The book (bionovel? autofictography? madnessscript?) turns out to be a thoroughly absorbing read. The use of an eccentric fictional biographer like Pons gives the "real" biographer, Sinclair, the freedom to indulge in amusingly wild flights of speculative fancy which he would no doubt have suppressed in a more conventional work.' - The Listener The majority decision was co-written McLachlin C.J. and Charron J. Two separate dissenting decisions were also released: one was written by Binnie J. and the other was co-written by LeBel and Fish JJ. Purpose of right to counsel [ edit ] The accuser’s mother testified that she had never seen her daughter so distraught, untrusting, and fearful, noting that when she went to visit her, she slept on the couch and had bought a large Doberman. These are not signs of a romantic affair that ended due to one party not leaving his spouse, but of a relationship of abuse and manipulation. The accuser’s attorney, Jaime Barnett called the case a “miscarriage of justice.”

In this case, both S’s statement to the undercover officer and his participation in the re‑enactment were inextricably linked to his original confession and were therefore obtained in violation of s.10( b) as well.

There exists an intermediate position that would allow the detainee reasonable access to legal advice from time to time in the course of a police interrogation (which in this case, as stated, lasted about five hours) without defence counsel being actually present in the interrogation room. The Crown argues that any such approach would create difficult issues of line drawing for police interrogators: When should further consultation be allowed? When can it be delayed? How frequently is “reasonable”? The fact is, however, that unless the detainee is to have a constitutional right unilaterally to stop police questioning at any time merely by indicating a wish to speak to counsel (again) — a position which in my view tilts the balance too far against the community interest in law enforcement — it is inevitable that the police are going to have to make the reasonableness judgment in the first instance. I do not see this as deeply problematic. Police deal with “reasonableness” issues all the time. It is one of the organizing principles that govern their professional work. Various factors can provide guidance, as will be discussed. What is not acceptable, in my view, is to read down the s. 10( b) right for the purpose of making it easier for the police to administer it.

M. Valdemar spoke— No person present even affected to deny, or attempted to repress, the unutterable, shuddering horror which these few Ernest Albert Pons is a Holocaust survivor with an unusual coping mechanism: he lives in the delusion that he is, in fact, Edgar Allan Poe. His psychiatrist Dupin (chosen because he shares a name with Poe's fictional detective) has a radical idea for treatment: Pons must see for himself that he is not Poe by retracing the poet's steps and writing an analysis of his life. As Pons pursues Poe from his childhood and university years in Virginia to his adult life in New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, we gradually learn the secrets of both men's pasts. But when Pons begins to suspect Dupin may be engineering an elaborate scheme to kill him, is it just another part of his delusion, or is Dupin plotting a macabre twist worthy of Poe?
