Ottawa convoy organizer Pat King is facing two new charges, the day after his bail review hearing came to an abrupt and unexpected halt Wednesday when his lawyer's computer appeared to be hacked.
The details of the hacking were protected by a publication ban ordered by Justice Graeme Mew, but he lifted the order this morning after hearing arguments from a lawyer representing several media outlets.Today, the Crown announced it would lay new charges against King: perjury and obstruction of justice.
Later, the Crown relayed that Goodman's client files appeared to have been compromised, but today Goodman says nothing has been corrupted.As court was adjourned today, King was seen putting his head in his hands. His bail hearing will be rescheduled to a later date.The court extended the publication ban to reporting details of the alleged hack but today rescinded that order. Lawyer David Goodman says the matter has been resolved and none of his files were compromised. Odd development.
