HALIFAX — The editor of a Halifax gossip and satire magazine brandished his publication Tuesday after a trial date was set for allegations he violated a publication ban in the case of a man charged with murdering a female police officer.
Frank Magazine’s managing editor, Andrew Douglas, briefly appeared Tuesday in Halifax provincial court for the setting of the Dec. 15 court date.
Judge Gregory Lenehan said the date could be changed, and that the lawyers would discuss the date again before it is confirmed.
After his appearance, Douglas held up his magazine and its cover, which refers to the prosecution as a “persecution,” and said it contains detailed coverage of his own case.
