Just in case I don’t have opportunity to blog later this evening, a reminder that there are two court dates tomorrow (Monday, 03 June 2013). I encourage those who are within driving distance of either and free to do so to attend:
(1) Father Daniel Miller
03 June 2013: 3 pm, guilty pleas and statement, Pembroke, Ontario courthouse (297 Pembroke Street East)
There was confusion surrounding the start time. Please note that it is 3 pm.
I think too that I just sorted out where the confusion came from.
Thanks to eyes and ear in the court on 19 April we learned that there was a guilty plea in the offing for Father Miller. We also learned that Father Miller’s lawyer was not present in the courtroom, and that, despite Mr. Carew’s absence 03 June 2013 (10 am) was set for a sentencing hearing. Mr. Carew apparently would not be available for that date either!. Justice Belch then advised the court that 03 June it is and that Mr. Carew could send a representative.
I think perhaps Mr. Carew can make it out to Pembroke to represent his client at 3 pm? Might that be why the change? Perhaps there are other reasons, but, as I look back now, I think that perhaps that is it?
We shall see….
As always, keep the complainants and their families in your prayers. I hope to attend – will post a short update from Pembroke.
(2) Ex-priest Gary Hoskins
03 June 2013: 09:30 am, “for plea,” Stephenville, Newfoundland courthouse (35 Alabama Drive)
And, yes, as always, keep the complainants in your prayers. If anyone is in attendance please give us news of the outcome. And please send links to nay and all medai coverage.
Enough for now,
Sylvia
