As shown in earlier posts, 90% of all criminal cases in Canada are adjudicated through a plea-bargain. Presently these agreements are presented to the courts without the accountable signatures of the lawyers and the defendant. My proposed legislation, titled, “The Bill of Integrity,” requires these signatures be documented, which would enhance the integrity of the process. Most noteably, having the accused and the attending lawyers’ sign the document would make it impossible to mislead the courts on the substance of the plea. Absence these binding signatures to the agreement, (lawyers, defendant, and a sign off by the court) deceit and manipulation can purposefully undermine due-process if the sentence handed down differs from the discussion that brought about the plea.
Individual cases like mine, as highlighted in “Poor Man’s Justice, expose the tip of the ice-berg when it comes to the abuse of power by unelected officials. The most powerful of all government entities, the justice system has acheived this level of unaccountability more so than any other bureaucracy. Its unchallenged control over the legal process threatens society’s right to obtain fair and honest justice. In Canada and the United States, this heavy handed abuse of individual rights by these nation’s justice system’s have moved into the manufactured degradation of any segment of society that challenges this bureaucracy’s power.
Before we expose how this is happening on a larger scale, let us look back at how this formula works individually.
In my case__First came the Forensic Report…a demeaning government document put together for the court by a judical social worker. That was followed up by a hearing where the presiding judge allowed the man who I assaulted to take the stand without being sworn, stating it was only a formality not needed at a preliminary hearing. When false testimony was given without fear of perjury, my legal-aid lawyer allowed his untruths to slide, telling me he would make our case at trial.
After being held without bail for six months, waiting to have the truth exposed, I was told that the misleading innuendo in the forensic report used by the prosecutor had been edited as I had demanded. I was then offered a plea deal that would see me released at sentencing or shortly thereafter. Believing such was the case, at the sentencing hearing, the prosecutor made no mention of the offered plea and asked for an extended sentence. The judge, complying with the Crown’s request, sentenced me to three-and-a-half years on top of time served. Because there was no trial, the false testimony given by the victim during the preliminary hearing went unchallenged. And on appeal, (fully described in “Poor Man’s Justice,”) another government compensated defense lawyer allowed the deception to stand.
Abused and ridiculed for my stance against the justice system during my imprisonment, Corrections Canada and the National Parole Board denied parole at a first hearing. And over a year later, after acheiving full parole, I challenged the parole boards travel restriction that they had imposed that was based on the falsehoods in the forensic report. I did so by driving into the community and spending a day bowling with my children, who, with their mother’s knowledge, had permission to go with their dad into a neighbouring town. Duped into waiving an appeal on the suspension I received for this fatherly act. (As told to me by a parole supervisor, who stated that it was a minor infraction that would see me released in a matter of days if I waived the wait for a hearing) But with my signature of waiver in hand, my parole was instead revoked, but only after several weeks of condemnation and abuse for challenging the condition. During that period, Corrections Canada and the National Parole Board initiated two manufactured lies that later were exposed in court documents during a civil trial. The first lie said I had reluctantly waived my appeal, and the second, stated that I had been out in the community “plotting and seeking revenge.” while on parole…which was given as the reason for my suspension and revocation. (The truth of this deceptive reimprisonment is documented in my posts and in “Poor Mans’s justice.”)
After a year of incarceration, I was released on mandatory parole with six months remaining on my sentence. When my ties to corrections and parole ended, I conducted interviews with those involved in my case, some of whom were complicit in the abuse, and others who had unwittingly been used by the correctional service to support their false documentation. (These interviews and conversations are also detailed in posts at “dhmitchellbooks.com” and described indepth in the closing chapters of “Poor Man’s Justice.”
Panicked by news of the interviews I was conducting, my ex-wife’s family court lawyer, who had been prominate in using several court actions to dehumanize me with no chance of rebuttal, enlisted the aid of the same judge who had allowed my victim to give unsworn testimony on the stand five years earlier. Without merit, these new court actions accused of being threatening to others in the community. The judge, after declaring in open court that due to his involvement in my case he should not preside over this new hearing, had the hearing transfered to his home town, and in a quieter setting, banished me from the community, an action that took away close access to my youngest son. Fighting to have the abusive order dismissed, I was again betrayed by the justice system when three family court lawyers, one after the other, refused to expose the dishonest and abusive actions of the justice system. One went so far as to tell me that the courts had silenced me previously, and would never allow me to talk now…Later, I attempted to do just that in a civil suit.
The deception and manipulation initiated by the justice system was done with the same disdain for civil rights as it is today. This unchecked use of power by elite authority to silence dissent is a frightful attack on freedom that is becoming more evident with each passing day. In Canada, one need look no further than the reporter who was recently accosted by a suited R.C.M.P officer while attempting to obtain an answer to a question he had posed to Canada’s deputy prime minister. Positioning himself to interfere in the reporter’s effort to do his job, the officer, engaged in a blantantly dishonest act of protecting one of the nations elites. After initiating the intrusion, the offcier, surpported by a smirking sidekick, told the reporter that he was under arrest for assault. But after it was realized that the manipulative action that the officer had engaged in was caught on video, you see the equally dishonest attempt by the justice system and a compliant mainstream media to dismiss the abusive act. It was executed with the same arrogance and disdain that was on display in the video.
And who can forget the 2021 truckers convoy in Ottawa. This act of defiance so panicked the elites that the Prime Minister evoked the emergency measures act against the protesters. This action was deemed over the top by most citizens, yet the group-think mentality of politicians and bureaucrats feasted on promoting fear amongst the people, doing so with expectations that it would demonize the truckers in the eyes of the public. And in the United States there is currently an emerging battle between ideologies. Confrontations between self-determination advocates and globalists are on the rise in the U.S. Threats to parental rights, unbelievably, have become a topic of discussion in some circles of the justice system. And the saga of Donald Trump should send chills down the spine of anyone who treasures democracy. WHOA, you say! Listen closely!! Liking or depising the former president of the United States is not the subject of which I speak. It is irrelevant! What I am speaking of is the power brokers in the U.S. bureaucracy who have shown no fear of dangerous repercussions from the public as they attempt to take away the rights of millions of citizens who want to vote for the candidate of their choice. In fact, a single bureaucrat from the justice system in Maine has unilaterally attempted to remove Donald Trump from the presidential ballot. A bigger threat to democracy is hard to imagine, and not surpisingly, it is coming from a judicial elitist.
In the posts ahead I will be talk about my two newer books and other subjects, but will continue to expose the justice system’s abuses as the exist and arise. I am at this point, working on laying out the scope of my next book, and with that in mind, additional posts may be more scattered. Thank you for listening, and until we talk again, stay safe. David.
