Jalbert Trial Date Stated
State Rep. Louis C. Jalbert’s trial is set to open in Androscoggin Superior Court on October 5. The date was agreed by Justice James P. Archibald, David Hastings, and Jalbert’s attorney George M. Carlton Jr. Jalbert has not pleaded to two indictments for conspiracy and cheating by false pretenses tied to the St. Pierre Electrical Co. bankruptcy. The schemes involve offering money to a judge and aiding a loan to buy golf clubs to win judicial favor in a possible charge against Leo St. Pierre, the firm head’s father and a former state senator. No action against Leo St. Pierre is alleged.
