Confusion over counsel for standoff suspect
Codi Timothy Martin, 32, claims he hired lawyer; firm reported that hadn’t happened yet
A federal prisoner arrested after a standoff last week told a court Wednesday he’d hired private counsel to defend him on new charges, but there wasn’t a lawyer on hand in court.
Codi Timothy Martin, 32, of no fixed address, appeared in Fredericton provincial court Wednesday by telephone from the Saint John Regional Correctional Centre.
He was scheduled to elect mode of trial and enter pleas to a variety of indictable charges from last week and last fall.
