Archive/File: people/b/burdi.george trial-observer-comments Comments from a trial observer, upon being told that Mr. Burdi was claiming that the jury found him guilty of inciting others to violence: "George Burdi was found guilty of Assault Causing Bodily Harm. While he was indeed charged with the assault on Alicia, in order to obtain a guilty verdict all the Crown had to prove was that he EITHER committed the act himself, or aided and encouraged someone else to commit the crime. The Jury did not (and by law does not have to) report which of the 2 it found in regards to the charge. Nonetheless, in sentencing Burdi to a year in jail (a much greater sentence than even the Crown asked for), the Judge remarked thaqt it was his personal belief that Burdi actually committed the assault. The bottom-line is that the jury never commented one way or the other on whether or not Burdi actually commited the assault. Thus, Burdi's protestations that the jury did not find that he committed the assault is in one word bs." [July 5, 1995]
