St. Ann's update- Jun. 19th, 2008: verdict rendering

-

How else to explain it I don't know. It was perfect. Not only our lawyers, Catherine in particular, but the lawyers for the city and province were as well acting as conduits of... God, really. Every second thing they submitted was, de facto, of benefit to us. There was nothing they could do, it really was not an adversarial process. Both teams were working for the supreme outcome. Right now the judge knows the corruption of the city (and the province) through the stands they took. The judge knows the implications of whatever ruling she will give... oh ya... we wrapped it up today. The entire thing is now in the hands of the court and the judge is reserving her ruling (I've been told that it could be anywheres between tomorrow and 8 months from now- I'll get to that momentarily). The acceptable ruling will be striking the anti-'temporary abode' bylaw and suggesting to the city that it would be in its best interest to set aside an area best suited for 'temporary abodes', now that all public access municipal 'property' is open.

On Saturday, the 21st, I will begin the part of the campaign where all parties involved will see perpetual focus on waiting for the ruling... if I go to jail, mayhaps they will be forced to release me when the bylaw is struck... or whatever... all I know is the threat of 8 months is too much... I would not let the judge have any moment where she thinks she can do anything else while she renders this verdict. She knows what she must do and perhaps even her life is in danger... apparently the 'Crown' IS a psychopath. I wonder what the process of declaring a state of emergency is?

I'll be back and forth around the courthouse lawn tomorrow, as people still might show up thinking there is still court happening.

I love you all and here are some links to some of the write-ups about the trial-
