Tamara Lich Found Guilty! Crown Asks for 7 Years in Prison!

Tamara Lich, one of the courageous leaders of the Freedom Convoy was recently found guilty of criminal mischief relating to her activities at the Freedom Convoy in early 2022. She just had her sentencing hearing this past week - and the Crown asked for 7 years in prison! This is basically the maximum amount of time you could face for "mischief" and her lawyers aren't sure if anyone has gone to jail for that length time with this kind of charge. The National Post had an article this week highlighting various appalling crimes - from killing to rape to shooting at the police - that can get you less than 7 years in jail.

To make matters worse, the sentence wasn't announced after the hearing - that will be announced at another hearing in October. The waiting games continue.

Tamara was facing 6 total criminal charges, one of which was stayed by the prosecutor, and the other 4 she was found not guilty on. Unfortunately, she was found guilty of one criminal charge of mischief, which is what she's being sentenced on. The fact she was found not-guilty on the other charges is a silver lining to this situation, but the conviction is still extremely disappointing.

This saga has been ongoing for nearly 3 years, and has involved Tamara being arrested, re-arrested and jailed for 49 days.

Tamara has logged over 38,000 km driving to and from Ottawa for hearings related to this trial and the Convoy. She now has to travel once again for her final sentencing pronouncement in October.

Not only is she unable to work while she's traveling to and from Ottawa, she's incurring expenses for gas, food, and lodging. Worse yet, she faces the prospect of jail.
