You're an idiot. You have no actual knowledge, and you've offered
nothing at all helpful. I know the name of the prosecutor's office. What
I don't know is why the basis for the incredibly high charges is such a
closely-held secret, if there's nothing political about the charges.

State courts in the United States uses a legal system based on the English
legal system. What's Canada's based on, Somalia's? I found a Web page
of a criminal attorney in Toronto that refers to preliminary hearings,
but for all I know, Quebec has exceptional procedures.
