A decision in the trial of Pat King, a key figure in what became the Freedom Convoy protest that paralyzed downtown Ottawa in early 2022, will be handed down Friday morning.

King faces multiple charges including mischief, intimidation and counselling others to commit crimes. Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland will now decide whether King's actions crossed legal boundaries.

If convicted, King could face significant penalties including up to 10 years in prison.

I predict innocent on most charges, with two years probation on mischief or something like that.

King has been found guilty of mischief and counselling to commit mischief, and not guilty of intimidation and counselling to commit intimidation.

Pat King, a central figure in the 2022 “Freedom Convoy” protests in Ottawa, has been found guilty on five charges, including mischief and disobeying a court order. The verdict was delivered today in an Ottawa courtroom, where the judge ruled that the Crown had proven beyond a reasonable doubt King’s culpability in the following offenses:

  • One count of mischief
  • Counselling others to commit mischief
  • Counselling others to obstruct police
  • Two counts of disobeying a court order

However, the Alberta resident was acquitted on three counts of intimidation and one count of obstructing police. source
