Louie wants a change in venue for sentencing – back in court Mar. 27

brian louieAn Oliver man found guilty of a violent assault on the Indian Reserve will not be sentenced until he gets a new lawyer.

Brian Douglas Louie is requesting his sentencing be moved to Vancouver rather than the Penticton law courts where he was found guilty in December.

“This is a big misunderstanding and hopefully I can clarify everything, because this is a nightmare to me,” he said.

At the end of his trial, Louie, 34, was found guilty of aggravated sexual assault and assault causing bodily harm, stemming from an incident on the OIB reserve in May of last year.
