Pat King, an organizer of the 2022 convoy protest in Ottawa, is set to be sentenced Feb. 7.
Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland found King guilty on five counts in November, including mischief and disobeying a court order.
He was found not guilty on three counts of intimidation and one count of obstructing police.
King could be facing up to 10 years in prison, but his defence wants the sentence limited to time served and probation.

King spent five months in jail before being granted bail.
He spent more than another week behind bars after the Crown alleged that he breached his bail conditions.
King was one of the most prominent figures in the convoy protest that attracted thousands of demonstrators to Parliament Hill in late January 2022, fighting against public-health restrictions, COVID-19 vaccine mandates and the federal government.
The event gridlocked downtown streets around Parliament Hill, with area residents complaining about the fumes from diesel engines running non-stop and unrelenting noise from constant honking of horns and music parties.
