“I’ve done murder trials, other far more serious criminal cases. The amount of energy and resources being put into this, ... we’re going to have the Freedom Convoy trial lasting longer than the Freedom Convoy itself.” — Lawrence Greenspon, attorney for Tamara Lich, in an Epoch Times interview

In the arena of justice, it is far too easy to exaggerate when we see injustice occurring, and we might be prone to resorting to hyperbole when we assess innocent people to be the victims of unjust charges and a ravenous, perhaps politically motivated, justice system.

But it is difficult to attend the trial of Freedom Convoy personalities Tamara Lich and Chris Barber and not marvel at how all of this has come to pass.
