Former Fredericton radio host Trevor Leslie Doyle has asked for another delay in his sentencing hearing because he does not want to waive his right to appear in person. He has been held in Puerto Rico since his arrest in early April 2019. Chief Judge Gustavo Gelpi issued an order allowing a sentencing hearing to proceed via video conference so long as the defendant waives his right to be physically present. "However, Mr. Doyle informs that, as this time, he does not consent to waive his right to be physically present at the sentencing hearing." Recommended sentenceDoyle was originally charged with attempted enticement of a minor, which carries a maximum sentence of life, following an FBI sting operation in Puerto Rico.
