Lawyers representing Senator Patrick Brazeau have confirmed that they are planning to accumulate a powerful defence in court, though they reassured of having no plans to plead his case to the media. One of Brazeau’s defence attorneys, Michel Swanston, informed the reporters at the Gatineau courthouse on Friday morning, that “a not guilty plea has been registered and we have all intentions to contest vigorously these allegations.”.
Swanston explicitly mentioned that “we have no intention of arguing this case in the media and are appalled by the fact that a version of facts is already circulating . . . before the trial has commenced.” He also elaborated that “as for Senator Brazeau, he is weathering the storm with his family and would appreciate that we respect his privacy during this instance. He is adamant to return to his functions after this situation has passed to represent the interests of Canadian citizens before the Canadian senate.” Brazeau has been indicted with charges of assault and sexual assault, due to which, he was arrested from his residence at Gatineau, Que., on Feb. 7.
The court documents assert that police reached Brazeau’s home after it was called on after an argument over aboriginal issues turned violent, when the publicly unidentifiable alleged victim, informed the police that Brazeau had pushed her down the stairs hard enough that the railing she was holding onto broke off. Brazeau has formally pleaded not guilty to both charges and none of the allegations have been proven in court.
