Today could mark the start of another week of twists and turns in Toronto Mayor Rob Ford's crack cocaine scandal.
A video that is alleged to show the mayor smoking crack cocaine will be in a Toronto courthouse as a judge considers an application from lawyers for a man seen in a notorious photo with the mayor.
Ford is seen posing in the photo with Anthony Smith, who was later shot and killed, as well as Mohammad Khattak and another man, who have both been charged in Project Traveller, a sweeping drugs and weapons investigation.

Lawyers for Khattak are seeking access to the video, arguing their client's reputation is being harmed by being associated with it.
Ontario Superior Court Judge Ian Nordheimer ordered the Crown to bring the video to court today, when he is set to make his decision on whether he or the lawyers should view it.
Nordheimer is also expected to rule this week, as early as today, whether remaining parts of a document that shed light on Ford's relationship with Alexander Lisi, an alleged drug dealer who is also his friend, can be released.
