On trial days, Elizabeth Gallant arrives at the courthouse no later than 9:30 a.m. She pushes her walker across the parking lot, through the security scanner and into the third-floor courtroom reserved for the murder trial.
Gallant, 79, a slight woman with warm brown eyes, cropped white hair and a stooped upper back, has done this more than 100 times in the past 10 years, becoming a familiar face at the Brampton Courthouse.
