Telling a judge "I have a fool for a lawyer," a self-represented Goulais River man asked for an adjournment of his trial earlier this week so he could retain legal counsel.The 83-year-old retired broadcaster pleaded not guilty to the charge when he appeared in a Sault Ste. Marie courtroom.
When it was Hilderley's chance to cross-examine the first witness, he asked a couple of questions and then requested a postponement so that he could get a lawyer.She put the matter over to June 27 so Hilderley can retain counsel and a date can be set to continue the trial. Neal Moss said the accused had blocked the culvert three or four times since 2021 — twice with a satellite dish— and it is currently blockaded with a steel plate that has fill on top of it.Culverts belong to the local roads board and are maintained by the Ministry of Transportation , Moss said."They unblocked it," Hilderley "re-blocked it several times" and "we went back and forth," Moss said.
