Prosecutors in the criminal fraud trial of Garth Drabinsky and Myron Gottlieb were supposed to wrap up their case Tuesday afternoon. But as I approached the courthouse I saw a bad omen – defence lawyer Brian Greenspan parking his sleek black Jaguar on a street near the courthouse where cars could be ticketed and towed if they stayed longer than 30 minutes.
In an abbreviated court session, lawyers told Madam Justice Mary Lou Benotto they wanted the trial to resume on Thursday when prosecutors will introduce the last of the documents they want entered as part of their case. On Thursday, we may (emphasis on may) finally learn if the defence intends to call any of their own evidence.
As always, the trial continues.

One Response to “ One Last Brief Delay in the Livent Trial ”
Although I haven’t followed this trial closely it is interesting how much fraud is out there and how many people are getting caught. The worst part is, it’s not only accounting fraud, but finanical fraud in general. I guess that’s why schools, like Centennial College in Toronto, are actually offering courses in financial fraud. Let’s hope their grads are able to prevent people like Garth Drabinsky and Myron Gottlieb from defrauding more people.
