CALGARY — A Calgary judge has ruled key testimony from British Columbia in the death of a starved diabetic teen 13 years ago will be admitted as evidence.
Emil Radita, who is 59, and his wife Rodica Radita, who is 53, are charged with first-degree murder in the 2013 death of their 15-year-old son.
Alexandru Radita, who was one of eight children, weighed less than 37 pounds and died of complications in Calgary due to untreated diabetes and starvation.
Alberta Justice Karen Horner has ruled that evidence regarding Alexandru's care while living in British Columbia, where he was hospitalized with malnutrition and untreated diabetes, can make up part of the Crown's case.
The Crown has now completed its case against the Raditas.
The trial is adjourned until this fall but a date for its continuation won't be determined until August 19.
