Judge in Hockey Canada sex-assault trial was right to dismiss jury from high-profile case, legal experts say

May 16, 2025
The judge at the sexual assault trial of five hockey players in London, Ont., took the logical step when she dismissed jurors for the second time and opted to proceed with a judge alone, legal experts say.The latest twist in the trial of former members of Canada’s 2018 world junior hockey team came after a juror alleged that two defence lawyers – Daniel Brown and Hilary Dudding – had been laughing at them, a claim both denied. Justice Maria Carroccia then discharged the jury on Friday.
