To date, 30 people have been charged with a total of 77 charges related to the riot, which broke out after the Vancouver Canucks lost the Stanley Cup final to the Boston Bruins June 15.

The lawyer for a man who admitted taking part in the Stanley Cup riot in Vancouver says he will be opposing an application that would allow cameras in court.

The sentencing hearing for Ryan Dickenson has been delayed while lawyers prepare their arguments over cameras.

His lawyer, Eric Warren, told a provincial court judge he's not even sure yet if legal aid will pay for his court time related to the camera argument.

Mr. Dickinson pleaded guilty to participating in a riot and breach of recognizance in connection to violating a court order for a previous assault charge.

He's the first person convicted for taking part in the June 15 riot that erupted after the Vancouver Canucks lost Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final to the Boston Bruins.

The B.C. government has said it wants cameras in court so the proceedings can be televised.
