Friends of Charles LeBlanc have launched a legal fund to help the well known Fredericton blogger afford a lawyer to fight a summary assault charge. LeBlanc receives social assistance and cannot afford a lawyer on his own. New Brunswick’s legal aid currently does not provide legal services for anyone who is charged with a summary offence.
The fund has raised $3,630 of its $5000 goal.
The NB Media Co-op is donating $100 to the fund and encouraging our members, partners and the wider community to donate to the fund as well.
