The Crown is requesting an out-of-town judge to preside over next month’s hearings for convoy leaders Chris Barber and Tamara Lich to “avoid any apprehension of bias” at trial and while considering Barber’s stay-of-proceedings application.
Barber’s lawyer, Diane Magas, filed an application to stay all charges against her client, accusing the Crown of “abuse of process” and trampling his right to a fair trial after the public disclosure of 4,000 pages of Barber’s private cell phone data.
