Submissions - Crown R. v. D. Townsend page 41
…stop until he’s made his point. We’ve seen that and in my respectful
submission what he was doing on December 8th was, he was making a
point to Mrs. Broadbent. He resented the
fact he wasn’t getting his own way. He
couldn’t have it maintained as he saw fit, he couldn’t have his idiosyncratic
point of view indulged. The one thing
that he had was a right to go over, drive over that right-of-way and that
wasn’t going to be taken away from him just because she’s standing there. In my respectful submission, what he did on
that day is very consistent with what Mrs. Brandt indicates happened to
her. That he’s somebody who in the past
takes his frustrations out on his neighbours with a motor vehicle. Your Honour. I’m going to stop here. (then Judge Lajoie held up the pictures he wanted to use “for
my (his) purposes” and indicated that the Crown should include them in the
submissions) If the Court wishes to direct me to any points in the
evidence or any issues before the Court, I’m happy to address them, but in my
respectful submission, the Crown has proven its case beyond a reasonable doubt
on this count before the Court. (at the Judge’s persistence
the Crown ignored his admission that I took the pictures lawfully for a record and
he included them in his submissions)
