The Crown will not appeal Mark Stobbe’s acquittal on charges of murdering his wife Beverly Rowbotham.
In a statement released by email this morning, the Crown said that, “A review conducted by British Columbia and Manitoba prosecutors has concluded that there are no grounds meeting the necessary legal standard to pursue an appeal of the acquittal of Mark Stobbe.
“The legal standard for the Crown to bring an appeal is a legal error on a question of law arising during the trial that reasonably could have had a material impact on the decision made by the jury. The review found that no legal error could be established. Accordingly, an appeal will not be taken of the acquittal of Mr. Stobbe.
“Manitoba Prosecution Service will not be making further comment on the matter.”
The 54-year-old Stobbe was acquitted late last month in the slaying of his wife in 2000.
