Maninder Singh Gill was charged in 2010 in connection with a shooting outside a Surrey wedding, but has had those charges stayed due to an unreasonable trial delay.
The former owner of a radio station who was charged in connection with a shooting outside a Surrey wedding nearly nine years ago has had those charges stayed due to an unreasonable delay.
Atwal, his longtime friend Jaspal Atwal and Jaspal’s son Vikram had been offended by stories about them aired on the station operated by Gill, and Gill had claimed that he’d been threatened by the three men as a result of the stories. In July 2018 a three-member panel of the B.C. Court of Appeal overturned the convictions and ordered a new trial. The new trial was scheduled to go before a jury in April, but Gill’s lawyers applied to have the charges set aside due to the length of time the case had taken. His lawyers claimed that Gill’s right to be tried within a reasonable time had been breached even after deducting time that would have been his responsibility.
