Former Saint john Common Councillor and youth leader, Donnie
Snook appearing in court today to sit in on a forfeiture hearing, which
essentially decides what happens to his possessions.
The possessions in question include electronics he used to record his crimes against children.
A few
heated exchanges occurred between Judge Alfred Brien and the crown
regarding missing paperwork and a lack of specificity about what exactly
was seized.
Snook appeared gaunt and tired and expressed through
his lawyer, Dennis Boyle, that he does not want to be present at the
continuation of the forfeiture hearing on January 8th and Boyle can
represent his interests.
The Newfoundland charges against Snook have been transferred to New Brunswick and will be dealt with here on November 28th.
