Lethbridge attempted murder trial adjourned to late July

A verdict for an attempted murder trial won’t be handed down until later this month.

Robert John Sheppard’s judge alone trial began in late May and wrapped up in mid-June. The 33 year old was charged last year with several firearms, assault and resisting a peace officer offences.

It’s alleged that he fired several shots into a west side home, in what police say was a targeted incident against his former girlfriend.

Sheppard was supposed to hear his verdict when he appeared in a Lethbridge courtroom last Friday (June 28).

Instead, his lawyer had the matter adjourned to July 22nd at which time the trial judge is expected to make a decision.

I started my radio career in 2015, shortly after graduating from Lethbridge College. I have a very strong passion for local news. Proudly born in 1994, I grew up most of my life in Sylvan Lake, AB and I've lived in the Lethbridge since 2012. I'm a below average golfer on a good day, I take as many hiking trips to Waterton as possible in the summer and I love my two cats, Outlaw and Jynx, and my dog, Maverick, more than most people I know. I look forward to providing accurate, timely news coverage in southern Alberta for plenty of years to come!
