JCT: Last post, I told you that a clerk sent Pierre Drouin's
and Real Martin's documentation back becaue her legal
opinion was that their pre-plea applications had to be heard
at the trial. Of course, like most free opinions, it's worth
what they paid for it, nothing.

Still, in yesterday's court, her and the Crown Bill
Matwichuk said they could not file his motion until he had a
trial date set and stalled his case off to March 4 to pick a
date. Once he has a date, then he can do the motion. Then
the Crown said he'd want 3 months to study it after March 4
2004.

I assured Pierre that the maximum the Crown can stall is the
30 days notice so he's going to be filing his application
again for Dec 17 in Cochrane. If the clerk refuses to file
it because it contradicts her worthless legal opinion, it
will just be handed up to the judge on the day of the
hearing.

Pierre will get to explain how the Crown has been served for
30 days and an ignorant court clerk is the reason the judge
didn't get the documentation earlier but luckily, it's a
short, simple motion that can be explained in minutes. So
the ignorant clerk won't have hurt the applicant's
proceedings too much.

Regardless, when they submit their renewed papers, they'll
have to document how the ignorant clerk has caused all the
problems. Boy, does she deserve a dressing down in public.

I hear things went much better in Elliot Lake for Richard
Johnson and family.
