  In 2004, his charge was stayed after Hannibal's lawyer, David Butcher, successfully argued the case had taken too long to get to trial. (Under section 11b of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, a defendant is guaranteed to have his or her trial within a "reasonable amount of time.")
  
  Butcher argued some 39 months had passed from the date of the alleged offence to the trial because of tie-ups by the RCMP and the federal Solicitor General over funding for Hannibal's defence.
  
  Crown prosecutors appealed the provincial court judge's ruling to stay the charge and, earlier this year, won the case, then Butcher appealed to B.C.'s highest court.
