A woman ordered to stand trial in the 2010 death of six-year-old Seth Lucas, who drove a quad into an open septic lagoon and drowned, returns to Court of Queen’s Bench in Red Deer on Aug. 16.
Amanda Ledieu, 35, of the Rocky Mountain House area, is charged with failing to provide the necessities of life for a child under age 16.
Previously, police said the boy was visiting a friend near Rocky and drove into the lagoon that was in close proximity to the house. The incident occurred on Oct. 8, 2010.
On Friday, court was told that the Crown prosecutor and defence lawyer planned to discuss the case further so proceedings were adjourned to the next arraignment date.
Ledieu previously elected trial by judge and jury. A trial date has not been set.
