   JCT: This morning, I posted a note at my Facebook page:   
       Adrian Stuerm is still in jail. Seems he can't be   
       considered for release after 1/6th because the Crown   
       hasn't forwarded his file to the jail. Just like Health   
       Canada gets people by slowing down the paperwork. I'll let   
       you know when the file reaches the jail and then I'll ask   
       Crown Maxime Lacourciere why he took that long.   
      
   This afternoon, Adrian called Ray to say that he had been   
   offered early release if he abandoned his plans to file an   
   application to the Supreme Court of Canada for leave to   
   appeal. Of course, he was told to jump on it. Supreme Court   
   never lets us in so we may as well trade a threat for   
   something real.   
      
   The error of the Quebec Court of Appeal, ruling on the motion   
   wrong, is so obvious that it really doesn't need to be brought   
   to the attention of the Supreme Court. Besides, they've   
   rejected the dozens of Applications for Leave I've filed over   
   the years as not of national interest to he heard. Don't   
   really expect anything more from them anyway.   
      
   So Adrian will trade off the threat of appealing to the top,   
   nice to know they're afraid. Guess they don't realize that   
   Nicolas Fontana is in the Court of Appeal with the same appeal   
   grounds as Adrian had including the Charter Motion Adrian had   
   to give up because I cited the wrong MMAR regime. Though the   
   Quash Motion cited the right MMPR regime!   
      
   There's hope Adrian could be back with his family by end of   
   week. Though I wasn't aware that the Prosecutor had any say in   
   prison questions once he was in prison. But if giving up on an   
   appeal pleases the Crown enough to use back channels to   
   influence jailers, we'll take it.
