Lich is represented by Lawrence Greenspon and Eric Granger; Barber is represented by Diane Magas and Marwa Younes.
Magas presented closing arguments on behalf of Barber over two days of hearings, which began last week and extended into Monday. On Tuesday, Granger is expected to contest the Crown’s argument — known as a Carter application — that alleges evidence against one accused convoy leader should apply to both. Greenspon is then expected to make final submissions on behalf of Lich before Ontario Court Justice Heather Perkins-McVey.
The court is also sitting on Friday. Follow along here for updates.
