Bindra’s trial halts as judge reviews admissibility of evidence – Lethbridge | The Canadian News

The Crown called its last witness in the case against Sohil Bindra on Friday, when the sexual assault trial concluded its second week.

The court heard from the Lethbridge Cst Police Violent Crimes Unit. Jamie Williamson, the lead investigator on the case.

In what was primarily procedural testimony, Williamson said he was assigned the case on February 11, 2020, and arrested the defendant that same day without incident.

Bindra is currently facing multiple charges involving four women, including sexual assault, breaking and entering for sexual assault and administration of a harmful substance.

Earlier this week, as reported by the Lethbridge Herald, one of those women, who cannot be named under a publication ban, took the stand testifying that Bindra sat next to her at a local bar in the spring of 2018.

The next thing she remembered was being in a car with a man on top of her.

He couldn’t make out her face, but he thought he recognized the voice as that of Bindra from the bar, as well as from a local gym.

The trial was scheduled to conclude on Friday, but is on hiatus until November 29, when the judge makes a decision on the admissibility of certain evidence.

Bindra will be tried on similar charges next month and in January, in separate cases involving two more women.
