A Superior Court judge has tossed out bids from Randy Hillier and Pat King for a change of court venue after similar legal arguments were heard — and rejected…
Justice Hackland already decided the “key issue” in the Bauder case, Phillips said, and found that there are sufficient safeguards in the legal process to “ferret out” any potential bias among prospective jurors.
“And we have the widespread existence of not just demonizing the Freedom Convoy but demonizing Randy Hillier the accused person… Our case went far beyond that and had a number of pillars to it.” “I’m concerned we didn’t have an opportunity to make the submission that it is still arguable,” Anber said Thursday.
“Mr. Hillier is saying, in effect, ‘I am alleged to have victimized the city of Ottawa, Mark Sutcliffe tweeted for my arrest as did Catherine McKenney and leaders. How can I get a fair trial in this town given that these people — in his view — are a representative sampling of the broader public?’Article content
Phillips said the earlier ruling identified that “procedural safeguards in place to assess bias or impartiality on the part of the jury pool will surely weed those people out.”
