Neal Hall got a little more time and space in the Vancouver Sun today and as a result his piece is both informative and insightful.
One small tidbit was the following:
Defence lawyer Michael Bolton, representing Dave Basi, said in court today that Bornmann claimed he bribed government officials but cut an immunity deal with police and the Crown.
He reiterated today that details of the deal have not been disclosed, so counsel can't properly prepare their defence of the three accused.
Bolton asked the court to order Bill Berardino, the special prosecutor assigned to the case, to appear in court for cross-examination.
He added the defence also wants to cross-examine Bornmann, his lawyer George Macintosh and Andi MacKay, a member of the special prosecution team.
The cross-examination of a special prosecutor would be highly unusual if allowed by the judge.
Pretty wild, eh?
Looks like the defence is trying to make the issue of the Bornmann immunity Deal/NoDeal thing stick.
Still think they should bring in a Howie Mandel look-alike to do the questioning.
Alternatively, the defense team could shave their heads and start working on their soul patches.
And/or send in a real clown like, say, J.P. Patches.......
