MONTREAL -- A bail hearing will be held next month for the man charged in Quebec's 2012 election-night shooting.
Richard Henry Bain's lawyer Marcel Guerin says his client will be among the witnesses who are expected to testify.
Bain is charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder after an attack at a Montreal club on Sept. 4, 2012 as Pauline Marois celebrated the Parti Quebecois election victory.
Lighting technician Denis Blanchette was fatally shot and colleague David Courage was wounded as they stood near a doorway to the downtown Metropolis nightclub where Marois was giving her speech.
Bain also faces several weapons charges as well as some relating to arson in the same incident.
Quebec Superior Court Justice Guy Cournoyer today set aside two-and-a-half days for the hearing, beginning July 26.
Bain's trial is set for January 2015.
