(Calgary Herald) The more than 3 1/2 years it will take to get Calgary terrorism suspect Jamal Borhot to trial amounts to an unreasonable delay in breach of his Charter rights, his lawyer says.
Defence counsel Pawel Milczarek has filed a notice of motion seeking a judicial stay of Borhot’s charges involving allegations he went to Syria to aid ISIS.
In it, Milczarek said none of the three years, eight months and eight days it will take to conclude his client’s prosecution can be attributed to the defence.
As a result, he says in his written material, the only option for Justice Corina Dario is to enter a judicial stay of Borhot’s charges, ending his prosecution.
