Arvaluk appeals new trial order
Nanulik MLA James Arvaluk
and his Yellowknife lawyer Peter Fuglsang have launched an appeal to overturn
Crowns request for a new trial in a case involving Arvaluk and his former
girlfriend.
Arvaluk was found not guilty
of assault causing bodily harm against Sophie Sangoya last summer. On March
7, Justice John Richard overturned the ruling and ordered a new trial.
The matter went before
judge Beverly Browne on April 8 and was adjourned until May 6.
