Thanks. I didn't mean to link to the MSN version of the article.
Oh! I totally missed the link in your postThanks. I didn't mean to link to the MSN version of the article.
It looks like Mantha is still going to stand trial despite the stroke. CTV News
I don’t know. His defense lawyers make a valid point. On the other hand I wouldn’t put it past Mantha to be faking having no voice.
“At times through the hearing and on breaks, Mantha addressed the judge and his lawyer, making little trilling-like noises that did not resemble words.
Mantha's lawyer Marc Crerar flagged concerns about his client's inability to communicate verbally with counsel and his inability to testify in his own defence.
"That issue needs to be fully explored," said Crerar.”
He can't write on a notepad?
hmm
According to Smith's findings, Mantha "appears to have found efficient ways to communicate with his peers," but there are also concerns he's communicated with remand centre medical staff by writing, "albeit sometimes nonsensically."
how did the psychiatrist find him 'fit to stand trial' if he's communicating nonsensically sometimes?
If he is capable of communicating sensibly on more than one occasion since the stroke, then he can communicate sensibly.hmm

Yeah, I'm inclined to think that's he is exaggerating his symptoms post stroke.IMO he’s just playing the system by creating delays and more delays. First he dismisses his legal aid lawyer for not being fluent in French while demanding his trial be conducted in French, then he fires his lawyers midway through. Next he’ll be trying to have his charges dismissed due unreasonable delays (Jordan Application). He a con artist through and through. MOO
