I can't speak for criminal trials, but I do know that in Tax Court(s) the Judge(s) can very often be quite critical in questioning of a given position in an attempt to be perfectly clear about what it is the presenter is saying. Don't think this is abnormal in any way, but it's curious that the reporting is somewhat different.
As an aside:
I also have to say that the woman at CBC who sat through the whole case (Kate Dubinsky) did an amazing job of presenting info -- hopefully she has care in place as I'd think that would have been a difficult task to take on. Because I could only sporadically get the LFP info I don't know if the same person covered it throughout.
