  • The judge’s statements are appropriately scathing.

    Justice Conlan said he commends the work of the defence and the Crown in this case.

    He said it is not the defence’s fault “the evidence of their clients has been found to be worthless.”

    All in all, he said, the Crown proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt on every count.

    He said electronic evidence “points overwhelmingly to the guilt of the accused.”

    He wrote they “paint a picture of loathe and hate by both accused towards the boys, especially towards L.”

    The judge said a Dec. 28, 2020, audio recording played in court of the women berating L.L. was “so difficult to listen to,” and “is just a terrible and shocking exhibit of abuse of L. by these accused.”

    He said a Sept. 24, 2021, video the court viewed of L.L. using a small portable toilet to relieve himself was “excruciating to watch.”

    “This court could go on and on, but for what purpose other than to, in a way, continue to victimize L. He should be remembered for more than this.”

    I don’t like the tax being lifted - I think it’s largely populist nonsense - but it’s at least a little dishonest to say there’s no difference at all.
