Ontario man pleads guilty to assault in gravel-throwing incident involving Justin Trudeau
As Trudeau was boarding his campaign bus, a small handful of gravel was thrown from the group of protesters, striking the prime minister, members of his security team, and other protesters, said assistant Crown attorney Jeremy Carnegie, reviewing the facts aloud in court.
The incident was captured on video, and London police began investigating the incident on Sept. 8. The investigating officer reviewed “numerous videos” showing Marshall at the event, and he was observed pacing around a crowd of protesters toward the driveway of a neighbouring building, Carnegie told the court.“The accused was captured reaching down to the unfinished driveway, where he picks up a handful of gravel. The gravel was then thrown at the prime minister over the crowd.
Lawyers representing Marshall had sought to subpoena the prime minister to have him testify during the trial. On Monday, a Superior Court justice quashed the subpoena on what appeared to be grounds of parliamentary privilege for Trudeau, according to the London Free Press.During Tuesday’s proceedings, Marshall’s lawyers filed a notice of application to adjourn the trial, saying the outcome of the subpoena the previous day “created a significant number of issues for Mr. Marshall’s case.”
