Trial rescheduled for Lacombe man in 2006 Eckville murder
Trial has been rescheduled for a Lacombe man accused in the kidnapping of one man and the murder of another in the Town of Eckville nearly 12 years ago. But whether the case actually makes it to trial remains to be seen.
Shayne Earl Gulka, 46 was originally scheduled for trial in May of this year, The trial did not proceed due to crown evidence disclosure concerns brought forward by defence lawyer Michael Scrase.
In Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench on Monday, a two-week trial was scheduled for April 1-12, 2019 pending the outcome of a series of voir dires to determine the admissibility of evidence.
Those are scheduled for September 4- 14, 2018 at which time a Jordan application from the defence is also expected to be heard.
