I have a feeling that the justice system is waiting until he disappears and this time they will not look for him.

Winston, I really do not know why you would bring mental illness into this. The issue we were talking about was legal payments.

  Marg get off your high horse. This man has paid thousands of dollars to lawyers to have them take the money and walk out on him. He is entitled to justice just like anybody else. I am glad he is showing the people just how corrupt the justice system is. This man has never had any mental illness. He was kidnapped by the police in 1998. and illegally held for 140 days. And if you don't believe it to bad. Try looking up the criminal definition of kidnapping. It is the crime of unlawfully seizing and carrying away a person by force of fraud or seizing and detaining a person against his or her will with and intent to carry that person away at a later date.. Which was done to him in 1998. He didn't get any justice then. Where were his charter of rights and freedom then. He is fighting for them now and everyone else's right to them. They kidnapped him then. They destroyed his mothers house this time how far will the police go and be allowed to get away with it. I bet you are a good christian also. But i don't see all you so called (good christian people sarcasm) standing up to help an 88 year old woman rebuild her home. He is not the only one suffering here so is his family. So if you know not what you are talking about. Please refrain from the insulting comments. He deserves justice and so does his family and the cost should not matter

Winston, Do you actually really think that Crockwell is paying for all this himself? He's not paying one lousy cent. WE ARE.....the taxpayers!

  Marg, my review of the Telegram articles on this includes Crockwell telling the Judge he paid tens of thousands of dollars to a lawyer, who then walked away and wouldn't refund any money. Crockwell thought it unfair. The judge said "not my concern- take it up with the law society. " It's a vicious circle. you say it has not cost Crockwell one lousy cent. Research the file on this. Let me know if you can count. We, in this province, have a long history of making sport of someone with mental issues. Many people considered great, like Churchill, to name one had mental issues at times. We are told it has a greater cost to society and the economy than the illness of cancer. Yes, I beleive too many make sport against those who sometimes may have a setback with mental illess. Yes, try to make a fool of them. Crockwell, in my opinion, is no fool, and shouldn't be treated as such.

The justice system is making a mockery of itself. If the Mounties done wrong in any way or violated his rights, that application should have been heard before proceeding with a trial to convict him. But no, convict first and hear the details of any wrong doing by the Mounties after. As they say in the old westerns- We'll give him a trial and then hang 'em. So he was convicted , without that application being heard. He is is jail for a long time . He has paid large sums of money to lawyers who later walk away. And the court allows the lawyers to do this without penality. Oh-" a breakdown is client- lawyer relationship " That's it . And Crockwell is screwed out of thousands of dollars- no refund. No recourse. Now Lori Marshall was an experienced lawyer and could have done a excellect job to look at that old application whether the Mounties acted improperly. And wouldn't you know, she got appointed to a judge. And where did that leave Crockwell? Another lawyer, who unlike Marshall, sees no value in investigating the Mounties actions. Hence , a breakdown in the client -lawyer relationshp. Oh my. And the judge says Crockwell will have to proceed alone. Where is the mockery here ? where is the justice. Is there not one good lawyer in nfld who will stand up for Crockwell? A man so in need of representation. Stand up for justice? Shame ! shame ! Shame on our legal community.

Crockwell is controlling the Justice System rather than the other way around. This is absolutely pathetic. There are so many back-ups and long waits for court cases and this man is getting off with all this. His name is "Crock"well but it should be "Manipulate"well.
