The defence lawyer for a prominent organizer of the 2022 Freedom Convoy in Ottawa says he is not responsible for the mischief that ensued during the protest.

Defence Lawyer Natasha Calvinho began her closing arguments on July 26 by asking the court to dismiss the charges against Pat King, and blamed police, city officials and other protesters for allowing tensions to escalate during the protest.
