A man accused of fatally shooting two Saskatchewan RCMP officers last summer still doesn't have anyone to defend his case.
But lawyer Bill Roe says court officials are close to reaching a deal on how much he should be paid to take on the case of Curtis Dagenais.
Mr. Dagenais appeared in North Battleford provincial court today without information about his finances that was requested at a previous appearance.
But Mr. Roe, who joined the court via conference call, said he and court officials feel they can still move forward in talks.
Mr. Dagenais won't have to attend court March 14 when the two sides will again discuss the case.
Mr. Dagenais faces first-degree murder charges in the deaths of constables Marc Bourdages and Robin Cameron during a police pursuit near Spiritwood, Sask., last July.
