The man accused of kidnapping a three-year-old boy from his Sparwood home is fit for trail, reports the CBC.
Randall Hopley faces charges of abduction, break and enter and breaking probation. In September police issued an Amber Alert after Kienan Hebert went missing from his family home. The three-year-old boy was returned to his home in the middle of the night, apparently unharmed.
At Hopley’s second court appearance at the B.C. provincial court in Cranbrook, B.C., his lawyer William Thorne, said Hopley’s mental fitness will not be an issue in this case and Hopley understands the charges against him.
Thorne said he will not use a defence of not criminally responsible due to mental disorder in the case.
