Carstairs Woman Faces Serious Charges in Upcoming Court Date
A Carstairs resident, Audra Symbalisty, is set to make her plea next month at the Didsbury Court of Justice. Scheduled for September 5, this hearing will address two charges of counseling to commit murder, a serious indictable offence.
Investigation Begins
The case began to unravel on February 12 when the Didsbury RCMP, along with the Southern Alberta District RCMP General Investigative Section, were alerted to a troubling situation. Reports indicated that a female had allegedly solicited another individual to kill someone.
Cpl. Gina Slaney of the RCMP revealed that the investigation into these allegations was launched swiftly following the report. After a thorough and detailed probe, authorities charged Symbalisty on February 28 under Section 464(a) of the Criminal Code.
Legal Framework
Section 464(a) of the Criminal Code is clear about the implications of counseling someone to commit a serious crime. It stipulates that anyone who encourages another person to commit an indictable offence is, if the crime is not carried out, guilty of the same indictable offence. This also means they face penalties similar to those imposed on someone who attempts to commit the offence.
Court Proceedings
During a court hearing held on May 6, Symbalisty was denied bail. This decision marks a significant step in the legal process as her case moves forward. Details about the intended victim remain scarce, with authorities withholding information on whether the person was male or female and not disclosing who was approached by Symbalisty.
What’s Next?
As the court date approaches, the community and those following the case will be watching closely to see how the proceedings unfold. The charges against Symbalisty are serious, and the outcome of her upcoming plea will likely have substantial legal implications.
