Well, he's obviously not the only one with a problem.-- OTTAWA -- The Supreme Court of Canada has restored a Nova Scotia youth's acquittal in a dangerous driving case because he likely did not understand what he was doing when he waived his right to have counsel and remain silent.Sorry... not good enough.
On a videotape watched by the Supreme Court bench, L.T.H. repeatedly said that he understood each right, and that he declined to exercise it.
He even signed a document to that effect.
This is Canada.
