GIST: "A three-week retrial is set to begin Monday at Court of Queen’s Bench for former forensic psychiatrist Dr. Aubrey Levin for allegedly sexually molesting two of his patients.........The trial involves two of four counts of sexual assault that resulted in a hung jury following Levin’s first trial. The two other counts were subsequently stayed by the Crown. Levin, 74, who conducted court-ordered assessments on accused persons and wrote reports for court proceedings, was convicted on three counts of sexual assault and sentenced to five years in prison, He was acquitted on two others.........Levin appealed the three convictions and the arguments were heard last October, but the Alberta Court of Appeal has not yet ruled."
