“Justice”

The Federal Court says the RCMP must hand over solicitor-client information to the country’s national security review agency — allowing a long-stalled review into whether the Mounties mishandled the case of a Canadian convicted of plotting ISIS-inspired terror attacks in the U.S. to move ahead.

The case centres on a complaint from Abdulrahman El Bahnasawy’s father Osama El Bahnasawy, who alleged the RCMP played a role entrapping his son, now serving a decades-long sentence in a U.S. maximum security prison.

The reason I posted this link is to rekindle memories of a real RCMP entrapment case, they almost got away with an FBI style frame-up.

Keep this in mind as the CAF “Anti-Government” militia case unfolds.

RCMP entrapment of B.C. couple in legislature bomb plot was ‘travesty of justice,’ court rules

B.C.’s Appeal Court has upheld a ruling that gave a couple convicted of planting explosive devices on the grounds of the legislature their freedom in 2016.

In a unanimous decision released Wednesday morning, the Appeal Court sided with a B.C. Supreme Court judge who stayed proceedings in the terrorism trial of John Nuttall and Amanda Korody on the grounds that the police investigation was a “travesty of justice.”

Mike Smith played basketball at university, went to nationals a few times, and today is a successful executive in Halifax. But his charmed life was upended when his marriage collapsed and his access to his three children evaporated.

Seven years ago, he and his wife of nearly two decades had an intense verbal fight. His wife left the house, called the police and reported Smith had a mental health disorder. According to his telling, when they arrived he was given an hour to vacate the premises or face arrest. When he initially challenged the demand, one of the officers told him, “She wants to come home with the children.”

Where are they now?

In 2022, I wrote a rundown of the worst prosecutors in America. Three years later, it’s time to check in—where are they now, and how have public views shifted on them and the George Soros–backed approach of progressive prosecution?

First on the list is Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby. Elected in 2014, Mosby, I noted, “was one of the first prosecutors to campaign on a platform of de-prosecution, decarceration, and denouncing the police—indeed, the entire criminal-justice system—as racist.” In her first year in office, homicides in Baltimore surged past 300. They never fell below that level during her eight-year tenure.

The Government of Canada’s Indigenous Justice Strategy, released in March, promises to build a parallel criminal justice system for Indigenous people while reforming the rest of Canadian law to “address systemic discrimination.” It’s hardly necessary, considering how Indigenous people might even fare better in the criminal justice system than their white counterparts.

It is peculiar how the prosecution is doing so much of the heavy lifting for the defence in the trial of five former junior hockey players who’ve pleaded not guilty to a fistful of sexual assault charges.

Far be it for me to question trial strategy. I don’t believe myself to be smarter than a lawyer — which was the trap door that the complainant occasionally fell into during her nine days in the witness stand.

No amount of training could have protected disgraced karate instructor Jeff Doucet from the surprise attack that awaited him when he arrived at Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport on March 16, 1984.

Doucet was escorted through the terminal in handcuffs in front of a procession of TV news cameras.

Lurking by a bank of telephones with his back to the commotion, a baseball cap pulled down over his eyes, and a receiver pressed to his ear, was an incensed Gary Plauché. He had a score to settle.
