Trial dates set

Two trials set following summer CP dust-up

Trial dates have been set for the man and woman charged in connection with the May 26, 2007 altercation at the Centretown Pub on Somerset St.

Andrew Lefebvre, 25, will appear in court Nov 4 to face the charge of aggravated assault. Sheri-Lee Rand, 29, is slated to appear in court on Jun 18 to face a lesser charge of assault causing bodily harm.

Rand and Lefebvre first appeared at the Elgin St courthouse in Jul 2007.

Last summer, Capital Xtra reported that drag personality Dixie Landers, whose given name is Michael Marcil, spent time in hospital following the incident. She was admitted with a fractured skull and broken bones, and spent several days in a coma.
