A day of expected evidence in the Coutts blockade conspiracy trial was replaced by legal discussions behind closed doors.

A jury will hear evidence in the trial of Anthony Olienick and Chris Carbert, accused of conspiracy to commit murder during the 2022 Coutts border protest. The charges stem from a cache of weapons and ammunition found in trailers in the protest encampment. In addition to the murder conspiracy charge, the defendants face charges of mischief and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. Crown prosecutors plan to present 23 witnesses, primarily RCMP officers. The trial is expected to continue until mid-July.
