Meanwhile, back in courtroom 36 ... the Larry O’Brien Show will go on!

That is, unless Team Larry’s lawyers have another plot twist in store for fans of Ottawa’s smash hit municapolitical reality show thriller:

Mayor Larry O’Brien’s criminal trial will continue, after Justice Douglas Cunningham ruled Friday afternoon that it would be against the law to offer a political opponent a job in exchange for dropping out of an election campaign.

ITQ will be back on liveblogging duty when/if the trial resumes on July 6. In the meantime, follow all the action via Hot Room Colleague McGregor’s indispensible twitterfeed.
