WINNIPEG — A judge has reserved her decision on whether a second-degree murder charge should be reinstated against a Winnipeg mother accused of killing her toddler.
The Crown is questioning a decision by a provincial court judge earlier this year to commit the woman to stand trial on a charge of manslaughter in the girl’s death last June.
The woman’s lawyer argued against the Crown’s motion in Court of Queen’s Bench on Tuesday.
Details of the case cannot be reported due to a publication ban.
The Winnipeg Free Press reported last year that the woman had regained custody of her daughter from a family services agency a few months before the girl was rushed to hospital with critical injuries.
