(Calgary Herald) The lengthy delay in getting Calgary terrorism suspect Jamal Borhot to trial was not caused by the complexity of the case, his lawyer said Monday.
Defence counsel Pawel Milczarek, who wants Justice Corina Dario to enter a judicial stay in the case, said the crown can’t rely on complex issues to justify taking more than 44 months to complete his client’s case.
In their written submissions, prosecutors Dominic Puglia and Kyra Kondro argued complexity was one of the main reasons the case has exceeded the ceiling established by the Supreme Court of 30 months.
“This is a complex case,” the prosecutors said in their filed brief.
