Defence finds no evidence of conspiracy among Freedom Convoy organizers
Tamara Lich’s defence team says that there is no evidence to support that she and a fellow Freedom Convoy organizer should be considered co-conspirators in court because their actions were not illegal.
The Crown concluded its case against Ms. Lich and Chris Barber on Nov. 20.
The two are co-accused of mischief and intimidation, among other charges, in relation to the massive protest against COVID-19 restrictions that gridlocked downtown Ottawa for weeks in 2022.
The Crown aims to demonstrate that the two worked so closely together that evidence against one of them should apply to the other.
In a court filing, Ms. Lich’s lawyers argue that the Crown’s application should be dismissed because the Crown has not proven that Ms. Lich and Mr. Barber agreed to protest COVID-19 mandates by illegal means.
The trial is expected to resume next week.
