TORONTO, January 12, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – Jailed pro-life heroine Mary Wagner is scheduled for another court appearance January 26, but it’s unclear if a trial date will be set at that time.
Wagner, who is representing herself, appeared briefly in an Ontario, Canada, courtroom on Friday to receive disclosures of evidence of the Crown’s case against her.
She will be back in court in two weeks to discuss with the judge how to move the case forward.
Wagner, 43, has been in jail since her December 8 arrest at Women’s Care Clinic, an abortion facility located on the fifth floor of 960 Lawrence Avenue West in Toronto.
She and a friend entered the abortion center with red roses and attempted to persuade women to choose life for their unborn children.
Wagner is charged with mischief and two counts of breach of probation.
In a December 22 court appearance, Wagner asked Justice Howard Chisvin to release her on the sole condition she return for her trial, pointing out that she is already under two probation orders to stay away from all abortion centers in Ontario.
The judge refused, and instead imposed the Crown’s requested bail of $500 and the condition that Wagner stay away from abortion centers until her trial.
“It’s up to you, Ms. Wagner, to sign it or not sign it,” Chisvin told her. “If you choose to sign it you can go…”
But Wagner refused to sign the bail order. She will likely remain behind bars until her trial.
And just when the trial will take place remains an open question, said Wagner's friend and supporter Linda Gibbons.
