Appear in court in October? Swift justice? Boy! They should hire more judges. Because this judge in Williams Lake sure must have one helluva big “in-basket” on his desk.
Judge Begbie still travels by horseback.
Both will have forgot why he was booked in the first place. Looks like less than a Readers Digest version of how to rewire your breaker panel. Definitely not his strong suit.
By October he will have had ample time to re-establish his business on another site, and earn $$’s from that to acquire a smart lawyer(subsidized by Legal Aid as his earning will not be legal and thus reportable) so the whole issue will just be a joke. Unfortunately, it will be a costly one for the taxpayers.
The entire ‘justice’ system is a joke.
Drug dealers, growers, stealing the lives of our children, stealing electrical power, and these thugs walk free among us.
All their assets should be seized upon arrest, so they can’t defend themselves in court with the drug money.
