Lindsay represented himself throughout the lengthy and unusual trial. During the trial, he accused Crown prosecutor David Grabavac and Judge Cathaline Heinrichs of conspiring against him.

In one instance he dared Heinrichs to find him in contempt of court. In Canada, contempt refers to being disobedient to or disrespectful toward a court of law.

Heinrichs found LindsayB次元官网网址檚 dare to be contemptuous, but granted him a chance to apologize ahead of sentencing.

Lindsay also attempted to file a constitutional application which stated that his rights and freedoms were infringed upon regarding his ban from the Interior Health building. Judge Heinrichs dismissed the constitutional application.

Lindsay also filed an application requesting that Grabavac be held in contempt of court but application was also dismissed.
