Mistrial declared in Vader case on drug and gun charges
A mistrial has been declared in a case that saw Travis Vader convicted of eight drug and firearm-related convictions, after it was learned that full disclosure was not given to his defence.
Vader, 40, was convicted earlier this year of stealing a truck, possession of an illegal revolver and trafficking methamphetamines around the Barrhead area in June 2010. He was scheduled to be sentenced in September, before it came to light that two witness statements connected to the case has not been given to Vaders defence lawyer.
At that time, Crown prosecutor Michelle Doyle said statements from two witnesses had indeed not been handed over.
