DESCRIPTION:    John H. Gomery\, retired Justice of the Superior Court of Q
 uebecThe Trial of Jocelyn Hotte  After a brief description of the often ov
 erlooked role of the Judge who presides at a criminal jury trial\, the pre
 senter will relate the circumstances leading up to the murder trial of Joc
 elyn Hotte\, an R.C.M.P. officer who on June 23\, 2001\, killed his paramo
 ur after a dramatic car chase on the Metropolitan Boulevard in Montreal du
 ring which the victim's cries for help were recorded by the Montreal Polic
 e. The trial was preceded by a voir dire concerning the admissibility of t
 he recording and of various witness's testimony\, which raised certain leg
 al issues. At trial\, the accused took the position that he could not be h
 eld guilty of murder because his mental state did not permit him to form t
 he intention necessary to a finding of murder\; this necessitated complica
 ted instuctions to the jury in the face of conflicting testimony by medica
 l experts\; all this during intense media coverage\, probably the most the
  presenter had until then experienced.      About The Great Trials  IPLAI'
 s Great Trials lecture series considers a collection of history-making tri
 als across time and examines the social and political contexts in which th
 ey took place as well as their cultural consequences. The series takes the
  position that ‘law’ happens as much outside the courtroom as it does with
 in it\, and that each of these pivotal events stands as testament to the w
 ays in which constructions of authority\, law\, and justice have informed 
 cultural consciousness across centuries.  IPLAI is pleased to offer the le
 ctures in this series for CLE credit through the Barreau du Québec.  Where
