The Mike Duffy trial on charges of fraud, breach of trust and bribery will begin April 7, 2015 in Ottawa. The court has set aside 41 days for the anticipated hearing. There is much speculation about what might happen. These matters seem to be unknowns. They include whether the prime minister would be called as a witness, whether Duffy can ever be convicted on the bribery charge (which some trial lawyers say they do not understand) and whether Mr. Duffy’s often mentioned health will somehow play a role in the trial.
