Back on December 30th I read the headline reported by injusticebusters.com: "Justice prevails over malicious cop, therapist and Crown!" It took twelve and half years of tribulations, public harassment and humiliations; in the end justice has prevailed and we must thank Justice George Baynton for this judgment against Crown prosecutor Matthew Miazga, police superintendent Brian Dueck and child therapist Carol Bunko-Ruys. We must not forget that the Saskatchewan government and justice system includes many more Miazgas, Duecks, and Bunko-Ruys. However, a new beginning of social justice is springing up in Saskatchewan and we look forward to further victories over other malicious prosecutions; and in this respect, the Sterlings and Leon Walchuk cases come to my mind. | ||||||

Justice George Baynton concluded in his judgment that the Klassen/Kvello families were maliciously prosecuted when they were originally charged with satanic and sexual abuse against children. I have partially read the judgment but I want to provide below some excerpts of Justice Baynton’s judgement since the understanding of these excerpts have a universal significance in our social and economic relationships: | ||||||
[6] …Throughout the lengthy trial, the images I was given of the case before me were ones of minute detail. It appears that during the investigation and prosecution of the case, the defendants focused on the minute detail and never stood back to view the case in full perspective. Had any of them done so, I would not be giving judgment in this case… |
|||||||
All of our relationships can be metaphors of each other, and whatever understanding we find in the justice system so we find the same understanding in our social and economic relationships. In Justice Baynton’s judgment we have the emphasis of the contextual understanding of events over the minute details of these events, the emphasis of objectivity as expressed by common sense and tried legal traditions over political correctness or ideologies, the emphasis of self responsibility over imposed influence from others. | |||||||
|
|||||||
|
Thank you for your civility and common sense Justice Baynton, and let us hope that other authorities can become civil and have common sense once again. | ||||||
