A plea deal described by a judge as “wholly inadequate” may end up taking place after all.
Jeremy Glenfield faces charges including dangerous driving causing death, impaired driving causing death and other offences.
His case has been before the courts since December 2011, when his vehicle allegedly ran a stop sign and crashed into a family minivan, at the intersection of Nafziger and Gerber roads.
Jeremy Huber, 11, died as a result of the crash.
Monday, Justice Peter Hambly was presented with an arrangement – supported by the Crown, Glenfield’s lawyer and Huber’s parents – which would have seen the charge of impaired driving causing death dropped.
If that happened, Glenfield would have pleaded guilty to the other offences and been sentenced to 27 months in prison, starting in September.
The case returned to court Thursday, with the same scenario being presented to Justice Patrick Flynn, who said he would permit the deal.
An explanation of why this process took place is expected later this month.
