Aggravated-assault suspect seeks counsel
Steven and Soren Scott of Lower Durham - father and son - were back in court Monday
The younger member of a father-and-son duo accused of a serious assault last month doesn’t have a lawyer yet, telling a court Monday he didn’t apply for legal aid because he doesn’t qualify.
Steven John Scott, 44, and Soren Crain Scott, 21, both of Lower Durham Road in Lower Durham, just north of Fredericton, both appeared in Fredericton provincial court Monday, scheduled to elect mode of trial and enter pleas.
The father and son are jointly charged with committing an aggravated assault on Mark McCann in Fredericton on Feb. 20 and threatening to harm and/or kill him.
The aggravated-assault charge alleges they wounded McCann and/or endangered his life.
