West side standoff case delayed again until the end of May
LETHBRIDGE – Nearly 15 months after the incident occurred, the case of two men accused in a west side standoff with Lethbridge Police in early 2017 stalled yet again, as both individuals still have not been able to return to Alberta from Ontario.
Brian Fulljames and Forrest Jensen were scheduled to go to trial in February, but it failed to proceed because the couple had moved east and could not make arrangements to return to Lethbridge.
In Lethbridge Provincial Court Friday, May 4, Lawyer Greg White noted that both Fulljames and Jensen applied for legal aid in Ontario, and were denied. Fulljames appealed his decision with no luck.
Acting as an agent for Jensen, White also said that Jensen still has no lawyer, but is now looking into filing a Rowbotham application for court-ordered legal aid.
