King claims more notoriety than Randy Hillier.
OTTAWA — “Freedom Convoy” organizer Pat King has asked the court once again to move his criminal trial out of Ottawa, even though others who were charged during the demonstration have been denied similar requests.King’s lawyer Natasha Calvinho is arguing that King had a greater notoriety than most other convoy organizers and even Ontario MPP Randy Hillier, who also faces charges related to the convoy last winter.
King was among the original group of organizers that brought big rigs and other trucks to the capital to protest COVID-19 public health restrictions in early 2022, and Calvinho says his name has been highly publicized ever since. The Crown has asked for the request to be dismissed, and Calvinho acknowledged in court that King’s request would be an “uphill battle” for her to argue.
King is charged with mischief and other charges related to counselling others to mischief, disobeying a court order and obstructing police.Postmedia is committed to maintaining a lively but civil forum for discussion and encourage all readers to share their views on our articles.
