Went above your attention span and intellect, eh?
As your mommy told you, it's not your fault. Twitter and YouTube has replaced reading conventional books for the simpler minded of us.
You misunderstood my post.
I was referring to the Crown's tactic of provoking the witness to elicit an emotional response.

I did misunderstand it. I take back the back handed bitch slap. I have only seen/used the term 'troll' in the context of the internet.
Not guaranteed to do anything but make you look incompetent when the witness is a qualified expert.
The witness is testifying off a scientific report. It's not like you're going to get him to break down on the stand Perry Mason style.
The judge apparently apologized to Zameer

Wondering how much is his legal fee? Will his lawyer likely do this for pro bono? I think the bill is quick large.
CP
He probably hasn't worked for 3 years too. Loss of wages for 3 years (500k in wages as an accountant?), potentially a 6 figure legal bill, emotional distress and being assaulted by a cop - probably owed a good million or so by the corrupt cops
He's close to 90k for gofundme....up at least 30k in the last day

do people remember John Tory and Doug Ford complaining when Zameer got bail for this? Because "bails should not be granted for murders"? So he should have spent this time in jail?

Hefty pay for sure...they should also remove these cops from the job....
I'm just glad my prediction was right. Justice has been served. Although, had justice been served, properly, from the beginning, he never would've been charged in the first place. But you know, cops gotta get their man.
I heard Zameer's lawyer being interviewed. When Nader Hasan first met with Zameer, his first words weren't, can you get me out on bail, they were "how is the family of the police officer doing?" That should be enough to tell you what kind of a guy Zameer is.
It was a tragic situation, compounded by a very narrow vision on the part of the police officers and the crown.

$200K is about the amount I figured it would cost for a good lawyer like Hasan
Yup.
Was discussed on CBC Radio today.
Civic leaders stoked hatred of Umar Zameer after Toronto police officer’s death: lawyer | RCI
Nader Hasan also questioned TPS chief's comments about 'hoping for a different outcome' from trial
In a responding statement from 2021 posted on X, formerly Twitter, Premier Doug Ford called the court's decision to grant Zameer bail "beyond comprehension.
It's completely unacceptable that the person charged for this heinous crime is now out on bail, Ford said — though his initial statement went even further (new window) and called Zameer "the person responsible" for Northrup's death, before walking that back by deleting and reposting with the words "responsible for" swapped for "charged with."
Comments out of line, lawyer says
Former Toronto mayor John Tory, meanwhile, said it was almost impossible to imagine a circumstance in which an accused in a case of first-degree murder would be granted bail.
Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown also tweeted at the time, saying in part: This is disgusting. It is very disturbing that the person charged for this heinous crime is now out on bail.

Hasan said Monday that those comments were ignorant, and came from people who should know better.
The presumption of innocence is one of the pillars of our criminal justice system, he said. "And for politicians to spout off and sentence a man and condemn a man who is presumed innocent without knowing any true details of the case — it is reckless, it is irresponsible.
Any no-name half decent criminal defence lawyer with experience in these matters might charge $400-$500 hr. 20 hours a week prep for a year is already $100,000.00. 2-3 years. Then the trial ... I bet the lawyers are working 12-14 hour days for those 3 weeks.
And even if the main lawyer has reduced his rate, the associate lawyers, clerks etc are employees and have to have a regular paycheque. Rent and office overhead is expensive. Transcripts, meetings for disclosure, conferences. Meeting with and hiring expert witnesses.
If Zameer only had to pay $200,000.00 I bet that barely covered his lawyers most basic costs.
I can go along with the police arresting him at the scene. After all... there is a dead police officer on the floor. And even being charged is not unreasonable. But once the Crown became aware of the objective facts, his own unbiased forensic sargeant's findings contradicting the 3 lying cops and didn't withdraw the charge... then it became a malicious, politically driven, self-preserving prosecution in my opinion.
Sadly, that has become the norm for years. Especially if unrepresented or poorly represented..
