Thanks. This is my first Canada trial I have followed and it is very interesting about the differences as compared to US trials.

(Snipped by me)

My first Canada trial, too. I agree, Hatfield, this is a pleasant surprise to see the way the court system works here. I too, have been quite impressed with this. The one good thing I can say about this horrendous case--- thorough work, decorum in the courtroom, respectful toward witnesses and victim-family members.

Glad your here Hatfield and impressed by the case. Makes me proud to be Canadian.

Always be proud to be Canadian, neighbor!
