B.C. hang-glider pilot pleads guilty in woman's death

Post by dhmartens »

Pled guilty, 5 months hard time.

- pleaded guilty Friday to criminal negligence

- The court heard an investigation by the Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association of Canada concluded the woman's harness was not attached to the glider during takeoff.

- A prosecutor confirmed Friday that the Crown does not intend to proceed with that charge.
