A man has been found guilty of attempting to smuggle firearms in an unusual trial that spanned much of last week.
Alex Louie, who goes by Senk香蕉视频直播檒ip, was facing nine charges related to the Feb. 1 incident this year, when he attempted to take two handguns across the border, wiring them to the undercarriage of his vehicle.
Senk香蕉视频直播檒ip had attempted to argue the court had no jurisdiction over him as an Indigenous man on unceded territory, but Justice Arne Silverman shot that argument down before the trial began.

Senk香蕉视频直播檒ip appeared to find difficulties with navigating the legal system, with no lawyer to help him along the way. That had led to a number of hiccups in the process, with Silverman sending the jury out to explain legal issues with Senk香蕉视频直播檒ip香蕉视频直播檚 line of questioning at times during cross-examination.
