Well, that's fairly (what the judge appears to be feeling, I mean) unambiguous.

The judge explains that a reasonable doubt must come from the evidence, the judge said. "You must remember it is virtually impossible to prove anything to an absolute certainty," the judge said.

If you are sure the accused is guilty you must convict, but if you have doubt -- or even think someone "is probably guilty" but are not quite certain -- you must acquit, Horkins said.
by Laura Fraser 11:16 AM

Further...

The Crown faces a difficult bar of proof to meet, the judge acknowledged. Because there's no "smoking gun," no physical evidence that the prosecution can point to in order to support the witnesses.

Instead, the court must rely solely on the word of the witnesses, Horkins said.

But it's clear that each witness was "less than full and frank" in their statements to media, police and the court.

TORONTO — Ontario’s 2016 budget was sent to translators before public consultations were finished – which the opposition parties say is proof the process of seeking input was really a “sham” and a “charade.”

Yeah... I'm shocked.

APPARENTLY THE MEDIA'S WORKING THEORY IS THAT...

...THE COPS ARE PICKING OFF SAMMY'S HOMIES... ONE BY ONE...

" -- "'He was my baby. I know this will turn out like Sammy Yatim," the mother told VICE, making note that Alex was a good friend of police shooting victim Sammy Yatim, who was killed on a Toronto streetcar back in 2013." --

Listening to the family... and apparently that's where 99% of the current media narrative originates... it seems that Alex Wetlaufer was a model citizen...

-- "Since graduating high school, Alex had focused on working out, had recently completed the army’s required aptitude tests and was 'just waiting for the call', [brother] Michael said, adding that his brother was in peak physical condition.

Well, that certainly sounds impressive... working out for 3 years to realise a career ambition... inspired by your dead father, no less.

I'm pretty sure that most wannabe soldiers just show up and enlist, but what the heck. According to his brother, Alex was a focused, determined tough-minded individual. We're talking Luke Skywalker material here. Still, it's a little hard to fathom why this young man had been sitting around in Toronto's too often squalid Community Housing, waiting years to "get his soldier on."

When you cut to Alex's mother, she, not surprisingly, paints a somewhat different picture...

-- "'Wendy Wettlaufer, Alex’s mother, told CP24 that someone from the family was on the phone with him moments before he was shot. 'He was crying, saying that he’s being surrounded.'" --

Wait a minute... you're on the run from an 'armed to the teeth' SWAT Team... (why run and make yourself a target if you're an innocent bystander?) and then you stop and make a hysterical phone call to your mom... AND THEN she hears you being murdered? That sounds like the plot of a really bad movie.

She wasn't there, she didn't see, but hells bells, let's go with that anyway...

She 'believes' he was unarmed? Sweet Baby Jebus. Is this what they teach in J-School, or is it yet another example of CBC's "just phone it in" activism?

Perhaps, instead of career military, Alex Wetlaufer would have been more suited to social work... you know, play to your experience...

The family (Alex was one of ten children) has lived in the Toronto Community Housing neighbourhood for more than 30 years.

Of course, if Justin has his way, our military will all be turned into unarmed social justice advocates anyway.

LAST WORD: If the shoot was a mistake, it was a big one...

Three separate SWAT trained officers apparently felt Alex Wetlaufer was threatening their lives...

The civilian agency released new information Wednesday, confirming that three officers discharged their firearms during the incident, though it’s not clear how many times Wettlaufer was shot or which of the officers’ bullets hit him.

Unfortunately, unlike Alex's family, the officers are not permitted to speak about the incident...

The civilian watchdog says it cannot reveal whether Wettlaufer was armed because the investigation is ongoing. The vital piece of information may not be provided until the probe is completed, a process that typically takes several months, or up to a year.

UPDATE:  Here's a crazy thought... let's talk to somebody who isn't related to the deceased...

-- "Sources have told CP24 that the man was armed with a handgun when he was shot. He was rushed to hospital, where he was later pronounced dead." --

UPDATE2:  The other side of the story

-- "Toronto police officers from the force’s tactical unit negotiated with Alex Wettlaufer for at least 15 minutes before firing their weapons, killing the young man who a police source says was armed with either a real or replica gun.

And it appears as though he may not have been eligible to enlist in the military after all...

Court documents show Wettlaufer was facing three criminal charges at the time of his death, dating back to an October 2014 incident. Alongside three other accused, Wettlaufer faced one of robbery for allegedly stealing a cellphone and one count of assault causing bodily harm, for allegedly attacking two people.

Wettlaufer alone was charged with the unauthorized possession of a knife that opens through the use of centrifugal force — a weapon that requires a licence.

All of the charges against Wettlaufer were before the court at the time of his death." --

Dear Social Justice Warriors... I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that in, say... Fergus, Ontario, for example... being a "stylin' Pimp" is still a less coveted career choice than it is in, for instance, parts of metropolitan Toronto...Stereotypes...they gotta come from somewhere, right?

Higgins’s resignation came 10 days after a video circulated online through the Acadiana, La., ABC affiliate KATC in which he called for wanted members of the Gremlins gang to turn themselves in.

Addressing the suspected criminals, Higgins called the alleged gang-members “thugs,” “heathens,” and “animals.”

It's a brave new Care Bear world.

LAST WORD: I guess you just gotta believe

Last refuge of conformist cowards...

..."We were only following orders"...

Last month National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd testified that his agents have been told not to bother arresting illegal immigrants, meaning the migrants never get into the criminal justice system, and the administration’s numbers don’t look so bad.

Mr. Judd said illegal immigrants without serious criminal convictions have learned that by claiming they came before 2014 — without even needing to show proof — they can be released immediately.

Customs and Border Protection Commission R. Gil Kerlikowske told Border Patrol agents who object to President Obama’s amnesty policies that it’s time to “look for another job.” Mr. Kerlikowske even appeared to acknowledge problems with the demoralized workforce.

Just minutes before he told agents to quit, he had told the committee that he’s having trouble filling the number of slots Congress has funded.

WESLACO – The federal government will have fewer agents patrolling the border by next fiscal year.

Under the proposed budget released by the Department of Homeland Security, the agency is budgeting for 300 fewer agents in 2017 than they did for this fiscal year.

No wonder people are turning to Trump.

Hoofbeats, Horses & Zebras... again

I'm sure this makes me "A Bad Person™"... but when I heard reports of a woman meandering through the streets of Moscow with a bloody, dripping severed head, my thoughts most decidedly did not immediately turn to Lutherans, Jehovah's Witnesses or even those hateful freaks at the Westboro Baptist Church...Chalk up another one for the Religion of (Severed) Pieces.

A handwritten will by Osama bin Laden said he had a fortune of "about 29 million dollars" and that most of it should be spent "on Jihad," according to documents released by the U.S. government on Tuesday.

"bill elder says... US and NATO based black ops have their share of atrocities"

And Bill has a point...

Asked about the strike that killed 16-year-old American citizen Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, Robert Gibbs, a senior adviser to President Obama's reelection campaign suggests he should've "had a more responsible father."

Remember, this is the same President who freed Omar Khadr from Gitmo and shoved him down Canada's throat.

It would be unfair to blame religion. Most religious people tend to not be violent.

Hmmm... perhaps you need to do a little more research...

TORONTO - Toronto Police are hunting two suspects after the body of a man who had been shot was discovered in a BMW.

Bryan Agyei, 22, of Brampton, was pronounced dead after officers were called to Scarlettwoods Court, in the Scarlett Rd.-Eglinton Ave. W., area, around 11:30 p.m. Sunday.

Lest you imagine the violence was confined to Toronto's west end...

Officers arrived on scene near St. Clair Avenue and Pharmacy Avenue around 1:15 p.m. on Saturday.

Shafaq Joya, 30, of Toronto, will appear in court on Monday.

Remember back when you were a kid... and bodies were dropping all around you? Yeah, me neither.

Shocking numbers released by Toronto police show 2016 is off to a violent start.

The number of shootings in January has doubled what they were at the same time last year, and are nearly three times higher than in the first month of 2013.

UPDATE: The body count grows

Three murdered in four days...

The 29-year-old had grabbed a snack before his night shift at the local Wal-Mart. Around 10 p.m. he stepped outside, where two men were waiting for him. He was putting on a pair of headphones when the fatal bullet struck the back of his head.

Seriously... get out while you still can.

Forget about Trump

The real question is... "Why isn't there a wall in place already?"

"The Mexican government has placed six states on high alert following the theft of a vehicle with radioactive material. That alert comes less than a year after Mexico had an almost identical case."

Unbelievable.

One step closer to indictment.
