Federal Liberals......Provincial Liberals......Martini Operatives....Former GordCoCabinet Ministers....A man called Spiderman.....Allegations of Fraud.....Corruption....A Billion Dollar Deal.....The Selling Off Of A Crown Jewel.....
And it all begins in 41 days with the scheduled start of the Basi/Virk trial on April 24th.
And, apparently the media, the lawyers, and, perhaps, a few former cabinet minister are starting to get restless:
Canadian Press (No Byline)
Monday Mar 13
Lawyers for several Vancouver media outlets have asked a B.C. Supreme Court judge to release search warrant information related to the 2003 raid on the B.C. legislature.
The special prosecutor in the case and the lawyers for Bobby Virk, Dave Basi and Aneal Basi oppose releasing the information.
Special prosecutor Bill Berardino told Justice Elizabeth Bennett that a fair trial could be compromised if the information was released.
Dave Basi's lawyer, Michael Bolton, says releasing the information at this stage could taint witnesses who will testify when the trial starts in June.
Media lawyer Heather McConchie says because only some of the warrant information has been released the public isn't getting a complete picture of what the case is about.
Bennett has reserved her decision on the search warrants until March 28.
Dave Basi and Virk are charged with accepting a bribe, influence peddling, breach of trust and two counts of fraud over $5,000.
To which we would respond........Taint them all who are deserving. And the sooner the better.
