Defence lawyers suggests to Coutts murder-conspiracy that RCMP officers lied on the stand
A lawyer for one of two men charged with conspiracy to commit murder at the border blockade at Coutts, Alta., says the trial is “un-Canadian” and alleges RCMP officers lied under oath.
The two men were arrested after police seized a cache of weapons, ammunition and body armour from trailers near the blockade in 2022. The blockade tied up traffic for two weeks at the busy Canada-U.S. border crossing in a protest of COVID-19 measures and vaccine mandates. “You have heard straight from the undercover officers that their job is to lie and deceive effectively,” Burns said. “You must ask yourself to what extent these undercover officers have lied to you, despite being under oath to tell the truth.”
