Janson Bryan Baker sat and watched from the prisoner's box as four Crown witnesses testified during the sixth day of the trial at the Moncton Law Courts.
Baker is facing numerous charges, including attempted murder, in the shooting of a Riverview High School teacher on Jan. 5, 2021.
Baker has admitted to shooting the teacher, but his lawyer Alex Pate told CTV News he plans to present evidence Baker’s level of intoxication was such that he didn’t have the ability to form the intent to commit a crime.
According to an agreed statement of facts between the Crown and the defence, Baker shot Christopher Leger outside the school with a sawed off 12-gauge shotgun shortly after 5 p.m.
He was the driver and sole occupant of a 2020 Hyundai Elantra when he approached Leger and Joshua Hebb and threatened them both.
The gun was pointed at both teachers and was discharged in their direction.
