The trial involves Gabriel Sohier Chaput, 36, who faces one charge of wilfully promoting hatred in connection with an article he wrote for neo-Nazi website Daily Stormer.
In July, Quebec court Judge Manlio Del Negro rebuked the prosecution for not calling an expert witness to establish that the murder of Jews by the regime of Adolf Hitler was a consequence of Nazi ideology. The judge then called both sides back to court to debate whether it is common knowledge that the Daily Stormer is a far-right website and whether Nazism did indeed lead to a genocide against Europe's Jews.
Defence lawyer Helene Poussard argued today that without expert testimony, the judge cannot accept as a fact that the Nazis killed six million Jews during the Holocaust.- This report by The Canadian Press was first published on Nov. 25, 2022
I can feel my brain cells dying after reading this.
What a disgusting approach from the defense.
This debate is stupid, that's why hate speech laws don't work
Seriously? '...without expert testimony, the judge cannot accept as a fact that the Nazis killed six million Jews during the Holocaust.'
Answer: of course it did.
What a waste of money
That was Hitler wasn’t it? interesting 🤨
Your debate is a waste of money.
I’ll let you in on a little secret…it did!
