Byron Sonne Trial

The reason I went to Toronto was so I could hear the closing arguments in the “free Byron” trial.

The Crown’s argument lasted all of Thursday and well into Friday. Unfortunately, instead of clearly laying out the Crown theory, it was a painstaking recitation of reams of “evidence”. Granted, I am not a lawyer, but although there was a lot of data, it failed to convince me of anything, especially as the bits of theory popping up here and there were often contradictory.

I remember from college sociology that weak argument that includes everything was called “kitchen sinking” because when you really don’t have a worthwhile argument, throw in everything, including the kitchen sink.
