Lawyers representing Red Pheasant council attempt to discredit applicants
Lawyers representing Red Pheasant Chief and council had their turn in court yesterday as they tried to disprove allegations of corruption during the last election by discrediting the applicant’s evidence.
On Wednesday applicant, representing lawyer and band Member, Michelle Good, gave her argument on why she believed the Red Pheasant March, 2016 election should be void due to alleged voter fraud from elected Chief and council.
Thursday saw respondent counsel Darren Winegarden and Nicholas Stooshinoff representing Chief Clint Wuttunee and several current councillors in the case, make their arguments against Good.
Winegarden said Good was using affidavits from perjurers as they have admittedly made false statements. Counsel argued their statements should carry no weight as the people who submitted them can’t be trusted.
