Can’t emphasize enough how unusual this is. For a mistrial to happen twice, with two different juries, about the behaviour of the same lawyer both times…. And now the defendants have re-elected to judge alone… There’s something very odd here.

DC playing up the β€œdumb hockey player” angle here. But these are grown men, with professional jobs where they dress + act accordingly. They show up to games in suits + regularly address the media. Showing up to court in a hoodie + refusing to answer Q’s is a deliberate tactic.

Days like this make it hard to be a lawyer and feel good about it. All support to EM. This system was never set up for victims. This is why people don’t come forward + why conviction rates are so low. We badly need reform. Grateful for the ongoing work of Federal Ombudsperson for Victims of Crime (Office) on this.

This WJH trial has demonstrated in explicit, horrific detail, why victims and survivors of SA don’t come forward. Please sign and share this petition to let EM know she’s not alone. EM, we believe you, we stand with you, we rage for you. #StandWithEM chng.it/vvdj7JLr7j

This is why Hockey Canada settled, they knew what evidence would be made available in discoveries because they had it since 2018. Is this why their β€œindependent” third party now refuse to give complainants a copy of their complete file of their own evidence and personal info?!

In Canada, "not guilty" is not the same as "innocent." It means the Crown could not prove their case without reasonable doubt in a system that favours the defence. No matter the outcome in the Hockey Canada case, innocence has been lost for many participants and institutions.

🚨 The deadline is approaching for victims to claim their settlement! If you or someone you know has been affected by this case, please reach out to the legal team.🚨 youtu.be/Kih3_UbFG7E?si…

the 'protect women in sports' crew trying to harm the most famous woman in sports by throwing the sexual abuse she suffered as a child in her face just because she doesn't agree with their bigotry

Ah, yes. Hockey Canada, the paragon of virtue in our country that never selects people of poor character and has an upstanding culture of respecting women. Jesus Christ.

This is how women get killed. There’s no excuse for this. And yet too often this is how our system operates, without any accountability for when it causes harm and no meaningful reforms in sight.
