“There’s no evidence against her,” judge Merrick said at the trial. “All it shows is she was working.”
After the trial, police returned Lafleur-Vetter’s SD cards to her.
Lafleur-Vetter said that she believes that the charges brought against her were intended to scare other journalists and deter them from covering protests.
