Hartman's lawyers argued he suffered from sexsomnia, had been asleep at the time of the assault, and was unaware of what he was doing. A judge rejected that defence and found Hartman guilty once again, but he launched another challenge, arguing his right to a trial in a reasonable timeframe had been violated. Ontario Court Justice Kimberly Moore rejected that argument in a Brockville, Ont., courtroom Wednesday morning and Hartman's sentencing hearing began. He appeared emotionless after the judge rejected the Jordan application. The judge said she hopes to deliver a sentence once court resumes at about 2 p.m.
