Rahim Jaffer case heads for plea bargain

[daleo]

Cocaine possession and drunk-driving charges against former Alberta Conservative MP Rahim Jaffer are likely be resolved through a plea-bargain in early March.

At a brief hearing last week, an Ontario Court of Justice noted that the case will be resolved the next time it is in court.

Mr. Jaffer's lawyer, Howard Rubel, said the next court date for the case is March 9. However, Mr. Rubel declined to discuss what will happen.

Mr. Jaffer represented the riding of Edmonton-Strathcona from 1997 until he was defeated in the 2008 election. The charges were particularly embarrassing to him since Mr. Jaffer had approved campaign radio ads supporting drug-free schools and getting tough with drug dealers.

Maybe they can give him house arrest. He can spend it in the House of Commons, since Harper doesn't seem to use the place anyway.
