Today is expected to mark the end of the criminal trial for two prominent organizers of the Freedom Convoy protest, more than one year after the proceedings began.

Tamara Lich and Chris Barber are co-accused of mischief, intimidation and counselling others to break the law, among other charges.

The trial has been legally complicated and burdened with a huge body of evidence that stems from the three-week long demonstration in 2022 that blocked streets and frustrated Ottawa residents.
