Charges dismissed against Ottawa Freedom Convoy protester
All charges against Freedom Convoy protestor Evan Blackman related to his participation in it have been dropped.
“My client and I are thrilled with this outcome,” said Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF)-funded lawyer Chris Fleury in a Tuesday press release.
“After almost 20 months, Mr. Blackman can finally put this matter behind him.”
The JCCF said Blackman had been charged with mischief and obstructing police.
At the time of his arrest, it said police were conducting an enforcement action in downtown Ottawa, clearing the streets of protestors. Evidence against him consisted of a 14-minute drone video and the testimony of one officer who was on the scene.
