"Overruled"

"Good call"

Those residents of Ottawa were the victims of the tantrumist attack. They should absolutely be allowed to testify.

If you don't want to be tried in Ottawa don't commit crimes in Ottawa. If you do commit crimes in Ottawa your victims should be allowed to testify against you.

Isn't blocking Ottawa residents what they are on trial for in the first place?

Isn't preventing people from performing civic duties the opposite of freedom.

Lawrence Greenspoon has a terrible toupe.

When I read this, I thought, "Is Lawrence Greenspoon the Canadian version of Alan Greenspan?"

9 witnesses is too much but not 18 naked cowboys.
