This article covers the request to drop all charges in the sexual assault trial of businessman Frank Stronach. His defense lawyer, Leora Shemesh, plans to file for a stay of proceedings because she believes the prosecution may have influenced certain witnesses. To support her claim, she is questioning a police officer about a preparatory meeting held with those witnesses. While Shemesh argues this interference compromises the case, the prosecution insists the motion has no merit. Stronach, 93, faces 12 charges involving seven different people for alleged incidents that took place between the 1970s and 1990s.
