Justice Brown has vigorously denied accusations that he was intoxicated and harassed a group of friends at an event at an upscale resort in Scottsdale.
Brown spoke at the event held by Arizona State University to honour former Supreme Court justice and human rights advocate Louise Arbour.
“Outside the lounge, Mr. Crump objected to me rejoining the group and suddenly, without warning or provocation, punched me several times in the head. Taken by surprise, I was unable to defend myself,” Brown said. They said the evidence shows a “calculated plan by the complainant to concoct an account in which Justice Brown was the aggressor — to ‘get out ahead of it,’ in the words of one of the complainant’s own companions.”
Chief Justice Richard Wagner said the Supreme Court will continue to render decisions in Brown’s absence, but he is calling on PM Justin Trudeau to promptly appoint a new justice.
