Nunavut attempted murder trail date

In May 2010, James Joanasie Newkingnak was charged with attempted murder. Newkingnak attacked Jeremy Nookiguak with an axe in Nunavut, causing permanent brain damage. With the court date set on November 7th, James is ready to plead guilty to aggravated assault rather than attempted murder. The court proceedings were delayed for psychiatric information on intermittent explosive disorder.
It's astonishing to see people plead guilty. I feel like it's a responsible thing to do. What caught my attention in this case that he only has a one day trial as opposed to the trials that go on for months.
