With respect, you've veered away from the points you raised and to which I responded.

Fairness. One may argue the finer points of law, but the woman did not receive fair treatment from the justice system. At least, not by any reasonable standard of fairness with which I'm familiar.

The woman's race. Given the degree of mistreatment she received, and given the potential Charter violation if it was due to discrimination, the possibility that racism contributed to it should be carefully considered.

Doubtless the court sees its share of addicted and homeless individuals. Yet you point out yourself that witnesses are incarcerated only "VERY" rarely. This complainant was aboriginal as well, and appears to have been singled out for what you acknowledge is a rare practice.

I feel that in the interests of justice, no stone should be left unturned in getting to the bottom of it.
