...you were a lawyer, say, and you had just fought tooth and nail to put someone in prison for murder. The judge finally ruled in favour of your client and you are so relived. Now imagine it is six years later and you're sitting, drinking a coffee, thinking how wonderful it is to live in a country like Canada, where killers get put in prison and crime-rates are low, and you can leave the house in the morning to get coffee down the street without locking your front door and shutting the window in your kitchen.
Now imagine, you're sitting there with your coffee and in the News Paper is a headlining story that reads "Court of Appeal Judge Charged with Murder." And imagine now, that this self same judge is one that, on many occasions you stood in front of, arguing your case in favour of human rights and justice.
Well, now that we're done imagining. Get a load of this. There is some rumour about that it was an act of compassion, but seriously, Mr. Delisle, murder in the first degree? How did you figure that was even a remotely good idea? And possession of an illegal weapon?
Well, seeing as no Canadian judge has ever been charged with something so serious as murder (in history), this is a pretty damn big deal. We'll see what happens, I guess.
That's all for now!
