The court martial trial of a former Charlottetown army cadet commander charged with multiple incidents of inappropriate behavior is taking the day off.
Military Judge Lt.-Col. Louis-Vincent d’Auteuil granted prosecutor Maj. M.E. Leblond’s request for adjournment to allow her to “check some information.’’
The trial, which began Monday, is scheduled to resume Friday morning.
Capt. Todd Bannister pleaded not guilty to all six charges stemming from three alleged incidents occurring while he was commanding officer of the 148 Charlottetown Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps.
Bannister, 46, is charged with behaving in a disgraceful manner and conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline for allegedly making a vulgar proposition to a former cadet to engage in sexual intercourse.
He faces one count each of the same charges for making the same request to the same woman on a separate occasion.
Bannister also faces one count of behaving in a disgraceful manner and conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline for allegedly making a crude remark to a different cadet.
None of the charges have been proven in court.
The trial is expected to run at least late into next week.
