Guido Amsel, 51, is on trial for attempted murder and explosives-related charges after three bombs were mailed within the city of Winnipeg in July 2015, following an explosion at his ex-wife’s home in 2013 after a lengthy and brutal divorce.
He pleaded not guilty to all of the charges, and provincial court Judge Tracey Lord is hearing the Crown’s case against him, which was scheduled to include testimony from two lawyers who stopped working for Amsel in 2014.
