Robert James Thomas and Roderick Sutherland both face first-degree murder charges, with the latter also charged with committing an indignity to human remains.
Family and supporters of Megan Gallagher filled a Saskatoon provincial courtroom once again Thursday.
Robert James Thomas and Roderick Sutherland both face first-degree murder charges, with the latter also charged with committing an indignity to human remains.
Neither appeared in person or by phone in court.
“That is a frustrating part,” says Brian Gallagher, the victim’s father.
He says the long court process can be frustrating.
“I think we’re somewhere close to 50 court appearances for the accused. The process, including the innocent until proven guilty, is an important part of our legal system, but it doesn’t represent anything for the families and victims of the families.”
He says it’s something personally he has to ignore.
“I don’t think it serves a lot of purpose to be frustrated it’s just part of the process.”
