Crown files notice, may appeal not-guilty verdicts in Coutts murder-conspiracy case
Crown prosecutors in Alberta have given notice they plan to appeal the not-guilty verdicts given to two men arrested at the 2022 blockade at Coutts, Alta.
Michelle Davio, with Alberta Justice, says a final decision on launching the appeal has not been made in the case of Anthony Olienick and Chris Carbert.
But Davio says there’s a time limit on filing a motion to appeal and says prosecutors want to keep their options open.
Earlier this month, a Lethbridge jury found Olienick and Carbert not guilty of conspiracy to murder police officers.
