ET JURY NOM DES PARTIES: SA MAJEST​ LA REINE Plaignante, c. VALERY FABRIKANT Accus‚, COMPARUTIONS: Me Jean Lecours PROCUREUR DE LA PLAIGNANTE DATE DE L'AUDITION: LE 11 MAI 1993 FICHIER: 3208 P-5148 MICHEL DAIGNEAULT, S.O. TABLE DES MATIERES PAGE WITHOUT JURY 3 WITH JURY 12 EXPERT WITNESS: CLAUDE POTHEL Examined by Me Lecours 16 WITNESS: JEAN DION VOIR-DIRE Examined by Me Lecours 98 WITNESS DECLARED EXPERT Examined by Me Lecours 101 Cross-examined by Mr. Fabrikant 153 ​ PROCES - SUITE WITHOUT JURY THE COURT : I came in alone to settle one or two small housekeeping details before we commence. The article 672.28 of the Criminal Code reads as follows: "Where the verdict on trial of the issue is that an accused is fit to stand trial..." Which is the case here: "...the trial shall continue..." I'm editing as I go: "...as if the issue of fitness of the accused had never arisen." I interpret that to mean, and it's new law, I interpret that to mean that just as a "voir-dire" in the traditional sense, the fitness hearing is a separate hearing, and that the Jury must be instructed to disregard all of the evidence which has been heard during the fitness hearing. In this fitness hearing there was extensive evidence heard that may later, may well later bear on the Defense. I would be interested in hearing your views on that interpretation of 672.28 before I so instruct the Jury, it will be a very short instruction. Me JEAN LECOURS : My interpretation is that we shall continue with proper instructions from the Judge, in time, or right now. THE COURT : Yes, but simply... Yes, right now. Me JEAN LECOURS : To me it's crystal clear, it's black and white. THE COURT : That it is a separate issue, it is a trial within a trial, and that the evidence heard does not and cannot be considered on the trial of the issues. Me JEAN LECOURS : That's the way I see it. THE COURT : Mr. Belleau, is that how you see it too? Me BELLEAU : Oh well, insofar as the interpretation that you put on the section, I agree that it's, in parenthesis, an issue that should not contaminate the trial. THE COURT : The trial. Now... Me JEAN LECOURS : I think we should ask Mr. Fabrikant's opinion. THE COURT : I'm going to ask it. Now, Mr. Fabrikant, what is your view the same of article 672.28? MR. VALERY FABRIKANT : Well, I don't want to disappoint you but... THE COURT : But yes... MR. VALERY FABRIKANT : No, no, no, you would be disappointed very much if I say that I agree with you, therefore I do not want to disappoint you and I'm saying that I do not agree with you. THE COURT : All right. Okay. MR. VALERY FABRIKANT : So here we go. THE COURT : So what does that mean, that you feel what? MR. VALERY FABRIKANT : I feel very simple thing. If you remember, you were so concerned the Jury God forbid hear anything, let's say about torture in Pinel, that you sent the Jury out and you wanted witness to testify. Then you got even more scared, you didn't allow witness even to testify without the Jury. By using your logic, it would have been very simple, okay, Jury heard something, you just direct to disregard that the Jury forgotten this. No way, you understand that this is not how humain being works. You cannot just say: "Cross it out from your mind" and continue as nothing happened. This is not how human beings are. Therefore I bring to your attention that Jury has been contaminated to such an extent by evidence presented here that no matter what you say, they have heard that I am such a callous person who most likely to commit haineous crimes without having any remorse, and this is just, if it is in their mind, they would not be... hear properly any of my defense. They heard that I'm parano‹ac and I'm delusional about persecution, and all my defense is about persecution. If they think that this is just a fruit of my delusion, they would not take it seriously. So either... I don't know if there is any provision for such thing, we can kind of try some kind of issue of the Jury, or ask the Jurors to discuss whether they believe any of those allegations of psychiatrist. THE COURT : I will do no such thing. MR. VALERY FABRIKANT : Well... THE COURT : I will do no such thing. MR. VALERY FABRIKANT : I know. THE COURT : I'm sorry, you're completely wrong. MR. VALERY FABRIKANT : I am just asking if there is such thing, if there is no such thing, then my impression is that you should announce mistrial and commence anew, because no matter what you say to the Jury, they've heard all this, and it is just not in human power, and you are not a magician to erase it from their memory what they have heard, especially taking into consideration that you spent yesterday about forty (40) minutes repeating it all over again, without giving any criticism to what you were saying. Now yesterday you told them that I am such, such, such, such, such and such, according to Morisset. Now today you are going to tell them: "Okay, erase it all and we start in new, and everything is fine". This is not how human beings are. So I ask you to ask your own conscience -- well, I hope there is something there to ask, and I hope that something will respond to you that it is time to announce a mistrial. That's all. THE COURT : Thank you. First of all, when a special issue is ordered in the course of a trial, the code provides, that is, the Legislator who makes the law, not I, provides that the issue will be decided by the Jury, which has been empanelled to hear the case. First principle. I can't change that, that's the law of the land. Secondly, in dealing with a special issue, two elements must be proved. 1) the presence of a mental disorder, because absent a mental disorder there is no need for the Jury to go to the second question of whether it impedes the hearing, it impedes the accused's ability to defend himself or understand the proceedings. So, inasmuch as a special issue was ordered, it became imperative that, in the first place, the psychiatrists who were named, Lafleur and Talbot, discussed and testified on the question of mental disorder. They did, and they raised the question of personality problems. The matter, of course, could have ended there. I was in no way in error, in my view, in permitting them to testify on that; quite to the contrary, if I had not done so, there would have been no basis for the issue even to have been debated. You tell me that the Jury has been contaminated. I doubt it very much. I have more faith in human beings, perhaps, than you do. MR. VALERY FABRIKANT : Ha, ha, ha. Did I not prove otherwise? THE COURT: I'm speaking Mr. Fabrikant, it will be your turn. You proved nothing. I'm, in my view, I do not believe that the Jury has been contaminated. I underline that you were the one who elected to go in detail into the question of parano‹a and narcicism in your cross- examination of both Lafleur and Talbot, and you are the one who decided to ice the cake by bringing along Morisset, and having Morisset testify for whatever reason you gave, which, in my respectful view, and I did not say this to the Jury, was furious. Secondly, or thirdly... MR. VALERY FABRIKANT : What it means furious? THE COURT : Look it up. Thirdly, I agree there are those who hold the view that a Jury may find it difficult to put certain things out of their minds. You will find various Courts of Appeal, in certain circumstances, making the point. You will find the same Courts of Appeal making the point that it is sometimes difficult for Judges to put certain things out of their minds when they have to instruct themselves to do so. But by and large, by an large, our law recognizes that jurors in good faith will follow the directions of the Judge, just as Judges will follow their own directions to themselves. Parliament has made the jurors judges of fact. In my book that put them on every bit the same plane as any other judge who is sitting, whether he be deciding facts or whether he be deciding law, and to say that on one hand the judge is capable of putting certain things out of his mind but on the other hand jurors are not is pure ego‹sm, pure ego‹sm and nothing else, and furthermore the law foresees, particularly in conspiracy trials, it happens every day, that jurors are instructed in determining first of all whether there is a conspiracy to ignore a whole raft of evidence in coming to the initial decision as to whether there is a conspiracy, and only after, arriving at that particular point, may they take into account that evidence.

There were many times that individuals were inaudible because several conversations were taking place. Sometimes it was difficult to determine which man was speaking. If the editor could not determine the person speaking, it is written as CCC member.) EH: We have a special event today at Park Headquarters and that is the grouping together of CCC members who in fact saw the beginning of the CCC at Camp Lowe, Horseshoe Cove. Three of the seven people here with us can actually recall the early founding of the CCC. I would like to, actually our gathering today was inspired by one of the members, Mr. Joseph Whalen who came from Silver Springs, Maryland to be with us today. The remaining six people are mostly local people but who have also traveled quite a distance to be with us. Let’s introduce ourselves before we get really started.

Over a period of mere minutes, he shot twenty victims, one of whom was Anastasia De Sousa. Anastasia was shot twelve times at close range. She died of her injuries. She was 18. Had police not happened to have been close by, the carnage would have been much worse. The co-signers of this letter include Anastasia’s family, students who survived their gunshot wounds as well as our parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents, aunts and uncles – all of whose lives are forever impacted by this terrible event. Also include are family and colleagues of professors Phoivos Ziogas, Matthew Douglass, Michael Hogben and Aaron Jaan Saber who were shot and killed in 1992 at Concordia University. For the last decade and a half, a small number among us have been advocating for change with respect to the law that allowed a troubled and angry young man to have legal access to weapons that enable mass shootings. Anastasia’s mother Louise, survivor Meaghan Hennegan and her mother Kathlene Dixon who also witnessed the shooting, as well as Hayder Kadhim who survived a serious head injury have spent years lobbying Ottawa for tougher gun control, including a total ban on assault weapons like the Beretta CX4 Storm that shot all but 6 of the 78 bullets that were fired that day.

    TALES of the FIVE TOWNS by ARNOLD BENNETT

    TALES OF THE FIVE TOWNS By ARNOLD BENNETT First published January 1905 TO MARCEL SCHWOB MY LITERARY GODFATHER IN FRANCE PART I AT HOME HIS WORSHIP THE GOOSEDRIVER I It was an amiable but deceitful afternoon in the third week of December. Snow fell heavily in the windows of confectioners' shops, and Father Christmas smiled in Keats's Bazaar the fawning smile of a myth who knows himself to be exploded; but beyond these and similar efforts to remedy the forgetfulness of a careless climate, there was no sign anywhere in the Five Towns, and especially in Bursley, of the immediate approach of the season of peace, goodwill, and gluttony on earth. At the Tiger, next door to Keats's in the market-place, Mr. Josiah Topham Curtenty had put down his glass (the port was kept specially for him), and told his boon companion, Mr. Gordon, that he must be going. These two men had one powerful sentiment 004in common: they loved the same woman. Mr. Curtenty, aged twenty-six in heart, thirty-six in mind, and forty-six in looks, was fifty-six only in years. He was a rich man; he had made money as an earthenware manufacturer in the good old times before Satan was ingenious enough to invent German competition, American tariffs, and the price of coal; he was still making money with the aid of his son Harry, who now managed the works, but he never admitted that he was making it. No one has yet succeeded, and no one ever will succeed, in catching an earthenware manufacturer in the act of making money; he may confess with a sigh that he has performed the feat in the past, he may give utterance to a vague, preposterous hope that he will perform it again in the remote future, but as for surprising him in the very act, you would as easily surprise a hen laying an egg.

    JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ISSUES Vol. XL No. 4 December 2006 The More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same: Institutional Transfers Seen Through the Lens of Reforms in Russia Anton Oleinik Reforms in most post-Soviet countries did not lead, contrary to widely cherished expectations, to the emergence of democracy and a full-fledged market. On the contrary, the elements of democracy, however weak and imperfect they have been since the start of the 1990s, are progressively disappearing and leaving only the façade, if that, of formally free elections. The idea of “strengthening the vertical of power” (i.e., all important political decisions are to be made only at the highest levels of the state’s hierarchy), to use an expression that is popular in contemporary Russia, contradicts the principles of diversification and delegation of powers. Instead of market capitalism based on competition and private initiative, political capitalism emerges. “Profit is made through the state, via contacts with the state or under physical protection of the state” (Swedberg 2003, 60). The case of Yukos illustrates this. Once the major Russian oil company, its owners were prosecuted for fraud and tax evasion as soon as they lost their privileged relationships with state officials. There are two perspectives from which the unexpected outcomes of post- Soviet transformations can be viewed. First, they can be seen as country-specific The author is an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at Memorial University of Newfoundland (St. John’s, Canada). This article was initially written in the framework of a research project: “The Historical and Cultural Path-Dependency of the Transition Processes in Formerly Socialist Countries of the Baltic Sea Region and Its Significance for EU-Enlargement,” funded by VolkswagenStiftung.

    Rabbit, Run by John Updike

    Rabbit, Run By John Updike The motions of Grace, the hardness of the heart; external circumstances. -Pascal, Pensée 507 Boys are playing basketball around a telephone pole with a backboard bolted to it. Legs, shouts. The scrape and snap of Keds on loose alley pebbles seems to catapult their voices high into the moist March air blue above the wires. Rabbit Angstrom, coming up the alley in a business suit, stops and watches, though he's twenty-six and six three. So tall, he seems an unlikely rabbit, but the breadth of white face, the pallor of his blue irises, and a nervous flutter under his brief nose as he stabs a cigarette into his mouth partially explain the nickname, which was given to him when he too was a boy. He stands there thinking, the kids keep coming, they keep crowding you up. His standing there makes the real boys feel strange. Eyeballs slide. They're doing this for themselves, not as a show for some adult walking around town in a double-breasted cocoa suit. It seems funny to them, an adult walking up the alley at all. Where's his car? The cigarette makes it more sinister still. Is this one of those going to offer them cigarettes or money to go out in back of the ice plant with him? They've heard of such things but are not too frightened; there are six of them and one of him. The ball, rocketing off the crotch of the rim, leaps over the heads of the six and lands at the feet of the one.
