Anne Squires, the former Realtor charged after a lengthy saga over her collapsed franchise, is heading to a jury trial in spring 2019. Defence lawyer Randy Piercey entered not guilty pleas on Squires's behalf at Supreme Court in St. John's on Monday. Squires was charged with theft over $5,000, fraud over $5,000, uttering a forged document and breach of trust, following what police called a "lengthy and thorough investigation into Squires and her business dealings." In a court document obtained by CBC News in February 2016, police investigators wrote they believed Squires falsified home purchase and sales agreements. The six- to eight-week jury trial is set to begin on April 2, 2019.
