The details of the raid were protected by a publication ban ordered by Judge Graeme Mew, but he lifted the order this morning after hearing arguments from a lawyer representing a number of media outlets. The remaining evidence and testimonies from the court on Wednesday and today can not yet be shared. Today, the Crown announced that it would file new charges against King: forgery and obstruction of justice. These accusations are expected to be made this afternoon. King’s lawyer, David Goodman, appeared in a teleconference during the proceedings on Wednesday when a robotic female voice began speaking from his computer, warning him not to turn off or restart the machine because he had access to his IP address. The Crown later reported that Goodman’s client files appeared to have been compromised, but today Goodman says nothing has been damaged. It is not clear if the attack has anything to do with King’s case. As the trial adjourned today, King was seen putting his head in his hands. The hearing for his release will be postponed to a later date.
The new charges are expected to be filed later today. – Glen McGregor (@glen_mcgregor) April 14, 2022 The court extended the ban on publishing details of the alleged piracy, but today overturned that order. Lawyer David Goodman says the matter has been resolved and none of his files have been compromised. Strange evolution. – Glen McGregor (@glen_mcgregor) April 14, 2022 This Canadian Press report was first published on April 14, 2022.
