Tony Briglio's days in court have seemingly come to an end for the foreseeable future, with the former city councillor given a stay of proceedings on his charge of assault stemming from an incident at the Seafest Beer Gardens of June 2007.
His case which first went to the court in January of 2008 had faced a number of delays since then, finally coming to resolution this past Tuesday. Judge Herman Seidemann provided the stay of proceedings upon consultation with the Crown, the result of the ruling is that Mr. Briglio will not spend any time in jail or have a criminal record. He will however have to report to a parole officer and attend counselling over the next year as directed by his parole officer.
He also is not to have any contact with the victim, will have a a 500 dollar bail surety in place and is required to appear before court when called to do so. (Daily News Article here when posted)
