Pool’s lawyer had already applied to be removed as the counsel of record, a request that was granted.Pool and Charmaine Annette Darnel were charged after three children – who were three, four, and nine months – were taken from a home in Fox Creek, Alta., about 260 kilometres northwest of Edmonton, in June.

An Amber Alert was issued and the unharmed children and a woman were found later the same day in a vehicle near Sylvan Lake in central Alberta.Darnel has pleaded guilty to four charges and is due back in Fox Creek court on Monday.
