The defendants brought a second set of pre-trial motions seeking a stay of proceedings for abuse of process, recusal of prosecutors, declarations of Charter violations, and various disclosure orders.
The motions alleged prosecutorial and investigative misconduct, including failure to disclose relevant case law, prejudicial filing of witness statements, and late disclosure of a police statement.
The court dismissed the motions for a stay, recusal, and prevention of new witnesses.
It also largely denied the disclosure requests, finding no merit in the misconduct allegations and that most requested items were matters for cross-examination.
