Bulldog drama heads to court
By KEVIN MARTIN -- Calgary Sun
Pro wrestler Davey Boy Smith will face a trial in July for allegedly threatening his brother-in-law, the estranged husband of his new girlfriend.
Prominent defence lawyer Alain Hepner appeared briefly in provincial court to set a hearing date of July 17.
Smith is accused of threatening Bruce Hart, the brother of Smith's estranged wife, Diana Hart-Smith.
Similar charges alleging Smith threatened his ex-wife and her sister, Elizabeth Niedhart, were dropped by the Crown last December after he agreed to sign a peace bond. Smith claimed those charges had come in the midst of a bitter ongoing divorce.
When Smith's was last in court, the burly city man appeared with Andrea Hart, his alleged victim's ex-wife, by his side.
Hepner said his client denies threatening his brother-in-law.
