HALIFAX A lawyer for one of three people who allegedly supplied ammunition to the gunman who murdered 22 people in Nova Scotia criticized a lack of Crown disclosure as the case started Wednesday. RCMP have charged Lisa Banfield, the 52-year-old spouse of the killer, with unlawfully transferring ammunition, specifically .223-calibre Remington cartridges and .40-calibre Smith and Wesson cartridges. Police have laid the same charges against 64-year-old James Blair Banfield and 60-year-old Brian Brewster for offences alleged to have occurred in the month before the April 18-19 killings. During a brief date-setting appearance Wednesday in Dartmouth provincial court, Brewster s lawyer, Tom Singleton, told the judge he s dissatisfied with the disclosure of evidence and expressed skepticism about whether the RCMP had respected the rights of his client.
