Sortie remarquee d'un juge sur le cannabis: plainte a la
magistrature

Des odeurs ont envahi le palais de justice
de Gatineau mercredi.
"Psychedelic odors invade the Gatineau Palace of Justice
Wednesday"
Devant l'edifice Jos-Montferrand, une dizaine de personnes
ont manifeste pour la legalisation du cannabis. Dans le lot,
un militant bien connu, Raymond Turmel, espere que sa fille
sera acquittee de possession et de production de marijuana
en s'appuyant sur de recentes decisions de la cour.
"In front of the Jos-Montferrand building, a dozen people
demonstrated for the legalisation of marijuana. In the
group, militant Raymond Turmel hopes his daughter will be
acquitted of Possession and Production of marijuana by
relying on recent decisions of the court."
Raymond Turmel s'est fait connaitre au debut des annees 2000
en devenant l'un des premiers a obtenir un permis de
consommation de cannabis a des fins therapeutiques.
"Raymond Turmel got known at the start of the 2000s by
becoming one of the first to obtain a permit for use of
marijuana for medical purposes."
JCT: Actually, he was known for being busted for growing it
for his ailing wife. It took him 10 years to get an
exemption. And he was later busted for over-growing 500
plants in which the Crown got ground down by 10 different
motions all the way to the Supreme Court and gave up. And
they think busting his kid is going to be easier?
Sa fille Marie-Eve a ete arretee cet ete avec trois grammes
de marijuana et trois boutures de la plante. Cette derniere
n'a pas de permis pour posseder du cannabis, contrairement a
son pere.
"His daughter Marie-eve was arrested with 3 grams of
marijuana and 3 clones. She did not have a permit to
possess, unlike her father."
Pancarte a la main, le personnage colore avait au bout de
son collier un impressionnant sac rempli de cocottes de
cannabis.
"Placard in hand, the colorful character had around his neck
a tie made up of an impressive baggie will with cannabis
buds."
Avant la comparution de sa fille, le militant profitait de
l'ouverture des portes par les passants pour souffler sa
fumee a l'interieur du palais de justice.
"Before his daughter's appearance, the activist profited by
the opening of the courthouse doors by those entering to
blow smoke into the Palace of Justice."
"I just stood there and waited for the door to open," said
Raymond Turmel. There a vacuum, and others get to smell it
within the building. I like that, smoking up the building so
everyone knows I was here with my baggie."
M. Turmel se dit inspire par les recentes declarations du
juge de la Cour du Quebec, Pierre Chevalier, qui a qualifie
les lois sur le cannabis de . Cette
declaration, faite au palais de justice de Gatineau dans un
dossier de production de trente plants, a d'ailleurs cause
une commotion dans le milieu judiciaire. L'accuse d'alors a
recu une amende de 1$.
"Mr. Turmel is inspired by recent declarations of Court of
Quebec Judge Pierre Chevalier, who qualified the laws on
cannabis as "antiquated and ridiculous." This declaration,
made at the Gatineau Palace of Justice in the case of
production of 30 plants, also caused a commotion in judicial
circles. The accused was fined $1."
""The law is dead according to Judge Chevalier," said
Raymond Turmel. Even if the Crown goes on appeal, we'll be
there to defend."
Mercredi, la juge Anouk Desaulniers a entendu une partie des
arguments de la fille de M. Turmel. La magistrate lui a
propose de remettre a une date ulterieure, etant donne la
complexite de sa demande. Le clan Turmel veut faire declarer
inconstitutionnelles certaines dispositions de la loi sur le
cannabis. Le pere est entre dans le palais de justice avec
son sac rempli de cocottes vertes. L'odeur etait facilement
perceptible dans la salle de cour.
"Wednesday, Judge Anouk Desaulniers heard part of the
arguments of Mr. Turmel's daughter. The magistrate proposed
putting it off given the complexity of the motion. The
Turmel clan wants to declare certain sections of the law on
cannabis unconstitutional. The father entered the Courthouse
with his bag full of green buds. The odor was easily
perceptible in the courtroom."
Le clou de la journee
"The nail of the day"
La juge Desaulniers a finalement annonce qu'elle se
recusait.
"Judge Desaulniers finally announced that she was recusing
herself. "To be transparent, I would indicate, and your
father will remember, that I was the Crown Attorney in the
case where he was accused. I'm going to recuse myself.""
Mme Turmel a dit comprendre, et a aussitot demande a faire
ses representations devant le juge Pierre Chevalier. Ses
propos ont provoque un eclat de rire generalise chez les
procureurs de la Couronne et les avocats de la defense
presents.
"Ms. Turmel said she understood and immediately asked if she
could make her motion to Judge Chevalier. That proposal
provoked a general burst of laughter among the Crown
Attorneys and Defence lawyers there."
A l'exterieur de la salle de cour, M. Turmel a admis,
sourire en coin, qu'il avait remporte ses elections avec la
