In November, Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland in Ottawa found King guilty on five counts, including mischief and disobeying a court order.

King is charged with mischief, counselling others to commit mischief, disobeying a court order and obstructing police for his role in the demonstration, which ultimately ended in a massive police operation. 

Defence lawyers for "Freedom Convoy" organizers Chris Barber and Tamara Lich started laying out their case in an Ottawa courtroom on Monday, Nov. 27, 2023.

The decision was delivered in an Ottawa courtroom Monday by Superior Court Justice Anne London-Weinstein.
