‘This is not justice’ — member of Coutts 3 responds

Today on the Alberta Roundup with Rachel Emmanuel, Rachel speaks with Alex Van Herk, one of the Coutts Three found guilty last week of mischief over $5,000 for his role in the Coutts border blockade. Van Herk, who faces up to 10 years in prison, says sentencing is expected in September.

The trial revealed that Van Herk’s name rarely showed up in RCMP’s notes, and Van Herk says he is hoping for a lesser sentence than his friends. He also says there’s more Alberta Premier Danielle Smith can do to help the Coutts Three and he’s unimpressed with her response to his guilty verdict.
