   John KingofthePaupers Turmel to All   
   TURMEL: Exemptee Dominic Gravel last Med   
   27 Mar 20 08:55:53   
   
   From: johnturmel@gmail.com   
      
   JCT: Back in early October 2018 before the Cannabis Act was   
   enacted, an exemptee was the second grower at the site of   
   another grower. They had an argument and the second guy cut   
   down the first's plants, put them at the side of the road   
   with the license permit and a video showing the plants being   
   tended, and called the police. Nasty!   
      
   He had an indoor-outdoor permit for around 150 plants but   
   the police picked up the evidence of 180 plants and two   
   years later, mailed him an indictment charging Production of   
   marijuana. Did they not notice the permit for the 150? They   
   want a fight over a 30-plant overgrow? Wonder if they were   
   clones? Remember, another Quebec Crown gave up on my   
   brother's 500-plant overgrow after 3 Provincial Court   
   motions, 3 Superior Court motions, 3 appeals and 1   
   application for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court? Before   
   plea.   
      
   If they had googled for Dominic's name, they'd have found   
   that on July 29 2004, he had been charged with one of the   
   biggest grow-ops in Quebec history, 6,000 plants! He was   
   denied bail. Then he filed my quash kit and after several   
   hearings, the Crown offered him a great get-out-of-jail deal   
   to quit fighting. He was quite the happy camper getting out   
   from pre-trial detention before Christmas and not facing a   
   life sentence trial. Imagine how that felt? From being stuck   
   in jail until the trial and then more, to getting out next   
   week for time served.   
      
   That was the only time I ever visited an inmate as his   
   counsel and not being searched. I'm not a lawyer!   
      
   His story starts Jan 23 2005   
   https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.fan.john-turmel/OD6ofe-12GU   
      
   Just search his name for all his court adventures.   
      
   But being charged just before the Cannabis Act in late   
   October 2018 means he is not charged under a new valid   
   legislation with a new valid exemption regime, he is charged   
   under the old legislation while there was a bad ACMPR   
   exemption regime.   
      
   So he gets to use the present Quash motion that the law   
   remains dead since 2001 because only Parliament resurrects   
   dead laws, not the Hitzig Court. Law Professor Alan Young   
   telling TV how the Court of Appeal resurrected the dead   
   prohibition may have reassured the dupes into thinking that   
   the Courts had the power to raise up dead laws but I know   
   Parliament's Interpretation Act says only Parliament has   
   that power, even if MedPot hero shyster Alan Young told   
   Canadians the courts could revive dead laws too.   
      
   His first appearance was slated for April 7 but everything   
   in Quebec has been delayed.   
      
   So fun stuff coming up. Like Brian and Linda in Ontario,   
   Dominic has only the single S.7 production charge that gets   
   him a jury trial. They can't drop it to rely on possession   
   charges below like they did for Tim McConnell and Luc   
   Paquette.   
      
   What are they going to do with this complete waste of time   
   on a jury trial for a 20% overgrow charge, 30 plants too   
   much!
