An Interesting Update on our Canadian Justice System

 Well, it's been a hot minute, hasn't it!

Things have been mostly quiet while Asshole appeals a conviction that he received back in late 2023. The system is slow and takes forever. While the conviction is under publication ban, his appeal is not. However I will avoid saying much more than that, as I don't want to risk mixing up what is and isn't under publication ban.

What I will say, is that given the number of convictions he has with me as the victim, that made him a repeat offender with the case that "concluded" in the fall of 2023.

As part of the appeal in that case, Asshole's infinitely smart lawyer has decided to have Asshole appeal his guilty pleas in my cases. Yep, you heard that right! In 2020 and again in 2022 Asshole plead guilty to Criminal Harassment, breach of probation, etc. Plead guilty because he knew that he was guilty.

Now, 4 years later, they are appealing those guilty please. If he does that, then my cases will be forced to go to trial, and I will have to testify. (I am assuming. With my luck, the Crown might not choose to proceed with trial, and just drop the charges. Fingers crossed that doesn't happen.)

The whole purpose of appealing a guilty plea from 4 years ago, is to reset the clock. If he is somehow acquitted of these charges, then he will no longer be considered a repeat offender.

It is absolutely disgusting that this is allowed to happen. When the court called to tell me the news, they were shocked as typically you have 30 days to appeal. Not 4 years!

Heck, the evidence has been returned, and is the basis of this blog! Thankfully, the evidence is well documented, and will be made available to the courts during the trial (if there is one.)
