Defence lawyer Bill Archer said Wapass-Semaganis wanted to be present today. “I explained to her the process but she is most anxious to know what is going on. She has no prior criminal record and she is very nervous about the proceedings, which is probably a good thing.” At Wapass-Semaganis’ previous provincial court appearances defence had said a bail hearing would be held in Court of Queen’s Bench. First, a bail verification report was needed, which was ordered. A revised report was then ordered after the first residence for her house arrest wasn’t suitable. Wapass-Semaganis’ co-accused Denver Roy, 36, from Sweetgrass First Nation also had an appearance scheduled in court today. His appearance was waived.
