LETHBRIDGE, Alta. — Lawyers were set to argue Thursday what a fit sentence should be for two protesters convicted for their roles in the 2022 border blockade near Coutts, Alta.
Earlier this month, a jury found Anthony Olienick and Chris Carbert not guilty of the most serious charge they faced — conspiracy to murder police officers.
Labrenz said because the accused were found guilty of having weapons for a dangerous purpose, jurors must have believed the men were willing to"engage in a war with police if it came to that eventuality."
