Trial Judge and Lawyer Tom Arbogast

Lawyer Tom Arbogast: Lawyer Tom Arbogast said drawing conclusions from the eight-month trial, which featured evidence from 154 witnesses and copious financial records, became a confusing exercise for the judge and jury, according to CTV. "It was bewildering, to be frank. I think it was bewildering to the trial judge many times and bewildering to defence counsel." - Jury members whose verdict labelled a government-sponsored refugee a serial killer were overwhelmed by complex evidence, a defence lawyer told the British Columbia Appeal Court Monday as he sought to overturn Charles Kembo convictions. "There were so many exhibits in this case and the various ways they came in was so confusing," Arbogast told a panel of three judges. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
