Their legal advice is actually quite simple.

STOP BREAKING THE LAW, ASSHOLE!

Those residents of Ottawa were the victims of the tantrumist attack. They should absolutely be allowed to testify.

If you don't want to be tried in Ottawa don't commit crimes in Ottawa. If you do commit crimes in Ottawa your victims should be allowed to testify against you.

Isn't blocking Ottawa residents what they are on trial for in the first place?

Isn't preventing people from performing civic duties the opposite of freedom.

Lawrence Greenspoon has a terrible toupe.

When I read this, I thought, "Is Lawrence Greenspoon the Canadian version of Alan Greenspan?"

interesting. so they already signed statements admitting to blocking traffic and affecting local businesses, therefore they're arguing that those testimonies are not necessary. basically this is the equivalent of, "we already admitted it, can't we just move on?"

IMO the court should still hear the victims' impact statements. i hope the judge thinks so too.

9 witnesses is too much but not 18 naked cowboys.
