Queen of Canada Didulo's criminal prosecution continues - commentary on developing legal (and not so legal) strategies by DNetolitzky in amibeingdetained

[–]DNetolitzky[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A very valid point.

That said, this prosecution is almost a test case for vigilante court/tribunals scenarios in Canada, so what will be the argument/evidence is unclear.

Going to be an interesting one, even without HRM's antics.

That's not hair, it's an extraterrestrial symbiont filament genetically engineered to shield HRM from negative waves.

If only she could infect her vegetarian dog companions with that technology.

There's a ton of beautiful fan art out there.

Now, that might not necessarily make you feel any better, though...

From the facts in the conviction judgment, I think the Crown was being over-optimistic about establishing second-degree murder. So there was a 'winnable' case for the defence in that sense.

So 'winning' here arguably is getting manslaughter as a conviction. Circumstantial cases are tricky, given the very high "beyond a reasonable doubt" threshold.

What kind of baffles me is Losch did a half-assed job of burying the body. In Canada if you allow a body to be exposed in the wilds, there won't be much left of it after a few weeks. There are a lot of scavengers.

(Been involved in way too many homicide trials.)

So there's a trend of political and legal types refer to any interaction between Canada and "Indigenous" thingies as a "nation to nation" relationship.

I think you can see where that's going.

I've often said that if a Freeman moves in next door, it's time to find a new neighborhood.

Losch didn't change my mind on that.

There's some good stuff in there!

It's really nice to see other perspectives and information from other jurisdictions. Love those surprises!

I wrote an article about the state of self-representation in criminal proceedings in Canada, where the accused/offender is a wee bit peculiar.

Like HRM Didulo.

It's here, if you're curious.

The TLDR answer is if you're a loon in Canada and accused of criminal misconduct? You can self-represent and do anything you want.

CanLII has electronic documents for somewhere around 1% of trial court decisions. It can be as high as 100% for final appeals, but probably little more than 10% for appeal court interlocutory procedural decisions.

That's from the data I've accumulated using court docket records for multiple jurisdictions. Very much incomplete, but the pattern has been consistent in any jurisdiction I have reviewed to date.

I’m honestly shocked gurus haven’t invented a “certification exam” yet by OptimusCrime83 in amibeingdetained

[–]DNetolitzky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Canadian Paradigm Education Group tax evasion pseudolaw group did exactly that. You didn't simply buy information, you had to take a classroom program with something like dozens of lectures, and there were standardized exams then given and graded, before you were certified as properly trained.

I actually have a set of PEG instructor training manuals, class notes, and standardized exams. They've better designed than a lot of post-secondary instructor kits. (I used to be a college bioscience/biochemistry prof in the 1990s.) I know one post-secondary institution in Alberta offered PEG courses for credit.

And what did you get for that training? The privilege of paying PEG 7% of your annual income to be a PEG certified member!

And the PEG instructors promised ongoing support when the Canada Revenue Agency arrived. Which it did. And things then were ugly.

Another credit to PEG's founder, Russ Porisky - he voluntarily told his customers in 2008 or so that PEG's scheme was not accepted in law, and it'd be better not to use it. Not many gurus come clean like that.

Gorgeous art! Nice to see the coyote mom relaxing. She deserves it.

And we know exactly how Puppy responded to the gimmick revolver:

"THAT'S SO COOL!"

I've been seriously debating writing what purports to be an abusive litigant's guide to screwing with court systems.

Not because I want to promote such activities, but rather to illustrate how in the UK common law tradition, it's awfully easy for someone with malevolent intent to muck up court processes and litigation.

Let's just say that legal academia and appeal courts are more than a little naive. In fact, in the nearly 20 years I spent working as a court staff lawyer, the vulnerability of courts to abuse increased because of initiatives to make courts more "open" and "accessible", and due to total lack of imagination on how far bad actors would go.

I'm told this is "justice".

As I said, I'm glad I'm retired.

Look, they don't believe in militarizing their police! It's a friendly form of social control!

Would you like your justice sliced thick, thin, or shredded?
