   JCT: Tim McConnell was in Superior Court to set up his   
   motions and jury trial. Justice Mandeville presiding.   
      
   But the lady Crown Attorney Bouchard started right off by   
   announcing they were dropping the S.7 Production offence   
   with the 6-month mandatory minimum that was to be heard by a   
   jury at Superior Court and were only going with the   
   Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking charge. So   
   Superior Court no longer had jurisdiction and the accused   
   should be sent below for his trial there.   
      
   And that's it. They pulled the same thing with Luc Paquette,   
   dropping his production charge to stop him from going to a   
   Superior Court jury!   
      
   Actually, after both Nicola Fontana and Adrian Stuerm had   
   jury trials while admitting all the facts, they knew Luc and   
   Tim weren't kidding about having a jury trial and so the   
   only way to avoid that costly procedure was to reduce the   
   charges because all our people are opting for the jury trial.   
      
   Still, it's nice to know that when someone opts for a jury   
   trial, they're better off reducing the charges! Har har har.   
      
   So Tim went back down to Cour du Quebec and it was Judge   
   Millar again. And once again, she simply set a trial date   
   for Oct 9 expecting him to have his motions heard on that   
   morning.   
      
   So if the charge is quashed, he'll have prepared a   
   constitutional motion with witnesses and his Defence for   
   nothing. And if the constitutional wins, he'll have prepared   
   his defence for nothing. No matter what, Millar is always   
   wasting time.   
      
   Don't forget, he had been permitted to get into the Superior   
   Court with his Certiorari motion in order to avoid Superior   
   Court issuing an Order of Mandamus that Millar do the Quash.   
   Now we're back below and may end up doing another Mandamus   
   if they won't hear the Quash motion before the trial.
