As the judge in the trial of two Freedom Convoy protest organizers has ordered access to internal Ottawa police documents, another one of the organizers at the centre of the protest said he believes it is “bizarre” that the evidence has been kept from defence lawyers.

“I found the whole thing bizarre given that it’s the Crown’s evidence that was submitted. And so why does the defence not have an opportunity to look at evidence that the Crown prosecutor was bringing into the courtroom?” Freedom Convoy organizer Tom Marazzo said in an interview.
