Fraud suspect no-show in court for 3rd time
Judge issues arrest warrant for Amanda Jayne Martin, 41, who’s accused of fleecing CRA
A Fredericton woman accused of forgery and fraud charges wasn’t present in court Wednesday, and the judge noted it’s the third time she’s failed to represent herself as required.
Amanda Jayne Martin, 41, of Biggs Street, was scheduled to enter pleas in Fredericton provincial court Wednesday to Dec. 31, 2023, counts of using a forged cheque belonging to Amal Bensaleh and defrauding the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) of less than $5,000.
Defence counsel Michael Mallory was on hand in court when her case was called, but Martin wasn’t present.
