Calgary: Evidence closes in trial of Muslim terrorism suspect without him testifying

The evidentiary portion of Calgary terrorism suspect Jamal Borhot’s lengthy trial concluded Thursday without the accused testifying in the case.

But defence lawyer Pawel Milczarek said he didn’t put his client on the witness stand because of the vagueness of the Crown’s case against him.

“Every time the defence has asked for the Crown to formally outline its position about what it is alleging Mr. Borhot did or what activity of Islamic State he allegedly enhanced over this period of 11 months, they have refused,” Milczarek said outside court, reading from a prepared statement.
