   JCT: It was a great day for Voytek Krzyz and a pretty good   
   day for Crown Andrew Brown at his Quash Motion in St Johns   
   Court in Newfoundland yesterday morning.   
      
   When I met Voytek, he was ready to go to court in the usual   
   casual clothes but I insisted he go get himself a suit and   
   show a little respect for the court. He did. So both the   
   Crown and judge had an easier time being courteous than   
   normal. It always pays off to show respect with good suit!   
      
   Crown Brown has delayed the original Quash motion with an   
   erroneous claim that there had to be a Notice of   
   Constitutional Question filed first. There was no   
   constitutional issue and I refused to let Voytek file one. I   
   was going to put Crown Brown on the spot against the Rogin   
   decision where the Crown agreed there was no constitutional   
   question.   
      
   The police served a notice on Voytek to go and have his Bail   
   Order amended to include the condition not to use the cell   
   phone that was accidentally omitted in the Bail Order. It   
   had been stuck off on its own page, condition 10, and may   
   have just been missed.   
      
   And Brown served a large Motion Record in Response to the   
   Quash too.   
      
   So the hearing started with Voytek asking for leave to amend   
   his Motion for Return of Controlled Substance to wherever he   
   happened to be legal. He didn't want to refile a new one   
   after the required 60 days to claim. But the Crown   
   consented.   
      
   As for the Crown objection to the hearing without Notice of   
   Constitutional Question, Crown Brown said he had   
   reconsidered and was prepared to argue against the Quash   
   Motion. So he deftly ducked out of the Rogin predicament.   
   Nothing smarter than admitting an error and moving on.   
      
   So all Voytek could do was ask for some time to prepare his   
   Reply which was granted. July 15 for hearing!   
      
   So Voytek had a great day and Andrew Brown had a great day   
   considering how he could have been bloodied had he put up a   
   fight on the lost causes.   
      
   So now everything is back to normal. Voytek is walking on   
   air after his courteous treatment by both the Judge and the   
   Crown. Remember, he once got his 6 pounds of pot back from   
   an Alberta bust, so, for him, it's not precedent!   
      
   Sad I won't be able twit "Keystone Krown" or "Newfie Crown"   
   Andrew Brown any more. I give the kid credit for digging   
   himself out of some pretty big holes.   
      
   But now I get to parse his response so it's back to   
   respectful but thorough beatings that his losing arguments   
   will merit.
