Friends of Charles LeBlanc have launched a legal fund to help the well known Fredericton blogger afford a lawyer to fight a summary assault charge. LeBlanc receives social assistance and cannot afford a lawyer on his own. New Brunswick’s legal aid currently does not provide legal services for anyone who is charged with a summary offence.
The fund has raised $3,630 of its $5000 goal.
The NB Media Co-op is donating $100 to the fund and encouraging our members, partners and the wider community to donate to the fund as well.
For more information, please read the story, Friends of Charles LeBlanc denounce rejection of legal aid by Asaf Rashid.
