Suspended Sen. Patrick Brazeau has his eye on a return to the Senate after four criminal charges against him were dropped Tuesday.

Brazeau changed his plea to guilty on two charges: assaulting a former girlfriend in 2013 and simple possession of cocaine.

At the same time, the prosecution dropped four others: sexual assault against the ex-girlfriend and assault against two other people in 2014, as well as uttering a death threat.

He still faces one criminal charge of being in control of a vehicle while drunk.

Crown and defence lawyers have jointly asked for an unconditional discharge, which would mean no criminal record. The judge will think about that until late October and warned Brazeau he isn’t bound to do what the lawyers asked.
