A most excellent assessment of the Linda Gibbons situation

December 15, 2011 by Andrea Mrozek 3 Comments

Linda Gibbons is the grandmother who has been in jail, on and off, for eight years, since 1994 for protesting inside an abortion clinic’s “bubble zone.” She had her day in the Supreme Court of Canada yesterday. A most excellent piece about her situation in today’s National Post.

    I agree, pretty good article, though I’m not sure Linda Gibbons is, as The National Post says, “violating the Law”. The Criminal Court does not ‘see’ Civil violations so she can’t be charged for a violation that doesn’t exist. The Post could have said; ” Linda Gibbons is standing on a sidewalk and the Criminal Court would ask, ‘And your telling us this because?’ “.

    Interesting. Though it is in the Supreme Court so there must be some legal violation, no?

    I see the point. One does wonder that there MUST BE some legal violation. Yet, it may be that because a lower Court keeps charging someone the only recourse is to take it to a higher, then a higher again, Court until, as in this case, it gets to the Supreme Court. Seems absurd, though stranger things have happened.
    I recall all those wrongfully convicted, David Milgaard for one, and how poorly handled their cases were and how clearly weak, if not non-existent, the evidence was and yet! I think back to a Civil case of my own where my Lawyer acknowledged that it was obvious to all, meaning the Lawyers on both sides and the ‘expert’ witnesses, that the other guy was the ‘bad guy’ yet cautioned that a case could be lost because one might be wearing the wrong colour of tie at the hearing – sobering thought. Regardless, proud of Linda Gibbons and the determined folk acting as her Lawyers and pray they continue.
