For the past 2 weeks, Coast Guard Officer Keyren Tzib, the woman accused of killing her common-law husband, Thytis Blancaneaux, has been trying to get bail. Justice Troadio Gonzalez has been weighing whether or not he will grant that bail. Today, she found out that she has to wait another 11 days in prison for that decision.
Last week Friday, the judge had ordered that a trained psychiatrist needed to do an assessment of Tzib's mental health. The results of that would have been have been submitted to the court today, and the judge would have reviewed it to make a more informed decision. Well, the Psychiatrist from the Western Regional Hospital showed up to court today to present that report. But, instead of that happening, the judge announced that he needed to adjourn the case once again. That's because the crown counsel from the DPP's Office wanted time to review the report from the doctor and to choose whether or not they wanted to continue disputing her being granted bail.
So, because of that, the judge decided that a further adjournment to next week Friday would have been appropriate. That's when the psychiatrist asked the court to postpone a bit further because next week is Mental Health week, and he has other commitments he needs to fulfill. That led the court to set Tuesday, October 13, as the next adjourned date for this bail hearing.
Heading out of court, 7News tried to get an interview with Tzib's mother, Alice Marie Fries (Freeze). She declined, but she did note that the she is not pleased about the delay.
