It always appears that the public is getting some kind of benefit - when in reality it results in that same small group of people holding all the marbles tightly in hand, just for themselves.lynxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-55567267385452774652011-08-23T15:29:01.062-07:002011-08-23T15:29:01.062-07:00NVG and Norman--

Regardless of whether or not the prosecutors are stuck on semantic differences, that is unreasonable.<br /><br />The root cause is with the Liberal Government decreasing prosecutorial and court resources at the time that demand for justice service is growing.<br /><br />Regardless of all the fussing about rioters deserving swift justice, the system cannot handle the cases, without dismissing charges against other miscreants who should be in front of a judge.Norm Farrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06762889793990336381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-22047509496599646612011-08-21T17:46:52.139-07:002011-08-21T17:46:52.139-07:00The answer to that Norm lies with Peter McKnight o...The answer to that Norm lies with Peter McKnight of the Vancouver Sun, yesterday.... http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Riot+investigation+arrests+hampered/5277601/story.html<br /><br /><br /><br />Snip ".... As it happens, this "substantial likelihood of conviction" test is the highest standard in Canada. Most provinces require a "reasonable likelihood of conviction" before laying charges, though Ontario requires a "reasonable prospect" and Nova Scotia a "reasonable chance" of conviction. The B.C. Crown is permitted to use the lower "reasonable prospect" standard in cases involving high risk, violent or dangerous offenders, but only in those cases.<br /><br />This means that, all other things being equal, people might be less likely to face charges in B.C. than in other provinces. It also means that the laying of charges might take longer, since the Crown must meet a more stringent evidentiary test before approving them."
