Trial set for 2023 for men accused of conspiring to murder Mounties at Alberta border blockade
Chris Carbert, Chris Lysak, Anthony Olienick and Jerry Morin were charged in February after RCMP found a cache of guns, body armour and ammunition in trailers at the protest near Coutts, Alta.
Lysak, who is 48, is also charged with uttering threats, possession of a weapon and mischief to property over $5,000. In Court of Queen's Bench in Lethbridge, Alta., on Monday, Justice Charlene Anderson ordered the four men, who are being tried together, to stand trial for three weeks, from June 12 to 30.
The Crown elected to proceed with a direct indictment, which eliminates the need for a preliminary hearing before trial. Lysak's lawyer, Jim Lutz, had been urging the court to set the trial date as quickly as possible. Lysak, Olienick and Morin have already been denied bail and will have been in custody for 16 months before the 2023 trial begins.Court has heard there is a large amount of information on the case, including wiretap audio and summaries.
