JCT: Yes, I am saddened to think of every victim who did or is doing time under an invalid law. Especially our better know mdpot warriors like Rev. Mike.
But Marc, http://www.cyberclass.net/turmel/mpforms.htm has those Magic 27 words used for Inmate Appeals like Mike South used. It can't be such an insurmountable obstacle to get those 27 very ponderous words to him, can it? >Virgil Post #105 >Date: Jan 4 2005, 07:45 PM
V: Richard Cowan said he would address the issue of the MMJ laws in Canada and he has- http://tinyurl.com/4qfjh He was assisted by Philippe Lucas and he put Lucas's writing up on a seperate page- http://tinyurl.com/4vv4b
JCT: Not a word about Krieger in this up-to-date report to America. Har har har.
V: From reading the yahoogroups medpot, I have found out that Ed Pearson is not a lawyer. In his writing he indicates that the CDSA came about in 1995. Does anyone know?
I was moved by the message of Marc Paquette[ - http://tinyurl.com/4slyr - that follows: "ReverendTarzan, (Reverend Michel Ethier) one of our members, is in jail for a marijuana conviction since about 5 months. PLEASE, someone do something and get him out of that hell-hole!" Turmel says that 37 words can get him out and the forms are even at the prisons. Why does Marc Paquette that post the news articles at medpot not know how to get his friend out?
JCT: That's a real good question. And it's 27 words for our Grounds of Appeal: "Parliament has not re-enacted the necessary S.4 possession and S.7 cultivation prohibitions sustaining any imputed improper purpose since they were struck down in Parker and Krieger." Is this really all that hard? Mike just copied the words onto his Inmate Appeal Form, handed them in, showed he was no danger to the judge and got out.
Are there many other people are there out there who, if they had a friend in jail, would have difficulty helping their friend cope with getting the magic 27 words onto an Inmate Appeal? Here should be the extent of a telephone conversation:
Marc: Say Rev Tarzan, did you ask your superintendent for the Inmate appeals like Mike South?"
Tarzan: Yes, got them right here.
Marc: Have you filled out page 1 with the court info for a hearing in person?"
Tarzan: Yes, got that done right here.
Marc: "On page 3, where it says grounds of appeal, you now write down the "good-for-all-charges" 27 Magic words:
"Parliament has not re-enacted the S.4 possession nor S.7 cultivation prohibitions that sustain any imputed improper purpose since they were struck down in Parker and Krieger."
Tarzan: Okay, grounds of appeal filled out.
Marc: On Page 2, where it says: "APPLICATION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME: I hereby apply for an extension of time within which I may launch mmy appeal, upon the following grounds:
Marc: Now write under it your grounds:
"I only learned that the Supreme Court of Canada Krieger supported the Parker ruling that struck down Canada's marijuana prohibitions after I had been sentenced.'
Marc: Then beneath it, write down:
APPLICATION FOR RELEASE PENDING APPEAL: I hereby apply for release pending appeal upon the grounds I am no danger to my society.
Tarzan: Okay. my application for release pending appeal is done.
Marc: Now, just to scare them, also write:
APPLICATION FOR CONTEMPT CITATION: I hereby apply for an Order citing the Crown Attorney for contempt of court by knowingly enforcing an invalid statute.
Marc: That's so they're apologizing to you for your incarceration and letting you out without conditions any conditions attached.
Tarzan: Okay, application for contempt citation done.
Marc: Date it, sign it and hand it in and see what happens. ---
JCT: Okay, that's all that needs be said. It's enough I've built them the artillery, don't beg me to personally show everyone how to shoot. Next time you're on the phone, tell him about this conversation.
Call it the Magic 27 words of grounds and keep in mind that Mike South wasn't convicted under Parker's repealed Section 4 or Krieger's repealed Section 7. Mike was convicted under the Section 5 trafficking section and he has been released pending his appeal of Section 5 with Section 4 and 7 rulings!
Virgil: And how could someone like Marc not know somebody that would have acted on his request. What we have here is a failure to communicate.
JCT: Of course, I could go up north and visit him and tell him, or one of his friends can tell him on the phone. But it's now out of my hands. How does an online tuned-in activist like Rev Mike Ethier let himself get into such a scrape?
V: The commentary at MarijuanaNews is the article we have been waiting for. It calls for an effort to spread it across the Internet. JCT: I checked and the Richard Cowan Canada update mentions nothing about all the motions around the country challenging all the laws based on Krieger on Parker! No nose for news, I guess. Or he interviewed the wrong source.

Luv") >Subject: [MedPot-discuss] Hemp Store and Tarzan B: After court in North Bay, we stopped at the Hemp Store and dropped off a spare motion for the employees to look at and to show the general public. Brian knows them and we asked them to hand out little info cards about the Free Turmel motion online.
JCT: Great place to find victims who might be willing to fight back.
B: We then went over to the jail in time for visiting hours. It was great to finally meet the Rev Mike. Brian and I spoke to him today and he is still in good spirits despite his situation. He wishes everyone well and hopes to be able to join us (on the outside), very soon. He has declared his intention to bring forward a "get out of jail" motion and hopes to be getting the papers at the end of the week. All he is waiting for are are copies. He will file them as soon as he is able, and I wish him the best. Peace
JCT: Great. And remember that it seems to have helped speed things up by actually asking for a hearing on a specific date on your application for release pending appeal, especially if you find out when is Inmate appeal day. After all, they're going to give you a ride to Toronto.
So where it says: I hereby apply... you can add "I hereby apply on Inmate Monday such ?? date for...
Or you can just tick off "in writing," send it along and skip the stint in the Don Jail.
There's no reason anyone should be serving time in Canada or marijuana convictions that occured while the prohibitions were invalid. Right?
