It will have been nearly a year since a mistrial was declared in the case of 62 year old Leonard Berry before a new trial will be held.
The Spirit River man has been in custody on a charge of aggravated assault of a police officer since August 2013.
He’s accused of strangling a police officer with his radio cord and leaving him beaten in a ditch.
A female witness perjured herself during his trial earlier this year, and a new trial has been set for January 2015.
