Blogger Charles LeBlanc Assault Case hearing delayed to July!!!

I didn't bother to write a blog post because the hearing last a couple of hours and there was lots of action in that Courtroom.

From people in the gallery telling off the Prosecutor to a citizen standing up and telling the Judge this wasn't right!!!!

The Prosecutor wanted to proceed but I didn't have a lawyer. Now? I was thinking about it last night.

Can you imagine the Blogger representing himself and cross examining River Rat Matt Myers and John Lally from the Fredericton Police Force????

Blogger’s assault case hearing delayed to July

DON MACPHERSON THE DAILY GLEANER

A controversial blogger facing an assault complaint asked a court to postpone a hearing he requested seeing more disclosure from the Crown and the quashing of the charge against him.

Charles Joseph LeBlanc, 55, of 1-145 Westmorland St. faces a summary charge of assault, alleging an offence against Andrew Spencer on July 3, 2014, in downtown Fredericton.

The trial in the matter was scheduled for July 7. However, LeBlanc was back in court Thursday after filing four different motions with the court.

He asked for more disclosure about the investigation, for the recusal of Judge Julian Dickson from the case, for the quashing of the conviction and a stay of proceedings due to an alleged abuse of process.

However, duty counsel Angèle Normand told Judge Brian McLean that Le-Blanc wasn’t prepared to go through the hearing.

She said he doesn’t have defence counsel and feels he needs a lawyer.

LeBlanc said Legal Aid New Brunswick denied his application April 23 and that he filed appeal papers Monday.

“I’ve had no response yet,”he said.

Crown prosecutor Sebastien Michaud opposed the request for the adjournment.

LeBlanc has not only known about the hearing date for a couple of months, he said, but even had a countdown clock on his blog, detailing the approaching hearing date.

“We have witnesses here. We’re prepared to proceed today,” Michaud said, noting four police officers – two from Miramichi and two from Fredericton.

The prosecutor told the court LeBlanc is dragging out the case longer than is necessary.

“These are not delay tactics,”the blogger and social activist told the court.

Michaud said there was another issue for the court to address in addition to LeBlanc’s motions.

He said through correspondence, the defendant has asserted his intention to publish on his blog the disclosure he received from the Crown.

The prosecutor said that material is provided conditionally to allow LeBlanc to make full answer and defence to the charge, and that the defendant had signed an agreement when he received the materials not to disseminate them.

Michaud asked the court for an order prohibiting LeBlanc from publishing or broadcasting the material.

Order Re Disclosure by Charles LeBlanc

LeBlanc told the court when he met with Michaud in January to receive the disclosure and when the prosecutor explained to him the conditions, Michaud was intimidating him.

Due to that and his attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, the defendant said, he didn’t know what he was signing. He said he just wanted to get his disclosure to learn what the Crown was alleging was the case against him.

“I don’t remember what I signed,” he said.

McLean granted the order.

He also granted LeBlanc’s request for an adjournment of the motions hearing, noting he didn’t know if the defendant would get counsel, but it would definitely be in his best interest to allow him all reasonable opportunities to do so.

The judge set the motions over to July 7 to be heard, which is when the trial was to be held. This development, he noted, obviously will require the trial to be postponed.

McLean noted he wouldn’t hear Le-Blanc’s motion for Dickson to recuse himself from hearing the case. He said case law is clear such a motion is to be heard by the judge in question.

Furthermore, McLean said, it’s not known yet which provincial court judge will hear the trial, so there’s no point in asking Dickson to recuse himself if he’s not presiding over the trial in the first place.

The judge warned LeBlanc whether he has counsel, the other three motions will be heard July 7.

“I cannot delay this any longer,” Mc-Lean said, noting a new trial would be set July 7 if LeBlanc’s motions to scuttle the case are unsuccessful.
