I want to file obstruction of justice charges against several court official's in a Court house in Ontario . The court reporter's office and Judge have altered and fixed official court documents.
The Court transcripts are significantly inaccurate. Statements made in court by the Judge are missing and other statements made by the judge and witnesses have been altered in a manner which would lessen the ability to appeal the court's decision.
After seeing how official court transcripts have been "fixed" in my case which appear to me to prevent any kind of an appeal, I am shocked at how justice has been perverted by those in positions of power and authority in the justice system.
I do believe that the original and unaltered audio recordings of my trial will show that the official transcripts have been altered and that a thorough investigation will show that the Judge had the court reporter alter the transcripts to sabotage any chance of appeal. I believe that the sections of the transcripts which have been removed and/or altered would clearly support an appeal or a mistrial. Portion of my testimony and the testimony of others has been removed or significantly altered. I know what I heard in court and I know without any doubt that the official transcripts given to me have been altered. There were witnesses in the court as well who will testify that the court transcripts which I have been given by the court staff are not an accurate of what was stated in court.
I can understand that judges do not want the public to learn about their behaviours in court and how they may pervert justice. I have also been told by court staff that the judges get to approve court transcripts before they are released. The justice system should have checks and balances to prevent judges from fixing official court transcripts. There should be no reason for judges to have access to court reporters for the purpose of fixing transcripts before they are released. My trial lawyer has advised me that fixing of court transcripts is considered obstruction of justice and should be treated as a criminal matter.
Tens of thousands of dollars have been spent not on seeking justice in my case, but to insure that a guilty conviction sticks in spite of the evidence before the court. I can now understand how innocent people get thrown into prison by over-zealous Crown attorneys and judges who make the assumption of guilt before innocence and then fix up transcripts to cover up their acts to obstruct justice.
Court staff also were discussing my court matter in the court room and yelling down the halls within earshot of the jury while the jury was deliberating. The Judge told the jury not to believe me or my witnesses as everyone wanted the charges to stick.
I contacted the Attorney General's office requesting a mistrial. If a mistrial could not be granted, then I asked to be allowed to obtain a copy of the audio recordings from the court during my trial. If the audio recordings appeared to be altered, then I asked that a forensic examination of the tapes be conducted by an independent expert to determine if the recordings have been altered. I suggested possibly the RCMP should be called in to investigate this matter. I have heard of stories where electronic recordings from courts in Ontario have been altered in the past.
Based on my research I am not the first to complain about the fixing of transcripts at the courts and the obstruction of justice by judges by preventing people from exercising their rights under the Courts of Justice Act to record their own hearing.
I received a letter back from the Ministry of the Attorney General telling me that they do not have the authority to comment on or intervene in any court proceedings, including matter that are or were before the courts. They went further on the explain that one of the fundamental principles of our justice system is that the judiciary must be free to make decisions in court without any control or influence exerted by government or any other outside the judicial system.
They directed me that complaints regarding the conduct of federally appointed judges must be forwarded in to the Canadian Judicial Council. The Canadian Judicial Council is an agency that is independent of the government and is established under the Courts of Justice Act to investigate complaints of misconduct made about federally appointed judges. They also noted that the Council does not have the power to interfere with or change a judge's decision on a matter. Only an appeal court can change a judge's decision.
They went on the explain with respect to my concerns regarding the altering of transcripts, to be advised that the completion of transcripts is a matter between the court reporter and the requesting party. The Manager of Court Reporters of a Court House in Ontario, had advised that the transcripts provided to me are certified true copies of the original court proceedings.
Last but not least I was told that a court order is required to access the court audiotape. I was asked to consult a lawyer to obtain the best possible advice to assist me in obtaining a court order.
Flash forward to yesterday in a meeting with my lawyer. My new Lawyer informed me that there is an audio recording of my trial, but the court reporter will not give him a copy because they are her "Personal" recordings. The court reporter went on to say that the transcript's I was given are not complete even though they are sworn and certified. The court reporter's office has asked me to return my original transcript and sign a sworn statement that I have not made any copies for an exchange of a new transcript. I informed my Lawyer of this and that he can not possibly prepare for my sentencing or an appeal if he does not have an accurate account into what happened in the court room.
I understand I can file a complaint with the Canadian Judicial Council, but that is not where I want to stop. I want to file charges of obstruction of justice against these court officials. I contacted the Justice of the Peace this morning, and they told me to contact the police. I then contacted the RCMP and they told me to contact the OPP because the allegations happened in an Ontario court. I contacted the OPP and they told me to contact the Toronto Police Service's, because these allegation's happened in Toronto. I then contacted the Toronto Police Services and they told me to contact the Law Society of Upper Canada, because they didn't think it was a criminal matter. After contacting the LSUC I was told to file a complaint with the Ontario Judicial Council.
Does anyone know where and how I can file charges of obstruction of justice against a federally appointed Judge and a court reporter's office? My new Lawyer will not tell me; he keep's avoiding the question and quickly changing the subject.
