Trial told letter-bomb suspect’s former lawyer was scared after she dropped him
WINNIPEG — A Winnipeg lawyer says she was scared to leave the courthouse after she dropped a client in a civil lawsuit that had been brought against him by his ex-wife.
Sarah McEachern says she had been hired by Guido Amsel in 2013, but withdrew from the case in September 2014.
She told his attempted murder trial that she and Amsel had an interaction in the courthouse hallway after her motion to withdraw was granted.
She said he wanted to know if she had been paid off by his former wife, Iris, or her lawyer.
