LAC-MEGANTIC, Que. - The lawyer for the train conductor charged in the Lac-Megantic derailment that killed 47 people is asking the Crown to divulge more evidence against his client.
Thomas Walsh said today he needs more evidence to support his motion for a stay of proceedings in the case against Tom Harding.
The Crown replied it has given the defence all necessary information and that the evidence sought by Walsh is not pertinent.
Lawyers for the two other men charged in the case were also in attendance, as was the legal counsel for Montreal Maine and Atlantic Railway, a defunct railroad.
The three men and the railway are all charged with 47 counts of criminal negligence causing death after a train carrying crude oil derailed and exploded in Lac-Megantic in July 2013, killing 47 people.
All four have pleaded not guilty to the charges.
