The trial for an Alberta man charged in the shooting death of his hunting partner has been scheduled to begin Tuesday.
Herbert Stanley Meister of Lacombe will face charges of criminal negligence by discharging a firearm causing death and having a gun while prohibited from possessing a firearm. Those charges follow the death of 55-year-old Bentley resident Phil Moore in 2009.
According to police, Meister claims to have mistaken Moore for a deer.
The trial will take place in Court of Queen’s Bench in Red Deer.
It has been scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. and will run until September 9.
