Thank you for the new thread. It's needed! Please post the link here.
Speaking of overlap between cases, I see new charges in Belleville's jurisdiction. I really wonder now why a subpoena was issued for Deborah Rashotte as a witness in a "violent assault" case, information that became public knowledge only this week. Deborah had family in Tweed and Belleville, and relatives who owned businesses in both places. These businesses interacted with CFB Trenton.
I also learned this week that buses from CFB Petawawa regularly stop at Tim Hortons in Tweed before heading to CFB Trenton to board planes for missions for overseas missions. I assume this was also the staging area when troops shipped out to the U.S. early this year for training prior to heading overseas.
Legal beagles, I have some questions. What happens now, if RW is linked to other cases involving crimes ranging from attempted B&Es to murder? Could the current process involve pleading guilty to the existing charges in exchange for having all future charges dropped? As we saw in the missing women cases in Vancouver, only certain cases went to court. However, this leaves the families of the victims out in the cold. Families of victims need to experience justice in their eyes, even though the maximum sentence for all crimes collectively would be life in prison without chance of parole for 25 years. Families need to see that their loved ones are not written off by the justice system, no matter how much the accused wants to get it over with.
P.S. From this:
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news...o-plead-guilty-to-all-charges/article1551083/
"More than half the charges – 46 – involved unlawful entry to homes in Tweed, where Col. Williams lived during the week in a lakeside cottage after assuming command of the Trenton air base last July.
They comprise 36 counts of break, enter and theft; seven counts of break, enter and theft with intent to commit an indictable offence; and three counts of attempted break-and-enter."
That's an awful lot of B&Es for such a small place.
"Thirty-two charges involved burglaries in Ottawa, all within the residential Fallingbrook area."
And they moved into the Fallingbrook home how many months ago? The end of December, 2009?
"After the colonel’s arrest, three days after a Feb. 8 spot check at a Belleville police roadblock, dozens of items were allegedly found in the garage of the Westboro-area Ottawa home Col. Williams shared with his wife."
When was that subpoena for Deborah Rashotte to appear as a witness in a "violent assault" case issued? Sometime on or about February 11, 2010? Why the Belleville police for the roadblock?
