I think you are right that the audience on MERB is waiting for the other shoe to drop and a new story on a client being charged as a result of this investigation. I have had a few PMs from board members asking me about this as well. Like you I don't think anyone is in trouble, except the 5...

It's a question of evidentiary value and not discoverability. As I said the records may have no evidentiary utility. It's not a discoverability question, it's an evidentiary value question. The Courts do not block discovery requests like this. However if the discovery has no evidentiary value...

Just as an aside I subpoena cellphone records all the time. Unless there is a motion to quash the subpoena asking for a court order stopping it, any private attorney can do it. It's easy and at least here in the USA there is little resistance. Usually I do this in motor vehicle accident cases to...

When I was 18-25 I absolutely couldn't afford it, plus I was still involved in traditional dating. The best job I had ages 18-25 between college and starting law school was making $8 an hour managing a pizzeria back in the 1980s. I did make cash tips delivering the pies, on a good night I made...

Total beast, and has exploded past McDavid and McKinnon to take over the points lead. Really out of nowhere. 2 plus points per game over a 29 game stretch is incredible.

From Google AI: Pad Ped sauce is a savory, spicy Thai stir-fry sauce characterized by red curry paste, fish sauce, palm sugar, and often a splash of coconut milk. It is used to create a "stir-fried spicy" dish, typically cooked with aromatics like garlic, chili, and kaffir lime leaves for a...

I like the charred appearance as well. I can't tell if it's a flank steak or what the cut is. Last night, I had a Flank Steak Pad Ped at a local Thai restaurant and it was great. Served with a sauce and very tender!

I realize that in Quebec, Yellow Split Pea Soup is a thing, and maybe I will try the following recipe with the Yellow Split Peas some time, but today I made the above with Green Split Peas, which we favor here south of the border, and the following additional recipe variations: - I used a...

That is correct, it was me. Towards the end of my sexually active days.

I am in my 60s, but have health issues now that have wrecked me. The biggest one being high blood pressure and pills that seriously, seriously seriously limpen the penis to say the very least. I would like to get off them but that will probably never happen. Why do I participate here? Sad to...

I am aware the Prosecution should not have presented the witness- IN HINDSIGHT. I am not here to excuse them, but to suggest that sometimes things get away from you and a witness does worse than expected. Or better. Also, you do not bail on a witness just because there are contradictions in...

I agree. I doubt it will go to trial and more likely is a resolution along the lines of what you suggested- "restitution" of the "avails or proceeds of prostitution" in some amount to the Crown. Of course, if the defendants do not have any money, then it becomes a bit more problematic. A...

Predicting witness success and failure in Court is something you do not fully understand until you have lived it. Sometimes you prep a party witness and think they will be great, but then they fold like a cheap suitcase after a few slightly difficult questions. Other times you think, despite...

Probably a 5 day record for MERB. Just a guess. I don't recall any threads more explosive that did not get shut down. I am not suggesting that this thread should be shut down, but usually in the past threads that had heavy debate eventually did for one reason or another. I think the XO story...

I agree with you and that's exactly what I was suggesting. I could be wrong but it's my sense of what will happen.

We don't know what the evidence is and we don't know what is easy to prove or not. What the law states is: Benefiting from Sexual Services (Material Benefit - s. 286.2): It is an indictable offence, punishable by up to 10 years in prison, to receive a financial or material benefit knowing it is...

He was convicted under the U.S. Mann Act - a federal law which involves transportation of prostitutes across state lines. The difference here is the defendants were charged with what I understand to be offenses under Quebec provincial law.

What is the maximum penalty for these specific charges? There are no charges laid for rape, abuse, use of minors etc.

Anthony thanks for pointing this out, but it doesn't change my response to the James or my post #763 above: From my Google Translator: "THE CHARGES Having benefited from a pecuniary advantage that they knew to be derived from an offense; Having induced a person to offer sexual services in...
