🔔Court This Thursday - October 8🔔

The last court appearance on September 24th concluded because the defense lawyer requested an adjournment to a future date, typically to give more time to review the evidence (disclosure) before deciding which court level is strategically best for their client's case.

The next court appearance will be on October 8 @ 9am at Western Communities Room 002. The purpose of this upcoming court date is for the accused to make their official “election” (choice) on how and where they want to be tried.

This happens when the Crown prosecution is proceeding by Indictment (more serious charges), giving the accused the option of a trial by Provincial Court Judge alone, a BC Supreme Court Judge alone, or a BC Supreme Court Judge and a Jury.

‼️Update‼️

On August 27, there was his first court appearance, which was adjourned. On September 2, the defence requested a Technology Suitability Report (TSR) to determine whether it would be technically possible for him to be released into the community with an ankle monitor/electronic monitoring. The TSR was then submitted by email on September 17.

The defence has now initiated the next court appearance, which is scheduled for September 24 at 9:00 a.m. at Western Communities Courthouse. This hearing is for the defence to seek further particulars and obtain the Crown’s disclosure package — the information and evidence held by the prosecution relating to the case.

The court record does not indicate that the TSR was denied. At this point, the matter is continuing through the next procedural steps.

‼️Update‼️

We attended today for 5 hours. Thank you to all those who attended to show your support in getting collective justice. And to those who were quietly following along for the same reason. This is for all of us.

Even though Doug’s hearing before a judge was no longer than 5 minutes… it was 23 years in the making to know this is finally being taken seriously. It started with 1 charge then progressed to 7. There is now a total of 10 charges.

This will be a long process to conviction. But he is still in custody where he belongs so he can’t harm any other girls or women. That is all we’ve ever really wanted. His next appearance is September 1 @ 11 am for a very brief bail hearing.

Stay tuned.
