Back after a break now - and #MengWanzhou lawyer Mona Duckett is continuing her submissions with comparisons to other cases ... again - they're trying to convince the judge the US has lied to the court about key facts in the case
She's citing a 2003 B.C. Supreme Court case where a judge stayed proceedings when the United Kingdom sought a Victoria man for extradition in relation to an alleged conspiracy involving the sale of rare coins.
The man's defence lawyers determined that one of the chief witnesses had absconded, another had died, and prosecutors didn't actually know if another was available.
In granting a stay, the judge said it would be "unsafe" to rely on the record of the case.

Duckett asks how the judge will know if the wool is being pulled over her eyes? Says she relies fundamentally on the US diligence, their candour, their accuracy and their good faith in putting the information before her
