Gregory Brotherston's judge-alone trial in connection with an alleged home invasion at a Langford mobile home park has been adjourned until April 29.
On Wednesday, Brotherston, 31, appeared by video in B.C. Supreme Court chambers from the Vancouver Island Regional Correctional Centre. He is charged with robbing an elderly Langford man, breaking and entering at a mobile home, assault with a weapon, and uttering a threat to cause death or bodily harm. The offences are alleged to have occurred Oct. 6.
Brotherstons lawyer, Richard Neary, said the original trial date of Nov. 28 had been optimistic. He asked Justice Geoffrey Gaul to schedule a three-day trial beginning April 29.
Crown prosecutor Laureen Nowlan-Card applied to the court to impose two no-contact orders on Brotherston while he is in custody. Gaul made the order, prohibiting Brotherston from contacting the alleged victim William Corlett and Karla Bratley.
Brotherston is the youngest son of former Highlands councillors Marie and Ken Brotherston.
