Stronach Trial Hits New Twist | Canada News

Frank Stronach, the auto parts tycoon convicted of sexual assault, faces a courtroom twist as his lawyers demand a mistrial after his victim’s lawyer allegedly tried to secretly negotiate a $1 million settlement with Stronach’s team — a move Judge Anne Molloy called “bizarre” and potentially unethical. The judge is weighing whether to call the lawyer as a witness, especially after inconsistencies emerged in his account of the crime. One victim, a former waitress fired from his bar, testified to being groped in his apartment — a case initially seen as less severe. With no statute of limitations, the legal drama continues as the judge holds off on granting a mistrial until she hears from the victim directly.
