Prosecutors ask Supreme Court to hear “Wal-Mart baby” case

Mar 25, 2011 | 11:32 AM

Prosecutors are not giving up on a conviction against a woman who chose to leave her new born baby in a Prince Albert Wal-Mart washroom stall in 2007.

Lawyers in Regina have now filed an application to the Supreme Court of Canada.

April Dawn Halkett was acquitted of child abandonment in 2009.

The Crown appealed the not-guilty verdict – however the ruling was upheld by the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal in January.
