Defendant accused of injurious impaired crash
Brandon Paul, 32, of no fixed address, accused of driving drunk, causing accident, seriously hurting three people, then leaving scene without offering assistance
A New Brunswick man faces serious charges alleging he was drunk at the wheel when he was involved in an accident that injured three others seriously - and then took off without rendering aid.
Brandon Paul, 32, of no fixed address, appeared in Fredericton provincial court Tuesday by telephone from a remand facility, where he’s being held on unrelated charges.
He was making his first appearance Tuesday on counts of impaired driving causing bodily harm to Clovis Daigle, Rebecca Myshrall and Skylar Dutcher and leaving the scene of an accident in which he knew or ought to have known people sustained bodily harm without stopping to provide assistance, alleged to have occurred in Lincoln on Dec. 4, 2022.
Duty counsel Melinda Ponting-Moore said Paul was seeking an adjournment to obtain his disclosure and to apply for legal aid before entering pleas to the charges.
Judge Lucie Mathurin set the case over to Jan. 4.

Think he was just in court this weekand plead guilty. Any idea what the sentence might have been?
