Assault charges against Montreal Lake Cree Nation’s band manager might be settled without a trial.
Mark Anthony D’Amato was arrested on January 27 for assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm, and uttering threats.
The charges stem from a dispute within D’Amato’s home.
The evidence in the case has been handed over to his defense, who told a Prince Albert courtroom they’re not ready to enter a plea yet.
Prosecution acknowledges they might come to a resolution within the next few weeks.
Otherwise, it’s likely D’Amato will plead not guilty and set a trial.
