‘Freedom Convoy’ organizer Pat King expected to have bail review today

Jul 13, 2022 | 1:04 AM

OTTAWA — “Freedom Convoy” organizer Pat King is expected to appear in an Ottawa court today for a bail review.

He will be returning after his earlier bail review in April came to an abrupt and unexpected halt when his lawyer’s computer appeared to be hacked.

Since then, he’s tapped a new lawyer to fight for his release and defend him against the mounting number of charges.

The day after the abruptly ended hearing, the Crown announced it would lay additional perjury and obstruction of justice charges against him.

The details of the testimony that led to the allegations are protected by a publication ban.
