  5. Truscott decision tomorrow

    in Soundboard

    Posted

    tomorrow, one of the biggest miscarriages of justice in Canadian history will come to an end.

    in 1959, a 14yo boy named Steven Truscott was wrongly convicted of murder and became the youngest person ever to be sentenced to death. commuted to life in prison, and eventually paroled, he has been fighting to clear his name for years.

    the Ontario Court of Appeal will hand down its ruling tomorrow - the final ruling in this case. after years of legal battles, including an unprecedented win at the Supreme Court of Canada; an admission of guilt by another man; support from the victim's family; proof of police malfeasance; forensic evidence showing Truscott could not have committed the crime, and; the support of family, friends, legal experts from around the world, and complete strangers - including most of the City of Guelph, tomorrow's decision will be the final say.

    let's hope that some good still exists in our judicial system and a 50 year old wrong will be righted. my thoughts are with Truscott, his family and all those who care about justice in this country.

  6. home needed for a cat

    Posted

    my mother (who has alzheimers) recently had her cat taken away from her as the vets thought she was no longer capable of taking care of the cat.

    Im so sorry to hear about your mom's condition, amanda. alzheimers can be very tough. im concerned that her cat has been "taken away", though. admittedly, I do not know any details and I do not intend this to be critical of anyone's actions here as I know living with this disease is challenging for everyone. :) Im just wondering if it's at all possible for Samson to somehow stay with your mom, with CCAC or CMHA assistance. it would probably help your mom to have Samson there. all my best.

    So there I was in the bank with Steve Miller, and we had taken the money, but my trick knee went <bwang> just as we turned around to leave, and I ended up on the floor with the guards standing over me and Miller yelling at me, telling me what to do, and now I'm in prison, and Miller? He's off somewhere, free as a bird, flying like an eagle.

    hmmm, a novel eh? someone's making the rest of us look bad here. ;)
