The family of a Tecumseh woman killed more than 10 years ago is reeling following a meeting with the crown who was prosecuting the case.
Scott Quick was scheduled to go to trial this summer on a charge of first degree murder in the death of his estranged wife Nancy Galbraith-Quick.
But Sunday afternoon, Nancy Galbraith-Quick’s family was asked to attend a meeting with the crown who informed them that the charges were being dropped.
The charges are expected to be dropped Monday morning in a Windsor courtroom.
Nancy’s brother Jerry Galbraith tells AM800 News the family is in shock. He says the crown told them the charges were being dropped because "the evidence was too soft."
That's despite a ruling by an Ontario court judge after a preliminary hearing that there was enough evidence to proceed to trial on a charge of first degree murder.
In 2006, Galbraith-Quick died after she was struck by a stolen minivan outside of the Emeryville school where she was a teaching assistant.
The OPP arrested Scott Quick nine years later.
