- There was one point in the trial that will stay in my memory. Near the end of all the testimony, the Crown prosecutor objected to Bob Anton, an Oneida chief, testifying about a meeting he had with General Kent Foster of the Canadian Armed Forces, on the grounds that the evidence was hearsay. The judge didn't agree. He took a long time to explain to the jury that in this case the hearsay rule was becoming increasingly irrelevant. The judge described the case as a ‘dispute between two peoples.
…For the judge to use the word "peoples" to describe the conflict was very significant. I think it even has international implications. In the United Nations, the word ‘peoples’ has a specific and controversial meaning as ‘nations.’
The jury saw this and said, ‘Not guilty.’ (en)
