Closing arguments are expected to be heard in August in the trial of two leaders of what became known as the Freedom Convoy.
The trial began in September but has been slowed by delays. This week, lawyers for Lich and Barber announced they would not be calling any of their own evidence."We've reviewed the evidence that's been tendered by the Crown, it's been all subject to cross examination," Lich's lawyer Lawrence Greenspon said outside of court Friday.
They used police and resident testimony, hours of video evidence, and mountains of social media content and text messages to argue the two accused had control and influence over the protest.
