The judge in the criminal trial of two Freedom Convoy organizers is expected to deliver a ruling on Nov. 3 about the admissibility of internal police documents as evidence.

Crown prosecutors and the Ottawa Police Service have argued the heavily redacted documents, which include emails and information about a software update for officers’ cellphones, are irrelevant or protected by solicitor-client privilege.
