Fredericton workplace death was 'preventable', Crown says in closing arguments at criminal negligence case

The defence for a man charged with criminal negligence said their client had no knowledge that one of his workers would be going back into the hole where he ultimately died at a Fredericton waste-treatment plant. However, the Crown in Jason King's criminal negligence trial said King failed to take any reasonable steps to ensure Michael Henderson, 18, wouldn't go into the hole where he drowned on Aug. 16, 2018.
