In a tense courtroom, a judge stayed the charge against a Saskatoon woman who hit and killed a nine-year-old girl.
Judge Jane Wootten ruled Taylor Kennedy was not tried within a reasonable time.
Kennedy was charged with impaired driving exceeding the prescribed blood-drug concentration of THC, causing the death of nine-year-old Baeleigh Maurice. She was the first person in Saskatchewan charged with causing a death while driving under the influence of THC.
Maurice was going to school on Sept. 9, 2021, pushing her scooter at a crosswalk on 33rd Street West, when she was hit by Kennedy's truck.
At the crash scene — before an officer read her rights — Kennedy told police she vaped marijuana and micro-dosed magic mushrooms the day prior.
Supporters of the victim's family yelled at Wootten after she decided to stay the charges.

But the store’s longtime operator warns that could change later this year as the war in the Middle East disrupts some food supplies and drives up global prices.
