On February 7 2001 I was sentenced to spend seven months effectively incarcerated, under house arrest, for defaming a Revenue Canada agent.

I was charged under section 300 of the Criminal Code of Canada, dealing with publishing known to be false. Throughout the entire case the Crown brought no evidence to prove that what was published was actually false.

At the preliminary hearing, the presiding judge did not require any evidence to be brought forth showing that what had been published was in fact false, and so he committed me to trial simply because, in his opinion, I had posted the information in question.

At the trial, {the trial judge}-PLATANA-;{told the jury}; that the Crown had brought {no evidence as to falsehood}.

In my closing statement to the jury I also reminded them that no evidence was entered, and I was innocent, but the jury convicted me anyway.

With what the judge said, surely he should not have left the matter with the jury in the first place.

In speaking to sentence, I requested that It be discharged, because no evidence had been brought to prove that a crime was committed. The judge knowing I was innocent then effectively put an innocent man in jail.

Is there no justice in Canada? Putting innocent people in jail is a criminal act! Ask the International Court of Justice at the Hague.

And now how should these guilty people ( police, prosecutes, jury's and judges ) be made to pay for their crimes?




Yours sincerely,

Calvin Cumberland {{Captain Chaos}}
