Lawyer Brian Pfefferle, who represents Bear, told the court that he is in discussions with the Crown, adding that, “further disclosure is forthcoming.”
Pfefferle said he has sufficient disclosure to enter an election how Bear wants to be tried but requested a one-month adjournment.
Likewise, lawyer Kathy Hodgson-Smith, who represents Dillon, said she has received disclosure, is reviewing it and needs one more adjournment.
Disclosure consists of the Crown’s case against the accused and usually includes search warrants, the charging document, details of the offence, audio/video and transcribed witness statements, statements from the accused, expert reports, exhibits, private communication intercept authorizations, evidence, and criminal records of witnesses and the accused.
