support for eddie Maurice's self defense case Please read...

This is excellent news.

Reading between the line though, it also means they never had enough evidence to make a case.
They charged him anyways in an effort to try punishment by process, which is frankly disgusting and should be called out.

Also, pretty sure in this case recommendations to charge him did not come from the mounties.
Have dealt with enough rural RCMP to know how most feel about this.

This is absolutely fantastic! Congratulations to Ed Maurice and family.

Can we keep this thread active and now focus on Pete Khill (pronounced 'kay-hill')? Is all the Fundrazr money now spent? Can Ed Maurice afford to help Pete Khill???

This “compelling forensic evidence” is really curious. I hope it’s disclosed, eventually.

Maurice had said all along that when he saw thieves on his property, he fired a warning shot, and that it was a ricochet bullet that struck the intruder.

Maurice fired a 'warning shot'. It was a ricochet that hit the burglar. An Alberta jury wouldn't have convicted Maurice in any case and the Crown knew it...

Yes, I'd forgotten that detail. Thank you...

Alright. So we got another small win. Good work Autolite, for keeping this thread rolling.

Isn't it better to put this one to bed, and then start a new one for this Pete Khil gent, focused on him and the details of his situation?

Crown doesn't want any more precedent that would impact the government's "we'll take care of you" agenda

Now that makes perfect sense!! if the forensic evidence supported that; then there would be 0% chance of conviction. Now it all makes sense. Thanks!

Indeed, a new, separate thread for Pete Khill would likely be best. However, I thought it would be best to give the supporters of the Maurice family an initial heads-up reference the Peter Khill case. Is there any money left over from the Maurice campaign that could help Khill???

I would think that this does set an important precedent. A 'warning shot' should be considered legitimate. As rural homeowners, we know that the intruders are very likely to be armed themselves and we also know that the police can't/won't respond in time to help.

A 'warning shot' tells the intruders that you as a victim are also armed as well and that you're prepared to defend yourself as necessary. It should be considered a justifiable and legal deterrent considering the fact that the police offer no effective deterrent at all...

What he said.

I'm honestly so relieved to hear the charges have been dropped.

I am beyond disgusted by the obvious and blatant punishment via process.
