Convoy Participant’s Retrial Could Have Impact on Tamara Lich, Chris Barber Case.

An expert has commented that an Ontario court's decision to order a retrial for "Freedom Convoy" protester Allen Remley, who was acquitted on a mischief charge, could have implications for the ongoing trial of key organizers Tamara Lich and Chris Barber. Superior Court Justice Narissa Somji ordered a retrial after finding that the original judge, Heather Perkins-McVey, did not adequately take the context of the protest into account. This means the judge will have to apply a broader standard when ruling on Lich and Barber. Both organizers are accused of mischief, intimidation, and several charges related to counselling others to break the law.
