Dangerous offender hearing set to begin for N.S. crime figure Brian James Marriott
Marriott pleaded guilty in February to aggravated assault in connection with the 2019 beating and stabbing of inmate Stephen Anderson at the Central Nova Scotia Correctional Facility, in Dartmouth, N.S.
Justice Jamie Campbell stated in a hearing that Marriott has been involved with the criminal justice system from the age of 13 and, from the age of 20 has essentially been incarcerated in various federal prisons. The Crown has alleged that Marriott set off the 2019 jailhouse violence, which involved 14 other inmates. Prosecutors applied to have him declared a dangerous offender on April 25.
Campbell will preside over the application hearing, which is scheduled to go until Jan. 27 in Nova Scotia Supreme Court in Halifax. In earlier decisions, Campbell found 12 inmates guilty of aggravated assault and one of obstructing correctional officers, saying there was substantial evidence the attack was planned by prisoners.
