Ezra is live blogging the sentencing hearing of Tamara Lich & Chris Barber. Follow it on this thread: the prosecutors are seeking seven years in prison for Tamara, eight years for Chris (and the seizure of his truck). There is literally not a single precedent in Canadian legal history that justifies that. The prosecutors look rabid and unhinged, because they are.
Update: afternoon session thread
I'm outside courtroom 5 in the Ottawa courthouse. The judge is inside, hearing another matter. There are more than 50 people waiting at the door to go in for the sentencing hearing. As usual, the course of justice is slow and punitive. Which seems to be the whole point of it.
