The wheels of justice are turning slowly for the Canada Day death of a motorcyclist in Langford.

An expected plea last week by Tracy Smith has been delayed for another few weeks, after Crown counsel said it hadsnB次元官网网址檛 received the complete evidence package from the RCMP, now expected by this week.

The next hearing is Sept. 22, although defence lawyer Robert Jones said heB次元官网网址檒l need more time to review the CrownB次元官网网址檚 evidence before entering a plea.

B次元官网网址淏y Thursday (Crown) will tell me if theyB次元官网网址檒l stay with the present charges, whether there will be a variation or if theyB次元官网网址檒l add charges,B次元官网网址� Jones said. B次元官网网址淏ut there wonB次元官网网址檛 be a plea (this) week. IB次元官网网址檒l need time to review the material with my client.B次元官网网址�

Smith, 35, of Victoria is charged with dangerous driving causing death and impaired driving causing death, in the death of motorcyclist Janarthan Mahenthiran.

Mahenthiran, 47, died when a oncoming Lexus crossed the line and hit his Yamaha FZ-1 head-on on the Trans-Canada Highway near the Spencer interchange. The southbound vehicle plowed into him around 12:20 p.m. on July 1.

Smith is being housed in an addictions recovery centre in Surrey.
