Rob Ford's lawyer: Mayor might not have been smoking 'crack’ in video

By: Daniel Dale City Hall, Published on Fri Nov 01 2013

Mayor Rob Ford’s lawyer wants Police Chief Bill Blair to release the video of Ford — because, he said, it might show Ford smoking something other than crack cocaine.

Blair said Thursday the video recovered by police is “consistent” with accounts of an apparent crack video published by the Star and the website Gawker in May. Ford’s lawyer, Dennis Morris, suggested Friday morning that Ford could have been “smoking a cigarette” or marijuana.

“We have a gentleman who spoke to Toronto Star reporters. And if you were that gentleman, would it better to be saying we have the mayor smoking something like crack cocaine, or cigarettes or marijuana? Which do you think the press would be interested in? How much money can you get if someone said ‘I’m smoking marijuana or cigarettes’ as opposed to smoking crack cocaine?” Morris said to AM640 host John Oakley.

The video, which is brightly lit, appears to show Ford sitting in a chair inhaling from what appears to be a glass crack pipe. In May, Ford flatly said “there’s no video” and that he “cannot comment on a video I haven't seen or does not exist.”
