Joshua Boyle's lawyer sees a glimmer of hope that a dispute over evidence in his assault trial will be resolved quickly, leading to resumption of the former Afghanistan captive's case as early as July.

Lawrence Greenspon is welcoming a commitment from Boyle's estranged spouse, Caitlan Coleman, that could lead to relatively speedy resolution of the legal snag that threatens to delay the trial for years.

Boyle has pleaded not-guilty in Ontario court to offences against Coleman, including assault, sexual assault and unlawful confinement. The alleged offences date from late 2017, after the couple returned to Canada following five years as hostages of extremists who seized them during an ill-fated trip to Asia.

The assault trial, which began in late March, is suspended indefinitely while Coleman heads to a higher court to challenge a ruling that allows Boyle to introduce evidence about certain consensual sexual activity between them. Ian Carter, Coleman's lawyer, says she has instructed him not to appeal the outcome of the challenge -- even if it goes against her -- to help ensure the trial proceeds expeditiously.

Appeal of ruling suspends assault trial for ex-Afghanistan hostage Joshua BoyleThe assault trial of former Afghanistan hostage Joshua Boyle will be delayed for weeks or even months while the courts settle a dispute over whether his sexual history with his wife is admissible evidence. Hope he does time. He's an idiot and he's costing tax payers waaaaay too much money. No wonder his captors let him go. They prolly gave him a first class ticket to leave their country. A Trudeau friend going through the legal system has his trial suspended. This may be on the up and up, but when it comes to Trudeau's inner circle and justice, I can't help but be suspicious.

Appeal of ruling suspends assault trial for ex-Afghanistan hostage Joshua BoyleThe assault trial of former Afghanistan hostage Joshua Boyle will be delayed for weeks or even months while the courts settle a dispute over whether his sexual history with his wife is admissible evidence. Absolutely disguising, he wasn't a hostage. He voluntarily went on a pilgrimage to meet Jihadis. Why won't you ask his wife about her time as the hostage, Joshua was complicit in abusing her and the children. Please stop referring to him as an ex hostage. It makes him sound like a victim and he is no victim !! *Alleged hostage. You use 'alleged' even when you are talking about things that was recorded, proven, prosecuted. You should use it re this creature too. No one proved he was held as a hostage.
