   TURMEL: Ray Turmel "over-grow" medpot charge withdrawn   
      
   JCT: In Nov 2012 Ray Turmel was charged with over-growing   
   his 98 plant limit by 475 plants. The Surete du Quebec were   
   nice and let him keep his big plants and only took the   
   little ones, not like in Peterborough where they destroyed   
   the big ones and left Gerard Faux with his little ones.   
      
   Still, Ray was facing a statutory mandatory year in jail.   
      
   During that time, Ray filed 5 motions to Quash which were   
   repeatedly struck from the roll for wrong reasons. They   
   wanted to get on with a Preliminary Inquiry into the   
   evidence before Ray's challenge to the indictment would be   
   heard, putting the cart before the horse.   
      
   Ray then went to Superior Court, dismissed for wrong reason,   
   appealed. Ray then went to SCQ a second time, dismissed for   
   wrong reasons, appealed. Ray then went to SCQ a third time,   
   dismissed for wrong reasons, appealed.   
      
   Then there were 3 separate hearings at the Quebec Court of   
   Appeal resulting in dismissal.   
      
   Last week, Ray filed an application against 2 wrong-reason   
   precedents to the Supreme Court of Canada and a new motion   
   to quash including all the reasons why they couldn't stop   
   him quashing before the Prelim.   
      
   Today, Ray received a call from the Crown announcing that   
   they would be withdrawing the charge on Monday.   
      
   So Ray's being added to the http://johnturmel.com/wins list.   
      
   And the Appeal against the two precedents still goes no at   
   the top!!! Har har har har har har.
