Another protest was held this morning outside the courthouse in Clarenville, led by a grieving father who lost his son to a drug overdose last spring.
Nineteen-year-old Lucas Lethbridge suffered a drug overdose while with a group of people back in April.
His father, Jeff Butt, says his son was in medical distress for 18 hours without anyone calling for help.
Butt is seeking justice for his son’s death, both in terms of identifying those who supplied his son with the drugs and bringing charges of criminal negligence against those who left him to die.
He’s asking for changes to the Criminal Code to allow charges to be laid.
