Crown lawyers intend on calling Ottawa residents impacted by what became known as the Freedom Convoy to testify in the criminal trial of two of the protest’s organizers, after the court ruled it would permit their testimony.
Residents are expected to start testifying Thursday morning.
Justice Heather Perkins-McVey ruled Wednesday that residents and business owners can testify in the trial of Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, who are charged with mischief, counselling others to commit mischief, intimidation and obstructing police for their role in the weeks-long protest in January and February of 2022.
