OTTAWA - CTV鈥檚 Ottawa Bureau Field Producer Philip Ling has attended every single sitting of the Mike Duffy trial since it began, listening to countless hours of arguments and testimony.

Here鈥檚 a breakdown of what he鈥檚 seen:

  • More than 1 year since the trial started on April 7, 2015.
  • 64 days of court sittings (including today).
  • 54 Crown witnesses.
  • 1 Defence witness: Mike Duffy himself.
  • 8 days of testimony from Mike Duffy 鈥� the longest for anyone in the witness box.
  • 7 days of testimony from Nicole Proulx, the Senate's top financial official at the time of Duffy鈥檚 alleged crimes.
  • 3 former Prime Minister鈥檚 Office staffers who served as Crown witnesses: Nigel Wright, Benjamin Perrin and Chris Woodcock.
  • 18 days of questions to then-Prime Minister Stephen Harper about Mike Duffy by reporters during last year鈥檚 election campaign.

  • 1 senator -- other than Duffy 鈥� who testified: Sen. George Furey.
  • 1 F-bomb dropped during the trial, as Mark Bourrie read aloud Internet comments written about Duffy. (Although Donald Bayne did quote Bourrie鈥檚 testimony later in the trial, so that might be two F-bombs dropped).
  • 1 bible verse: Matthew 6:3, quoted by Nigel Wright.
  • 3 times Justice Charles Vaillancourt stopped and scrummed with reporters.
