Sexual assault trial for ex-world junior hockey players held up as judge, lawyers discuss procedure




Legal arguments are taking longer than expected this morning.

This is not unusual. In Canadian law, anything heard during a trial outside the presence of the jury cannot be reported — it's part of the Criminal Code, which states "no information regarding any portion of the trial at which the jury is not present shall be published in any document or broadcast or transmitted in any way before the jury retires to consider its verdict."

Family members are here again today, as are the media from Canada and other countries. Once again, the accused are all wearing dark suits except for Carter Hart, who is wearing an olive green suit. Each man is sitting at his own table with his legal team.

They each have the same tables each day, so it’s not a scramble to fight for the best table. Reporters, on the other hand, do jostle (cordially) for a place to sit, although at this point we’re all kind of taking the same spots every day.
