll remain in custody until a bail hearing can be held.
matthews appeared briefly in adult court of justice and indicated he is trying to retain defence counsel rebecca snukal to represent him.
matthews, who appeared via video link, asked that his case be adjourned until monday to arrange for that to occur.
justice cheryl daniel told matthews he is under court order to have no contact, either directly or indirectly, with the youth accused.
