Update
A first-degree murder charge laid in connection with a 2020 homicide in Saskatoon has been stayed, pausing legal proceedings for the time being.
Jordan Rodney Gamble had his charge stayed on June 13, just as a preliminary hearing was scheduled to begin in Saskatoon Provincial Court. He was accused in the death of 23-year-old Eagleson Thomas, who was killed in 2020.
With the charge stayed, the case will not proceed to trial unless the Crown decides to reinstate it within a year. At this time, no additional information has been provided regarding the reasoning behind the decision.
The stay of proceedings effectively halts the case, though the Crown has up to a year to potentially reinstate the charge. No further details have been released about the decision.
