SYDNEY, N.S. - It's going to be one more day until evidence is heard by a military panel in the manslaughter trial of a Cape Breton soldier.
Cpl. Matthew Wilcox is also charged with criminal negligence and negligence of duty in the shooting death of Cpl. Kevin Megeney at the Kandahar base in Afghanistan.
The military judge, Cmdr. Peter Lamont, had originally said that a panel would be brought in today to start hearing evidence in the case.
But Lamont told the court today he needs time to consider pre-trial arguments on admissibility of evidence, and recessed the court until Thursday morning.
Megeney, 25, died in his tent after being shot in the chest on March 6, 2007.
Wilcox, 23, was charged with manslaughter last October.
