Canadian Judge Backs Away From Upside-Down DV Laws
Submitted by Scott on Thu, 2002-03-07 16:31
Uberganger writes "This is an article from The Ottawa Citizen, found via divorceport.com, written by Dave Brown, the Citizen's senior editor. It describes how Judge Jean-Francois Gosselin 'stepped away' from a preposterous DV case because the definition of violence is now too wide. The case ended with no further action, and crown prosecutors are now 'expected to exercise greater discretion'. It's a welcome touch of sanity in Canada's demented DV landscape." Thanks also to ronn for submitting this article.Source: The Ottawa Citizen [Canadian newspaper]
