David Lindsay sentenced to house arrest on August 9, 2024
A prominent anti-COVID mandate protester and self-proclaimed “freedom fighter" has been sentenced to house arrest for two convictions of assault and one count of contempt in a Kelowna Provincial Court on Aug. 9.
In the B.C. Supreme Courts, Lindsay is known as a "vexatious litigant," due to his tendency to file numerous appeals and applications and commence legal proceedings. During the sentencing hearing, Judge Henrichs said that other provincial courts have also found Lindsay's behaviours to be inappropriate.
Multiple video angles of the incident where Lindsay attempts to enter the building were captured by other protesters and by Interior Health security cameras. On the same day he was convicted, Judge Heinrichs also found Lindsay to be in contempt of court after making what she ruled to be"disrespectful" comments. Lindsay was given an opportunity to purge himself of contempt ahead of the sentencing hearing.
"It makes Lindsay appear two-faced," said Judge Heinrichs about the discrepancy between Lindsay's apologies and his actions.
