OTTAWA—Crown prosecutors are attempting to hold Freedom Convoy organizers responsible for the actions of others, despite their having urged protesters to be peaceful and cooperate with police, Tamara Lich’s lawyer said during the closing arguments of her trial in Ottawa.
“The Crown asks that those leaders be held criminally responsible for the actions of unidentified others who were directed into the downtown core of Ottawa, and then were allowed to stay for a three-week period of time without so much as a single parking ticket being issued to any one of them,” defence lawyer Lawrence Greenspon said on Aug. 23.
