‘This is a waste of a judge’s time’
Donna M. Collins, 61, of Upper Loch Lomond, wants to call premier, MLAs as witnesses at her trial on harassment charge, but court describes subpoena requests as “frivolous”
A woman from the Saint John area accused of harassing a lawyer in Fredericton wants to call politicians to testify at her trial, but the judge was having none of it Monday.
Donna M. Collins, 61, of Route 820 in Upper Loch Lomond, near the port city, appeared in Fredericton provincial court to deal with several preliminary issues ahead of her trial, scheduled for March 12.
She previously pleaded not guilty to a charge of harassing lawyer Sophie Noel by repeatedly communicating with her between Jan. 1, 2017, and Sept. 22, 2022. The charge alleges it caused Noel to fear for her safety.
