Kristi Lee gives an honest and transparent update about why Part 2 of the Hockey Canada trial is taking longer than expected. 

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding as we take the time to cover this case with the care and thoroughness it deserves.

[Part 1 of 5] A special five-part series — Two extraordinary guests join Kristi to take you through one of the biggest scandals in Canadian sports history. They know what it means to survive not only sexual assault - but the trial itself. And you probably know their stories:

• J.B. - aka the "Ottawa woman" who testified against former Canadian musician Jacob Hoggard
• Kelly Favro - survivor and advocate from British Columbia who helped re-write Canada's publication ban laws. 

As the country reacts to the Hockey Canada trial verdicts delivered last week, J.B. and Kelly share what they saw unfolding, how it mirrors their own experiences, and what the public needs to understand about what victim-complainant “E.M.” may be living through. They also share eye-opening details about shocking courtroom tactics they've endured, and challenge us to rethink what justice really means. 

*Additional content warning: While not the focus of this episode, there is mention of graphic details of sexual acts, and suicidal thoughts. Please take care when listening.
