@BertaBSDetector @Polit_Bro @ConsumerSOS I think fundamentally your confusion is that you’re presuming a crime occurred. (Not talking about this case in particular but generally) … If the only potential witness doesn’t remember the crime — then what would make you believe there was a crime to “get away with”? You see?

[Jordan Gold @JGoldLaw]

@BertaBSDetector @Polit_Bro @ConsumerSOS First, there is a difference between credibility and reliability. Second, the jury isn’t going to think a mistake about a small detail means somebody is lying about everything. Not sure why you think the jury would be fools but you can see the truth

[Jordan Gold @JGoldLaw]

@BertaBSDetector @Polit_Bro @ConsumerSOS Juries are equipped to make appropriate conclusions about credibility and reliability. Your blanket point that it’s inappropriate or “sleazy” to challenge the memories of a person who drank makes no sense. If an small inconsistency is attributable to alcohol a jury can ignore it

@IanKennedyCK 1st: they are not lawyers for Hockey Canada, but represent the individual accused. 2nd: lawyers cannot suggest a fact if they do not have a good faith basis to do so. 3rd: they are legally REQUIRED to suggest alternative evidence if it is going to be presented later at trial.

@rwesthead The Crown's opening about 'going along' with what the men wanted raises an interesting question about consent in the law of sexual assault. A brief explanation of the law: https://t.co/lf537aBhBI

A deadly infection is spreading through Ontario’s most crowded jail. The local public health unit confirms two people are dead.

The Ministry of the Solicitor General did not respond to the Star’s questions.

@Irunnia_ @nypost It’s almost definitely not because he is “too guilty” or the crimes too bad. It’s almost definitely some sort of conflict which can means lots of different things.

@adamweisberg @PJJMD @JesseBrown Yes, I think it’s a Zionist psyop account to make ‘anti-zionists’ seem like anti-semitic clowns

@jpapi997 @PierrePoilievre Self defence is very much a valid legal defence in Canada

[Nader R Hasan @Nader_Hasan_law]

In a system where delay continues to reach epidemic proportions -- where a "speedy" trial is deemed by our highest court to be 29 months -- bail is functionally necessary to ensure that the presumption of innocence is not mere lip service.

Ontario prisons are in a state of crisis. Sending more innocent people to them is not the answer. Here are what Ontario court decisions have to say about the shocking and inhumane conditions in pre-trial detention:

Important case that may come to the @SCC_eng. The power in R. v. Ladouceur to randomly stop vehicles without suspicion of an offence was codified in Quebec statute. That statute was found unconstitutional by Quebec's highest appellate court.

R. v. Beal, 2024 ONCA 739 at para 5: HBMBCC to sexual assault: reasonable steps is relatively elevated for intercourse. But the judge is allowed to assess the accused's *entire conduct* to disbelieve that he sought verbal consent at the intercourse stage.

[Chris Sewrattan @SewrattanLaw]

R. v. Shabbir, 2024 ONCA 750 at para. 34: Trial judges should give this instruction if the accused’s motive to lie is raised at trial, whether by the Crown, co-accused, or the trial judge, and no exception to Laboucan’s general rule applies.

Peace.
Normalization.
Nothing less.
Not a false cease fire.
Not a useless UN resolution.
Not a worse than useless UN "peace keeping" force.
The fighting has to end with a full, parliament approved peace and normalization agreement between Lebanon and Israel.
That is the vision.

@lpmi @aaronjmate @lpmi maybe focus more on truth on less on your perceptions of who is 'in power'
