It was a sad set of circumstances that concluded in Saskatoon provincial court on Thursday, with Christopher Godlien pleading guilty to assault causing bodily harm. The second accused, Robbie Watier, previously pleaded guilty to assault in relation to the same incident.

They were at Tequila Nightclub on the night of March 8, 2014, at a fundraiser for the following day’s funeral for Dustin Boulet. The 29-year-old Boulet died March 1, 2014, after he was stabbed outside Bridge’s Ale House & Eatery.

Another man at Tequila that night, Brandon Selinger, apparently was looking for a fight, according to Godlien’s defence lawyer Leslie Sullivan.

“In (Selinger’s) own statements, one of the things he likes to do is go drinking and look for fights,” Sullivan said in court.
