I DON’T CONSENT OR AGREE TO ANY OF THESE PROCEEDINGS.

Boisjoli is scheduled to go to trial in April on one count of failing to comply with a probation order and one count of intimidating a justice system participant after he allegedly launched a legal campaign against a peace officer who issued him a speeding ticket.

When Edmonton police charged the Vegreville man, it was the first time any Canadian police force had filed an intimidation charge related to unlawful paperwork.

Sanderman said Tuesday he had scheduled the case management hearing because he wanted to discuss the fact that the trial is to be heard by a jury.

In Canada, an accused person has the opportunity to elect whether they want to be tried by judge and jury, or judge alone.

If the accused refuses to enter an election — as Boisjoli has — the trial automatically goes to a jury.

Sanderman tried to broach the subject, but Boisjoli repeatedly interrupted, citing an application he filed with the court that argues the charges should be quashed because the Crown prosecutor lacks jurisdiction, cause of action and standing.

At one point during the exchange with Sanderman, Boisjoli announced he would file a complaint with the province’s Judicial Council against the judge.

“You’re a very rude man,” Sanderman said.

“It’s not against the law to be rude,” Boisjoli shot back.

The judge agreed that it isn’t, and ended the hearing a short while later.

Jury selection for the trial is scheduled for April 5, and the weeklong trial is expected to begin April 9.
