Ex-World Juniors Case Gets Wild: Jury Dumps, Judge Takes Over 🏒🤯

The Deets

Okay, fam, listen up. This case with those ex-Team Canada junior hockey players is getting messy AF. Originally, it was a whole jury thing, right? But then, plot twist! The jurors dipped.

Apparently, some jurors sent a note saying they felt the defense lawyers were being extra sus, like making fun of their fits and how they were acting in court. One juror even said they thought they were getting clowned, which is a major L.

The judge, Justice Maria Carroccia, was like, "Nah, can't have that," and dismissed the whole jury. She was worried they couldn't stay unbiased after feeling roasted by the lawyers. The lawyers were all like, "We didn't mean it like that, it's getting lost in translation," but the judge wasn't having it.

So now, it's a judge-alone trial. Which means she's calling all the shots. All five dudes – Michael McLeod, Alex Formenton, Dillon Dube, Carter Hart, and Cal Foote – are still pleading not guilty.

Tyler Steenbergen, one of the witnesses, already spilled some tea about being in the hotel room back in June 2018. They were asking him about the snacks and what went down, so it was sus.

Oh, and get this: there was even a mistrial before because of some alleged wild behavior by one of the defense lawyers. This case is a whole rollercoaster, no cap.

The woman involved testified for two days.

The tea happened in London in June 2018, during a party for winning a hockey championship.
