A judge is expected to deliver a decision on a bail review for “Freedom Convoy” organizer Tamara Lich today.

The Medicine Hat woman was arrested on Feb. 17, charged with counselling to commit mischief. She has remained in custody after being denied bail.

Last week, a lengthy bail review hearing was held to determine whether the previous judge made a legal error or whether Lich’s material circumstances had changed.
