'No evidence': Manslaughter charge withdrawn against man accused of killing toddler
Social Sharing The lawyer for a Calgary man accused of killing a toddler says his client was "exonerated" Friday after the prosecution withdrew the manslaughter charge. Winston Campbell, 46, was charged last year with manslaughter in the 2022 death of two-year-old Olivia Hayden. He had a casual relationship with Hayden's mother at the time of the girl's death. Prosecutor Rose Greenwood and defence lawyer Cory Wilson appeared before Court of King's Bench Justice Eleanor Funk. "The Crown is withdrawing this matter," said Greenwood. Campbell 'fiercely fought' to prove innocence Wilson said Campbell is "incredibly relieved," and expressed gratitude to Greenwood who he said "fully reviewed the file and withdrew the charge shortly after doing so." "[Campbell] has maintained his innocence and fiercely fought to prove that he was not the one who caused this unimaginable tragedy," said Wilson in a written statement provided to CBC News. "Not only was there no evidence he committed the offence, there was no evidence he even had contact with the child on the night of her death." Wilson said his client "will be exploring his legal options to rectify the significant harm this process has caused him." 2 a.m. 911 call In a statement provided to CBC News, Greenwood said the Crown has a "continuing obligation" to assess its case. "Following the evidence heard at the preliminary hearing, the Crown has concluded it no longer has a reasonable likelihood of conviction in this case," said Greenwood. Around 2 a.m. on Sept. 29, 2022, police and paramedics were called to a home in the southeast community of Midnapore after a 911 call was made about a toddler in medical distress. After life-saving attempts by paramedics en route to hospital were unsuccessful, Hayden was declared dead.

Keller ISD names lone finalist for Superintendent
The Keller ISD Board of Trustees named Cory Wilson their lone Superintendent finalist on Thursday night. The district made the announcement in a news release. Wilson has served as the interim superintendent since former Superintendent Tracy Johnson's resignation in January. Wilson has been a part of the KISD for over two decades, previously serving as the Assistant Superintendent of Education Services. Johnson's resignation was unanimously accepted a month after she voiced concerns about the proposal to split the district. Discussions about splitting the district ended in May after community pushback, including multiple lawsuits and Johnson's ultimate resignation. One lawsuit from a parent alleged the board's election rules violate the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Another accuses trustees of violating the Texas Open Meetings Act with their private talks of splitting the district. Presented in January, the proposal to divide the district along Highway 377, would have created Alliance ISD and divided students from schools and the community. The president of the KISD Board of Trustees praised Wilson's performance as Interim Superintendent, stating, "We are excited for the future of Keller ISD under his leadership." The board will wait the state-mandated 21-day waiting period before officially hiring Wilson for the position.

Keller school board approves lone finalist for superintendent job
The Keller school board named Cory Wilson as the finalist for the district's open superintendent position during a special meeting June 5. Wilson has served as interim superintendent since Jan. 31, following the resignation of Tracy Johnson, who parted ways with Keller schools over a proposal put forth by board members to split the district in half — using U.S. 377 as the dividing line. Board trustees interviewed Wilson in executive session before revealing their decision. The board voted 5-0 in favor of the recommendation. Trustees Charles Randklev and Chris Coker weren't in attendance. The board posted the superintendent position on May 20. At that time, they voted to only consider internal applicants. Prospective candidates had until May 30 to submit their applications. In a statement to the Star-Telegram, a Keller spokesperson said only one candidate applied. By law, the board must wait 21 calendar days before taking action to officially hire Wilson. 'The Board has been pleased with Dr. Wilson's performance during his time as Interim Superintendent and we are excited for the future of Keller ISD under his leadership,' a Keller spokesperson said in the district's statement. Johnson's resignation earlier this year was seen as an act of protest against the plan to split the district. Many around Keller vocally opposed the proposal, which would have detached schools in the eastern portion of the district — those in Keller, Colleyville, Southlake and Watauga — from the ones on the west side of 377 in Fort Worth. The split was called off on March 14, with former school board president Charles Randklev citing financial hurdles. On May 15, the board officially adopted a resolution quashing the proposal. Despite that, the board faces two lawsuits related to the split. On June 4, Randklev was deposed, reportedly for more than six hours, in a suit brought by homeowners in north Fort Worth's Heritage neighborhood. They allege board trustees violated the Texas Open Meetings Act by discussing the split plan behind closed doors and without all trustees in attendance. Former trustee Micah Young is scheduled to be deposed in the same case on June 11. Young did not seek reelection in May for his board seat.
