JCT: Pierre Drouin and Real Martin had their motions to
quash their S.7 cultivation charges and S.5(2) purpose of
trafficking charges on the basis that the Krieger decision
struck down the law dismissed by Justice Denis Nadeau in
Cochrane. Pierre's hearing was in English and Real had a
translator for French.
The Crown Bill Matwichuk argued that marijuana is only legal
for sick people since Parker and Krieger were sick. It's
hard to believe that professional lawyers can be so dense
but it's nothing new. The whole profession is dense to the
Krieger decision. After all, the Crown didn't put the
Supreme Court of Canada decision in the Criminal Code so it
doesn't count.
The hearing ran from 10am to 1pm and Pierre isn't sure why
the judge ruled that Krieger doesn't count in his 20 minute
ruling but is going to order the transcript of the decision.
Their pre-trials have been set for June 25.
His next step following in the same footsteps as the
Nielsens is his motion to prohibit the charges which can
then be appealed.
But since the Crown has used their own confusion when we
challenge all marijuana laws based on Krieger that Pierre's
going to start with only a challenge to the S.7 cultivation
section. There's no 30 days notice necessary so Pierre
should be booked well before his pre-trial in June.
I wonder how they judges who have heard of Krieger feel as
they condemn innocent people to improper convictions. Of
course, the judges who have heard of the Krieger decision
are the ones who'll have to someday be dismissed for
incompetence or corruption. After all, the wording of the
Supreme Court clear enough that S.7 has been declared
inconsistent with the Charter that corruption or cowardice
is easily argued.
Then again, haven't lawyers (all Canadian judges are
lawyers) been thoroughly discredited throughout most of
history? What's new when lawyers are found to be crooked?
Our own Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin was on the Krieger
panel and let 100,000 be charged without speaking up. If
your top judges are bent, what can you expect from below?
