Letters from jail lead to delay at Thomas Hamp murder trial

Hamp's second-degree murder trial was adjourned to December to give a defence expert time to include the new information in his report.

Thomas Hamp’s Saskatoon murder trial has been adjourned for three months to allow a defence expert to review new information that came to light last month.

The first portion of Hamp’s judge-alone murder trial was held this week in Saskatoon Court of King’s Bench. It is set to resume Dec. 17 for the testimony of the defence’s final witness, forensic psychiatrist Dr. Shabehram Lohrasbe.
