A judge has reserved his decision on whether to grant bail to the fourth person charged murder plot Earlier this year the border was blocked in southern Alberta.
Jerry Morin, who is 40, attended a two-day hearing by video in Lethbridge, Alta.
The Queen’s Bench, Justice Jonah Kubik, says she will deliver her ruling on July 18.
Morin, Anthony Olinic, Chris Carbert and Christopher Lisack are charged with conspiring to kill police officers at a blockade near Coutts, Alta., to protest the COVID-19 vaccine mandate and other pandemic restrictions.
Oliniac, Carbert and Lisack have already been denied bail.
Crown has already indicated that it plans to try four people together and the trial date is expected to be set for July 11.
Establishment of trial dates for 4 people accused in Cout’s blockade delayed till July 11
Four of the 14 people charged in February were arrested after the RCMP found a cache of long guns, handguns, body armor, large amounts of ammunition and high-capacity magazines in three trailers at a protest near Couts.
Police allege that a protesting group was prepared to use force if the blockade was disrupted and described the threat as “very serious”.
