    Objection!

    On what grounds?

    Their testimony will be devastating to our case…

    Those residents of Ottawa were the victims of the tantrumist attack. They should absolutely be allowed to testify.

    If you don’t want to be tried in Ottawa don’t commit crimes in Ottawa. If you do commit crimes in Ottawa your victims should be allowed to testify against you.

    Isn’t preventing people from performing civic duties the opposite of freedom.

      When I read this, I thought, “Is Lawrence Greenspoon the Canadian version of Alan Greenspan?”

    interesting. so they already signed statements admitting to blocking traffic and affecting local businesses, therefore they’re arguing that those testimonies are not necessary. basically this is the equivalent of, “we already admitted it, can’t we just move on?”

    IMO the court should still hear the victims’ impact statements. i hope the judge thinks so too.

    I see the lawyer’s point. What relevant testimony will they be able to give in regards to Chris Barber and Tamara Lich? This is not POEC or The other sob story commission that was held in Ottawa for Zexi Li and others to promote their civil case.

      Why would you repeat the same exact joke someone else made? There were 6 comments total, you couldn’t be bothered to read any of them ?
