Clips from Matt Weber and Norm Boxall Interview
Hey everyone,
We sat down with Matt Weber and Norm Boxall (Mohamed Harkat's lawyers) a few weeks ago in Ottawa. It was a fascinating interview, and they really highlighted the differences between a security certificate case and a normal criminal case. We have always been curious about what this process is like for the lawyers. I mean, how do you defend somebody without knowing what the evidence against them is? Matt and Norm were really able to shed some light on that for us.
Here are a couple of moments from the interview: first, Matt Weber gives us an example of the government's use of "National Security" as reasoning to avoid answering certain questions. Secondly, we have Norm Boxall illustrating the basic differences between a normal criminal case and a security certificate. As you'll see, there's really no comparison. Enjoy!
