Proceedings on hold this morning

Proceedings in courtroom 36 have come to a halt. Crown laywer Scott Hutchison told the court that something came up last night that was of some concern. It has to do with the relationship Kilrea had with the lawyer who presided over his affidavit. The Crown and the Defence have taken a break to meet with all parties to inquire about the relationship. There are apparently documents in the Ottawa Citizen's possession that the Crown and Defence haven't seen, and in order to decide whether those documents are privy to solicitor-client privilege, the lawyers have to determine the nature of the relationship between Kilrea and the lawyer.
