I am not familiar with the legal proceedings of the Canadian court system,
but I do have the following questions;
Will this mom's travel; and accommodations be provided?
It is my understanding that in US courts, the witnesses wait in a separate
room until their turn to testify. It seems that accommodations could be made
for someone to travel with this mother to keep her baby while she is
testifying, and then the baby could remain with her when she is not. It also
seems that if her testimony was lengthy, and the babe needed her, a short
break could be accommodated.
I am not a Legal professional, these are just my initial ideas on this
situation.
