The Fixer

Honey Tan, Lawyer

The Fixer

Jian Ghomeshi’s fall from Canadian grace was swift and horrible - allegation after allegation of sexual abuse and choking surfaced and didn’t go away. The court of public opinion had judged him and found him wanting. But in the court where it counted, he was represented by Marie Henein - star criminal defense lawyer, brilliant legal mind, and strong feminist. He was acquitted. Marci McDonald’s profile of Marie Henein published on Toronto Life covers all this, and we pick it apart with Honey Tan, feminist activist lawyer.
