Sahab Jamshidi.
A sufficiency hearing for the Canadian doctor — charged in the Feb. 22 drowning death of a four-year-old boy — has been adjourned until May 22.
This is the fourth time that the hearing has been adjourned.
Sahab Jamshidi is charged with gross negligence or recklessness causing death in the death of T.J. Elibox, who drowned at the beach during a church outing on the island’s Independence Day.
Conflicting stories continue to circulate the island about what happened to TJ.
Police allege the boy drowned after Jamshidi (who was there on vacation, visiting friends from his medical school days) took him out into the water on his kite board.
Jamshidi — a trained doctor — maintains that he was out on the water kite surfing when he first spotted four-year-old TJ drowning, and called for help after he failed to rescue him.
It will be determine on Friday whether the case goes to trial or the doctor is cleared of the charges.
