Prime Minister doesn’t have to testify at the trial of a man accused of throwing gravel at him during a London election campaign stop in 2021
Further, he said, the court record to date doesn’t show that Trudeau’s evidence would be relevant to Marshall’s defence and that the subpoena is “an abuse of process because the prime minister’s testimony is being sought for a collateral political purpose.”
Also, the Crown wasn’t calling Trudeau, and Schumann pointed that in Marshall’s statement to the police, Marshall ultimately admitted he threw the stones at Trudeau and told the officers it was “a childish and silly act.” He was allowed to play two videos of Trudeau addressing the incident and said the defence wanted to cross-examine the prime minister about “inconsistencies” between the two statements. One video was filmed on the bus just moments after the gravel was thrown, where Trudeau said he may have been struck with the stones and it wasn’t a big deal.Article content
