Pigeon King in court

A court date for Arlan Galbraith, the Pigeon King, was much ado about nothing in provincial court in Kitchener today.

His lawyer, R.P. Williams, asked to have the case delayed to Dec. 28, but nothing more is likely to happen then, either, because it's scheduled for a tiny room barely large enough for four lawyers.

Waterloo Region police have laid charges against Galbraith for misleading investors with whom he signed contracts that proved to be worthless when Galbraith put the company into bankruptcy.

Williams told the court there have been several pre-trail meetings with the crown attorney and more are scheduled.
