Court:Court of Appeal for BCJudges:Peter M. Willcock, Joyce DeWitt-Van Oosten, Karen HorsmanProsecutor:Disposition:Appeal Dismissed
Upon my release from prison on 244069-07-B, I was on a one year probation order which contained a condition requiring me to take down the website I created about my ex-wife, Desiree Capuano. The website also contained extensive proof of the corruption and misconduct that had been going on in the prosecutions against me.
Five days after being released from prison for refusing to take down the website, I was arrested for again refusing to take down the website. There was no evidence I acutally had any involvement with, or control over, the website.
I represented myself. I was denied bail and held in custody until the trial.
At the trial the police admitted they have no evidence and no knowledge of whether I have any involvement with the website. They admitted they did not investigate that at all. On cross-examination, VPD Detective Kyle Dent admitted he committed perjury at my previous trial.
I testified, pointing out that my prior admissions about putting the websites online could not have been true because at all times relevant I was in custody and did not have access to the internet. There had been updates made to the website while I was in custody. Clearly, someone other than me is maintaining the website and keeping it online.
I was convicted and sentenced to 12 months in prison, and another three year probation order with conditions requiring me to take down the website and prohibiting me from publishing anything about Capuano. In her Reasons for Judgment, Judge Kathryn Denhoff made all manner of false claims about the evidence and about what was and wasn't said at the trial.

The Narrative
The Background
On 2021-08-12, my prison sentence from 244069-7-B (for refusing to take down the Desiree Capuano website) ended. I was released from Fraser Regional Correctional Centre (FRCC) and the probation order imposed by Judge Gregory Rideout came into effect. That probation order had two conditions relevant to this case: one requiring me to unpublish any information about Desiree Capuano which was still publicly accessible at the time the probation order came into effect (Condition 6); and one which prohibited me from publishing any further information about Desiree Capuano for the duration of the order (Condition 5). Basically the same conditions the judges and prosecutors had been imposing on me since 2017. Why they thought anything would be different this time, who the fuck knows.
Upon my release, the Desiree Capuano website was online. The probation order required me to take it down within 48 hours, without any consideration for whether I had any control or influence over the website. The condition required me to remove the website from public accessibility regardless of who actually owned and controlled the website.
I Am Serveilled by Seven Detectives
Upon my release, the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) assigned seven detectives to surveil me for eleven hours, apparently to try to determine where I would be staying following my release from custody VPD Surveillance Report. Yes, I said that correctly - seven detectives, for eleven hours!
Now, I would like to remind you, the most serious thing I have been accused of doing is creating a website to expose all the ugly, despicable things my ex-wife has done. No violence; no theats. I am so non-threatening that the RCMP issued me a firearms license and allowed me to own and use handguns and assault rifles. Even after Capuano filed the first criminal harassment complaint, and the website got all that negative media coverage in 2016, the RCMP still allowed me to keep my license and firearms. And for most of my life, in the US, I have owned guns. Never had an issue with them. I haven't even been in a fight since elementary school. Yet the VPD and the BCPS now consider me such a danger to society they deemed it necessary to have seven detectives follow me from Maple Ridge, BC to downtown Vancouver, for an entire day, to try to find out where I would be residing. Why they didn't just ask me where I would be residing, I have no idea.
So, they watched and logged me going to Starbucks and drinking coffee; smoking cigarettes; going to White Spot and eating a burger; smoking cigarettes; standing in a parking lot, smoking cigarettes; standing on the sidewalk, smoking cigarettes; going to Starbucks and drinking coffee while smoking cigarettes; going to Staples and buying a laptop bag, then going outside to smoke a cigarette. Oh, come on man! What a fucking waste of resources!
The BC Prosecution Service refuses to accept Steve Riess's offer of a paternity test to prove whether or not I'm the person who was born Ricky Riess in Sudbury, Ontario, because, they say, it would not be an effective use of police resources email from Mark Myhre, dated 2019-02-13, but they'll have seven detectives follow me around for an entire day to watch me drink coffee, eat lunch, and smoke cigarettes. Fucking yahoos!
I Send an Email to editor@desicapuano.com
The day after I was released, I sent an email to editor@desicapuano.com, requesting they take down the website because it is causing me hardship due to my probation conditions email to editor@desicapuano.com, dated 2021-08-13. At that time I knew who was actually keeping the site online and I knew why. So, I did not expect a response, nor did I expect they would actually take the site down. But, I sent the email anyway, so that the next time I'm arrested for failing to take the site down I could, at least, show the police and prosecutors that I requested it.
Then again, if I showed them the email then they may not prosecute me for another breach which would make it impossible for me to continue compiling proof of the corruption and bullshit going on in the BC justice system. So I'll have a printed copy of the email with me (just in case), and I'll tell them I sent it, but I won't actually show it to them. By that time I'll be in police custody so I won't have access to my email until I'm released. They'll ask me to provide the passwords for my phone and laptop so they can confirm that I sent the email (they really are that predictable), and I'll refuse to give them the passwords for the reason that I don't want them having full access to everything on my phone and laptop. I'll tell them the email was sent from my gmail account, so it's on the server not on my phone or laptop Tanino Interrogation p31l9-15; p37l9-13. By doing that I will have informed the police and prosecutors of the existence of proof of my innocence, which is readily accessible in my gmail account.
In this way, we'll see how much effort they put into obtaining the evidence, which they are aware of, which proves my innocence. I suspected they wouldn't put any effort into obtaining evidence of my innocence - hence, this test.
My release date, 2021-08-12, was a Thursday. The weekend passed without incident - and by "incident" I mean my arrest. The website was still online and publicly accessible. Though there had been no updates to it. Then, on Tuesday, 2021-08-17, five days after my release, Detectives Kyle Dent and Nicole Roberts came to arrest me.
There was nothing worth noting during the arrest so I won't waste any time on it here. You're welcome, though, to listen to the recording of it, or read the transcript of it.
Then, I was brought to the police station at Main and Cordova and waited around until the interrogation room was ready. It took quite some time for them to get the room ready, so Detectives Dent and Roberts and I hung around the building entrance, smoking and drinking coffee. Well, I was smoking, anyway. All very routine.
The Interrogation
Detective Janine Tanino led the interrogation. Roberts sat in.
I wish I could say this was the most outrageous, entertaining interrogation I've participated in but, alas, it's not. In fact, this was probably the most uneventful interrogation I've done.
For their parts, Tanino and Roberts were professional. They didn't do anything I would consider sleazy.
Tanino spent a lot of time, trying in vain, to build a rapport. Unfortunately for her, my perception of the Canadian police had already been permanently tainted by jackoffs like Detectives Kyle Dent, Kirsty Brown, and Tyler Hawkins.
The only other notable aspect of the interrogation is how Tanino and Roberts kept convincing themselves I'm a complete moron and that they'd be able sweet-talk me, or play on my sense of duty as a parent, to get me to give them the passwords to my phone and laptop. Needless to say, I didn't fall for that.
Tanino subsequently testified at the trial, regarding what was said in the interrogation. To her credit, she didn't lie, didn't embellish, and didn't misrepresent my statements. Good for you, Detective Tanino. Good for you.
In retrospect, reading the transcript and watching the video of the interrogation, I suspect Tanino may have even been sincere in some of her statements.
See? I don't hate all Canadian police, just the lying, cheating, corrupt ones. And I'm perfectly willing to give them credit when they conduct themselves with honor and integrity. Suck it, Dent!
The Charges
On 2021-08-17, the BCPS obtained an indictment, alleging a single count of violating my probation order.
Specifically, the indictment alleged that I violated Condition 6 of the Judge Rideout probation order by failing (or refusing) to shut down the Desiree Capuano website within 48 hours of my release from custody. I was NOT charged with violating Condition 5 of that order, which prohibited me from publishing any information about Capuano.
The two conditions, when taken together, required me to take down the website (Condition 6) and prohibited me from putting the website back online after taking it down (Condition 5). But taken individually, one only required me to take the website down, but did not prohibit me from putting it back online (Condition 6); and the other only prohibited me from engaging in the act of putting the website online, but did not require me to take down what had been previously published (Condition 5).
It would seem that the prosecution screwed up again, because what they should have done is charged me with two counts: one for violating Condition 5; and one for violating Condition 6. In that way, if I had taken the website down within 48 hours, then subsequently put it back online, I would have complied with Condition 6 but violated Condition 5. And if I didn't take the website down at all, then I would not have violated Condition 5 (because the act of putting the website online occurred before the order came into effect), but I would have violated Condition 6. But alas, the folks at the BC Prosecution Service are not that smart.
Given that I was only charged with violating Condition 6 (failing to shut down the website within 48 hours), and not Condition 5, the prosecution would have to prove that the website was not, in fact, shut down for any duration of time within 48 hours of my release. The fact that the website was found to be online at any point subsequent to that does not prove that it was not shut down for some period of time within the 48 hours following my release. It only proves that it was online at the moment the person checked it.
But how could the police or the prosecutors have monitored the site continuously for that 48 hours? Simple! They could have created a script that used wget
to access the site once per second, or every five seconds, or every minute, or whatever interval they chose. They could have had that script executed by cron
at whatever interval they wanted, for 48 hours (or however long they wanted). It would have been extemely simple for them. But they're incompetent!
The Pre-Trial Proceedings
The Bail Hearing
Since I'm always denied bail anyway, I figured fuck it, I might as well have the Duty Counsel represent me. Susan Daniells was the Duty Counsel at the time of my bail hearing.
Chris Johnson was contracted, again, by the BCPS to represent the state.
Johnson's Lies and Bullshit
As always, Johnson told a bunch of lies and misrepresented as many statements and facts as he could. For example, Johnson falsely claimed:
- That during the Tanino interrogation, the police asked me to show them the email I sent to editor@desicapuano.con and that I refused to do so TR p4l6-10. But in fact, the police did not request that. They only requested I provide them the passwords to my phone and laptop so they could access my emails in my absence.
- That on the first case (244069-2-KC) from 2016, I was charged with seven offenses TR p7l44-45. But in reality, I was initially charged with three offenses, but the most serious charge (unlawful exportation of firearms, knowing it to be unlawful (CCC s. 103) was subsequently withdrawn by the prosecution when I pointed out to them that it stated on the RCMP's own website that no authorization was required for me to export my firearms to the US Importing and Exporting Firearms page, on RCMP website.
- That I was convicted of possession of a firearm (CCC s. 91) TR p7l47-p8l1. Which means I possessed a firearm without having a valid firearms license. However, I was actually charged with possession of a firearm at an unauthorized place (CCC s. 93), which means I was permitted to possess the firearm; I just wasn't authorized to have it at the particular location. Section 91 is a much more serious charge then section 93.
- That I was in possession of a firearm while attempting to enter the US TR p8l11-14. Which actually wouldn't have violated any laws, but it creates the false impression I'm dangerous and was trying to sneak firearms into the US so I could shoot Capuano.
- That the evidence obtained by the police, in the course of their investigations, establishes that I and I alone am the one running the website TR p12l7-10. However, Dent admitted during cross-examination at the previous trial and at the trial in this matter, that the police have not done any investigation into who actually owns and controls the website, and that he is not aware of any evidence in that regard TR 2020-11-26 p16l27-38; TR 2022-02-23 p62l47-p64l1.
Since I usually represent myself, I don't get a lot of opportunities to show you how useless the Legal Aid and Duty Counsel lawyers are. But, in this instance I chose to have the Duty Counsel speak for me because I just didn't give a shit.
Susan Daniells' Collusion with the Prposecutor
So let's have a look at the masterful skills of defense lawyer Susan Daniells, shall we.
You will immediately notice that Daniells doesn't present any of her arguments as facts. Everything is prefaced with "Mr. Fox tells me...", or "According to Mr. Fox..." TR p5l21; p5l32. What the fuck is that about? Is she actually trying to make her arguments as weak as possible. It's the most basic knowledge that arguments be presented with confidence, with certainty. By phrasing her arguments in this way, what she's telling the judge is that she, herself, does not necessarily believe what I've told her. Moreover, she's creating the impression that what she's saying are not facts - they're just completely unverified claims made by a defendant who clearly has something to gain by lying. This is the worst presentation of legal arguments I've seen since the last time I used a Legal Aid funded lawyer (i.e. Chester Bridal).
No joke, Daniells' entire arguments consisted of her saying I told her: I was born in Florida; I've been in Canada since 2013; I have a degree in Computer Science from UCLA; I have "in the past" worked as a software engineer; and that although I created the site, I I no longer have the capability or authority to shut it down. But wait, she then said that would be up to the administrator acting under my direction TR p6l5-7!
By that point I'd had enough of listening to her blatantly sabotaging the hearing. I took over my own defense. I think she realized I saw that she was a useless blob because she sat there without saying a word for the rest of the hearing.
But was Daniells actually colluding with the prosecutor to ensure I'd be denied bail, or is she a completely incompetent, useless tool who can't argue her way out of a wet paper bag? I don't know. Maybe both.
My Arguments
Given Daniells' dismal performance in representing my interests, I decided to take over my defense.
I pointed out that I had relinquished control of the website to another party prior to the probation orders coming into effect and, for that reason, I have had no control or influence over the site since I've been on probation. I also pointed out that since I've been on probation, the prosection has never once provided a single piece of evidence that I have had any involvement with the site TR p6l22-29.
I openly admitted my reason for transferring the website to another party was so that I could not be compelled to shut it down TR p6l34-44. Generally, the prosecutors and judges take that as me trying to skirt the probation conditions. However, it's no different than if a person had a probation condition prohibiting him from possessing weapons, so before the probation order came into effect he gave (or sold) all his weapons to another party with the expectation of taking (or buying) them back after the probation order expires. Yet the prosecutors and judges wouldn't bat an eye at that, it would be perfectly acceptable because once the order expires he would be perfectly free to possess weapons again. Likewise, in this case, once the probation orders expire I am perfectly free to run the website and publish whatever I want about Capuano again.
And, of course, I corrected a number of the errors or false claims Johnson had made.
Ultimately, I was denied bail, primarily on the basis that if I were released I would continue to violate the probation order by failing to take down the website. So I need to be detained, where I don't have access to the internet and it would not be possible for me to shut down the website, in order to ensure that I can't continue to fail to shut down the website. The prosecutors' concern isn't that the website is online - it's that they haven't been able to force me to take it offline. They're not trying to get the website shut down; they're trying to make me shut it down.
On 2021-09-20, I sent a letter to Johnson telling him that if he intended to call Dent as a witness, I would require a copy of the video recording of his prior interrogation of me and the transcript of Dent's testimony from the previous trial (in 244069-7-B), to use in my cross-examination of him Letter to Johnson.
The Prosecution Provides the Disclosure Encrypted, So I Can't Access It
The prosecution is required (under R. v. Stinchcombe, [1991] 3 SCR 326 and numerous subsequent cases) to provide the defense timely disclosure of all relevant material in their possession.
The BC prosecutors, though, regularly employ unscrupulous tactics to to avoid or delay having to provide disclosure. The defendant cannot possibly prepare his defense if he isn't aware of the material the prosecutor has, or if there is exculpatory evidence which the prosecutor knows about but doesn't inform the defense of.
One common tactic the BCPS has used repeatedly in my cases, in order to delay providing me the disclosure, is to encrypt all of the files before giving them to me. The disclosure is generally provided in electronic format (on a CD/DVD, or an external hard drive). But since the files are encrypted, I am unable to access their contents. They are useless to me. In this way, the prosecutors can say they have provided the disclosure, the files being encrypted was an honest error on the part of some clerk in the BCPS's office. But as I pointed out in court, if it had happened once or maybe twice, perhaps they could say it was an honest mistake, but it has happened at least three times on three separate cases TR 2021-10-14 p5l35-40. That is not a mistake. It's either deliberate or it's gross incompetence.
On 2021-09-23, I sent Johnson a letter informing him all of the files were encrypted and therefore, inaccessible. I requested he schedule a pretrial conference as soon as possible, so we could address the disclosure issues Letter to Johnson. He did not respond and did not schedule a pretrial conference.
The First Trial Date - Johnson Requests an Adjournment
On 2021-10-14, the trial as scheduled to begin. I had still not received an accessible copy of the disclosure material.
I brought the hard drive with the encrypted files to court so I could show the judge the bullshit games the prosecution was playing. My intention was to plug the hard drive into a computer in the courtroom and prove, on the record, that the files were encrypted.
Before court began, Johnson approached me and told me some of his witnesses were not available so he would be requesting an adjournment. Exactly what he had done at the previous trial.
I told Johnson I had brought the hard drive and I wanted to show the judge, in open court, that the files were encrypted and that I, therefore, haven't received the disclosure yet. Johnson chuckled and said "That's not going to happen." He proposed taking the hard drive over to the Prosecutors' office so he could verify that the files were, in fact, encrypted. My immediate thought was that he would bring the drive to the prosecutors' office, unencrypt the files, then come back and claim they weren't encrypted. But I knew, by that point, the judge was not going to allow me to publicly expose the prosecutor's misconduct in open court, so I begrudgingly agreed.
When the judge entered, Johnson told her a number of his witness's children were out sick and so those witnesses were not available to testify at that time TR 2021-10-14 p1l23-30. He also told the judge I was claiming the disclosure files were encrypted and that he and I agreed he would take the drive to the prosecutors' office to look into that TR p2l1-18. We stood down while he proceeded with that.
Johnson Lies to the Court, Claims the Disclosure Files Are Not Encrypted; Accuses Me of Lying About It
When we reconvened, Johnson told the court he had checked the hard drive and that none of the files were encrypted, that he was able to access the contents of each file on the hard drive, including the MP4 videos TR p3l32-35; p4l3-7; p4l16-17; p8l1-11.
But then, Johnson went on to say, on the record, that "perhaps Mr. Fox isn't being forthright" (which is lawyer-speak for "Mr. Fox is lying") TR 2021-10-14 p4l10-11. Well, let me tell you, upon hearing this sleazy, lying prick suggest, on the record, that I'm the one lying, I was livid!
I very calmly and politely insisted that Johnson bring a laptop into the courtroom, that we plug the hard drive into it, and expose in open court, on the record, who's actually lying about this TR 2021-10-14 p4l39-45. Johnson was visibly shaken by this proposal. If the judge were to agree to it, or if I were to pull a laptop out of my legal box, and I plug the hard drive in, it would publicly expose, irrefutably, that Johnson was lying not only in court, but to the court, and doing so while acting as an agent of the Crown Counsel and an officer of the court. That would be very not good for him, for the Crown Counsel, or for the entire justice system.
Johnson regained his composure, then responded "I don't think that's necessary, because we just did that." TR p5l5-6 What total bullshit! Obviously one of us is lying, and I'm the one saying the proof is right here so let's show it in this recorded, public forum and prove which one of us is telling the truth. Obviously he is the one that's lying, so how can we possibly believe him when he says "we just did that" in another room where no one saw us?
And as livid as I was before, I was fuming now. I told Johnson he had just, essentially, accused me of lying about the files being encrypted, so let's prove, right here in front of the judge, with the DARS running, which of us is the liar TR p5l7-8. Of course, I said it in a much more diplomatic way.
BC lawyers and judges are not used to people standing up to them, or calling out their bullshit, in open court. The three sides (prosecutors, defense lawyers, and judges) all basically spend their time licking each other's asses. So when some pissant, self-represented jackass who actually appears to have the intellect and knowledge to effectively run his case comes right out and says the prosecutor or the judge is lying, and that he has the proof of it in hand, they tend to shit their pants.
So, while proverbially soiling himself, Johnson claims he isn't suggesting I'm not being forthright TR p5l12-13, even though he literally just said "what I'm going to suggest is ... that Mr. Fox isn't being forthright." TR p4l8-11. I mean, that is literally and exactly what he just said! And now, less than two minutes later, he's claiming he didn't say that.
Johnson and the judge were then eager to change the topic away from Johnson and the BCPS being caught engaging in misconduct and lying about it on the record. So Johnson says, it seems to him, based on what I'm saying, that what's important to me is that I'm able to access my disclosure TR p5l19-21. Is he retarded? Insane? There is absolutely nothing I have said which should have given him that impression. I have been shockingly clear that what's important to me is proving he's a lying sack of shit. It should be obvious that he's desparately trying to change the focus.
I concisely responded "I disagree" TR p5l22.
The judge affirmed Johnson's suggestion that what's important is that I'm able to access my disclosure material, then asked me what it is that I disagree with TR p5l25-28.
I told her, though in somewhat less direct language, that what's important right now is not that I can access my disclosure, but proving that Johnson and the BCPS are corrupt and full of shit, that they have no regard for the truth or respect for the law. That they are horrible, despicable, sleazy, douchebags who should be hanged in the town square TR p5l29-40. But, of course, I was much more diplomatic in my diction.
The judge then falsely claimed the scope of a judge's authority in a criminal proceeding is limited to the allegations against the accused, and that matters such as prosecutorial misconduct are not something the criminal court judge is authorized to address TR p6l3-10. That is more total bullshit! A criminal court judge most certainly has the authority to, for example, stay (dismiss) the charges if she finds that the prosecution has engaged in misconduct. Never assume, for even a second, that a BC judge won't lie to your face just as easily and frequently as a BC prosecutor would.
And so, after all that, the judge granted Johnson's request for an adjournment based on his witnesses not being available. Curiously, the judge relied on the case Darville v. The Queen (1956), 116 CCC 113 (SCC), to support her decision. Even though in Darville it was the defendant requesting an adjournment because he had not yet been able to contact some of his witnesses, and the judge in Darville had denied the adjournment request. So the case the judge relied on was actually the opposite of the ruling she imposed. Ah, the Canadian legal system ... surreality at it's best.
After the hearing, I told Johnson I wanted to call Dent as a witness regardless of whether or not the prosecution also intended to call him. I told Johnson again, that I would require the video of Dent's interrogation of me, and the transcript of Dent's testimony from the previous trial, to use during my cross-examination of him.
The Second Trial Date - Johnson Withholds Disclosure, Requiring Another Adjournment
The trial was then rescheduled to proceed on 2021-11-23.
Recall that on 2021-09-20, I had sent a letter to Johnson telling him I would require a copy of the video recording of Dent's prior interrogation of me and the transcript of Dent's testimony from the previous trial.
By the second trial date (2021-11-23), I still had not received those items.
At the start of the appearance, Johnson told the court that I had just that morning, requested additional disclosure relating to Dent, which Johnson had not yet had the opportunity to provide me. That is, of course, bullshit. He'd had almost two months to provide it and it was already in the prosecution's possession. It was, literally, just a matter of copying it onto the disclosure laptop.
Johnson told the court I am seeking an adjournment so that I can obtain that additional disclosure. But in reality, it was Johnson who had deliberately delayed providing the disclosure, so I wouldn't be ready and would have to request the adjournment.
Even following this hearing, Johnson never did provide the video of the Dent interrogation. Instead, he only provided the transcript of the interrogation. Fortunately, however, I was also in the process of appealing 244069-7-B, and the video was provided to me by David Layton, who was the prosecutor on that appeal. I suspect the BCPS did not want me having that video because in it I am so incredibly sarcastic and mocking of the prosecutors and judges, and they knew I would publish it, making them look like complete fools.
Johnson Requests an Order Prohibiting Me From Publishing the Disclosure
On 2021-12-14, I was called into court regarding the prosecution's request for a court order prohibiting me from publishing any of the disclosure material, and requiring me to immediately return their disclosure laptop before I am released from custody.
I didn't bother opposing the request because I knew the court would grant it regardless. Also because I had absolutely no intention of complying with it anyway. Go ahead, lock me up for exposing corruption, misconduct, and incompetence in the local justice system! Let's see how well that plays out in the news media while you're screaming about Russia and China doing the same thing.
The Third Trial Date - Johnson Withholds Dent, Requiring Another Adjournment
On 2022-01-10, the trial was again scheduled to proceed.
Upon arriving at the courtroom, at that start of the trial, Johnson claimed Dent called him that morning and informed him he (Dent) had just tested positive for COVID and would not be able to attend court.
Johnson offered to proceed without Dent's testimony, relying only on Tanino's testimony. But Tanino had no relevant testimony to provide, really. She would only be able to testify about what was said during the interrogation of me. And there was nothing incriminating in that interrogation. If Johnson were to proceed based only on Tanino's testimony, there is no way he could, legally, get a conviction.
I believe Johnson knew I was setting a trap for him and Dent. He didn't want Dent to testify because he knew I was up to something. However, he couldn't refuse to call Dent as a witness if I requested it, because Dent was the Lead Investigator on the case - there's no way Johnson could claim Dent had no relevant information.
So, instead Johnson created a situation whereby we could proceed immediately without Dent testifying, and I would most certainly be acquitted; or we could adjourn it another month or two (while I sit in pretrial detention), have Dent testify, and I would most likely be convicted. I didn't budge. I insisted on Dent testifying and agreed to the adjournment. Based on that, Johnson must have known I had some ulterior motive for getting Dent on the witness stand.
The trial was adjourned to 2022-03-23.
On 2022-02-15, I was called into court unexpectedly. The 2022-03-23 trial date was moved to 2022-02-23.
The Trial
Finally, on 2022-02-23, the trial began!
The first witness called by Johnson was VPD Crime Data Analyst Catherine Meiklejohn.
Catherine Meiklejohn's Testimony
Meiklejohn had been tasked with accessing the website, using forensics software called Hunchly. She basically just had to try to access the website a few times over the few days following my release and save the "screenshots" generated by Hunchly.
There was absolutely nothing of any real interest during Johnson's direct-examination of Meiklejohn, other than her stating that the most recent post she saw on the website was dated 2021-04-12 TR 2022-02-23 p4l46-p5l3. That's interesting because I was in custody for all of April 2021, so I couldn't have been the person who posted it. That pretty clearly shows that someone else had control over and was maintaining the website, not me.
In my cross-examination of Meiklejohn, she admitted that she had only checked the website one time per day for the four days following my release, and that she did nothing to verify whether the site had remained accessible, continuously, for all the time in between. She admitted she had no knowledge of whether the site remained online all that time or if it had been taken offline at any time, then subsequently put back online TR p5l19-p6l10; p7l35-40.
This is significant because, remember, I was charged with failing to take the website down, not with putting it back online. And remember, as explained above, there were two separate conditions on the probation order: one which required me to take the website offline (Condition 6); and one which prohibited me from putting it back online (Condition 5).
Next, Johnson called Detective Tanino, who conducted the interrogation of me. This was really a waste of everybody's time because there was nothing of significance stated during the interrogation.
Detective Janine Tanino's Testimony
On direct-examination, Tanino falsely testified that I told her I had transferred owndership of the website to a party who I refused to identify TR 2022-02-23 p13l38-42. However, on cross Tanino admitted I didn't actually refuse to identify who I transferred the website to, I told her I can't say who currently has access to the website because I don't know TR p19l2-9.
There were a few leading questions by Johnson, which resulted in some misrepresentations of what was said in the interrogation but nothing of any real significance. As I said, Tanino really had very little to contribute to the prosecution's case.
My cross-examination of Tanino was about as uneventful as Johnson's direct.
There was, however, one interaction which later became interesting. In the disclosure material there was a report which contained "highlights" from the interrogation RTCC v1, page 2. In the "Interview of Fox" section of that report, there is a point which reads "[Fox] stated hat he e-mailed his friend who is running the site...". I wanted to question Tanino on why she would falsely state in the report that I said the person currently running the site was a friend of mine. I asked Tanino if she was the one who wrote those highlights and she responded that she believes it was Dent who wrote them TR p27l27-44. This is significant because later, when I cross-examine Dent, he is extremely evasive on who wrote the list of interview highlights. He seems to suggest that he copied the highlights from another report which Tanino wrote, but he refuses to simply say who wrote the particular sentence I wanted to question him on TR p65l36-p67l29.
On direct, Tanino testified I had told her I would get her a copy of the email I sent to editor@desicapuano.com at some later date, and that she had not yet received it TR p14l23-29. Johnson was trying to create the impression my claim of sending the email was false, because if I had sent it surely I would have forwarded it to Tanino by now. However, on cross, Tanino admitted that what I actually said was that I would be able to forward the email to her once I'm released from custody in three years or so because I don't have access to my email from within jail TR p28l41-p29l1.
During the preceding exchange regarding the email and me not having access to my email or to the internet from within jail, Denhoff confirmed I had said "in three years", which means she must have heard me say I don't have access to my email from within jail TR p29l4-9. And shortly thereafter, during Johnson's re-examination, Tanino again mentioned me saying I didn't have access to email in jail TR p30l18-19. This will become significant later, during sentencing.
Tanino then falsely claimed she had asked me for a copy of the email I had sent to editor@desicapuano.com TR p30l1-3. But in fact, what she had asked me was when I would be able to provide a copy of the email, which is not the same as asking me to provide her a copy of it.
And that was about it for Tanino's testimony. See? Nothing spectacular there.
Johnson's final witness was Detective Kyle Dent. Remember, Johnson had offered to proceed without Dent's testimony. He must have known I was up to something. And indeed, he'd be right. I was definitely up to something.
Detective Kyle Dent's Testimony
There was little of significance or interest in Johnson's direct-examination of Dent.
One thing you will quickly notice if you review Dent's testimony is how, on direct-examination by Johnson, he consistently gave clear, direct responses; but on cross-examination by me, he is painfully evasive on almost every question. Unfortunately, this is common practice for some police - typically the sleazy, lying, corrupt ones.
The Surveillance of Me
Dent testified about ordering the surveillance of me following my release from custody. He said I was observed at Starbucks, using my phone TR 2022-02-23 p33l6-34. Whoop-de-fucking-doo, right? And later, on cross, I questioned Dent about the surveillance. I asked him what the purpose of the surveillance was, and he responded it was to find out where I'd be staying. I asked him, "Did it ever occur to you to simply ask me?" Dent responded, "No, it did not." TR p77l39-p78l5 What a fucking dumbass.
Prosecutor Patti Tomasson Lied To the Police
Dent also falsely testified that I stated in an affidavit, prior to my release, that I was not going to be taking down the website TR p32l37-41. However, on cross, Dent admitted he had not seen the affidavit, he had no knowledge of what was actually stated in the affidavit, and that he was merely told that by Deputy Regional Crown Counsel Patti Tomasson TR p35l46-p36l6. If that's the case, why would Tomasson lie about what was in my affidavit? Because she's an evil, frigid, psychopathic, feminist who hates me because I refuse to cower before her and kiss her ass. No kidding, the BC prosecutors really are that petty.
Meiklejohn Gave Dent False Information
Otherwise, Dent testified that Meiklejohn had monitored the website and that it was "still" online after five days TR p34l30-44. However, Meiklejohn had testified that she had no knowledge of whether the website had remained online during that entire period of time. Only that it was online at the precise moments she checked it once each day. Again, this is significant because I was charged with failing to take the website down, not with putting it back online.
And that was about it for Johnson's direct-examination of Dent. And so, begins my cross-examination of this sleazy, lying prick.
Dent Admits He Has No Knowledge of Whether the Website Had Been Taken Down
On cross, Dent testified that three days after my release, the website was "still" online TR p36l18-19. However, on further questioning, he admitted his only source for that information was Catherine Meiklejohn TR p36l21-24. But Meiklejohn had already testified that she had no knowledge of whether or not the website had been taken offline for any duration of time between the few brief times she had checked it TR p5l19-p6l10; p7l35-40. On other words, Dent had no knowledge of whether the website was still online or whether it had been taken down then put back online. And that is a very significant distinction because I was only charged with failing to take the website offline.
I then directly asked Dent whether he had any evidence about whether or not the website had been take down at any point within the 48 hours following my release. He responded, he did not TR p36l29-33.
Dent Admits If He Had Known the Website Had Been Taken Down He Would Not Have Arrested Me
I asked Dent, if I had taken down the website within 48 hours of my release would I have been in compliance with the condition I am charged with violating. The judge interrupted and stated that's a question of law, for her to answer, not the detective TR p37l13-21. So I rephrased the question as: If the website had been taken down within 48 hours of my release, would he have come and arrested me? Dent responded that in that case I would have complied with the condition so, no, he would not have come and arrested me TR p37l24-29. It's interesting that when I first asked the question, the judge did not allow Dent to answer, saying that's a question of the judge to decide; so I asked the same question a different way, and then she allows Dent to answer it. Very weird.
I then suddenly shifted the focus of my question to Dent's credibility and his history of lying on the witness stand. I asked whether he had ever lied on the witness stand; whether he had ever committed perjury; whether he had ever provided testimony he knew to be false. He responded "No" to each question TR p38l39-45.
I whipped out my copy of the transcript of Dent's testimony from the trial in 244069-7-B.
Dent Admits To Lying On the Witness Stand
First, I drew Dent's attention to the point where Johnson had asked him whether he had asked me whether I had taken down the website, and Dent had responded "I did". Dent agreed he had said that TR p41l11-17, p41l28-30. I then turned to my cross-examination of Dent at that trial, where I had asked him whether the topic of me taking down the website had even come up at all during the interrogation, and he had responded "I don't believe I had asked you if you had taken down the website..." TR p44l2-28.
At that moment, Dent realized he was on record lying on the witness stand. He became extremely evasive. I tried to get him to admit he had lied on the witness stand but he kept bobbing and weaving, desperately trying not to commit to an answer which could, potentially, ruin his career as a detective TR p44l32-p45l18. But I persisted. I would not let it go.
Perhaps Dent realized I wasn't going to move on from the topic. He started rambling nonsense, irrelevant stuff that had nothing to do with anything TR p45l19-p46l5. Until, eventually, he acknowledged: "I told him, yes. You're absolutely right. I probably should not have answered that yes." TR p46l5-7.
Having admitted to lying on the witness stand, I wanted to make sure the point was not missed by the judge. I asked Dent: Are you now saying that that response you gave to the prosecutor was not correct? Dent was, of course, very evasive again. He tried twisting his words around. He claimed he had asked me multiple times, during the interrogation, who has access to the website TR p46l12-28. But that, of course, doesn't answer my question.
Upon Dent's admission he had lied at my previous trial, the judge said and did nothing. And that's what it looks like when a BC law enforcement officer gets caught lying on the witness stand, then actually admits he lied on the witness stand. Nothing! The judges ignore it. No mention of it in her later Reasons for Judgment.
Dent Gets Caught Lying Again
Following Dent's preceding admission to lying on the witness stand at my prior trial, I asked him about his notes, which he had relied on while testifying at that trial.
Earlier, I had asked Dent if he had referred to his notes when he testified at my prior trial that he had asked me if I had taken down the website. After reviewing the transcript of his testimony from that trial, he agreed that he had referred to his notes when he testified that he had asked me if I had taken down the website TR p43l13-46.
Now, I point out to Dent that when he testified at that trial that he had not asked me about taking down the website, he also said he was referring to his notes TR p46l32-p47l1.
I say that Dent had provided two contradictory responses, both times claiming his response was based on his notes of the interrogation. I very sarcastically asked him: Are you saying your notes changed between the time when the prosecutor asked you and when I asked you? Dent responded, his notes did not change TR p47l8-15. Keep in mind, we're talking about notes which were written at the time of the interrogation, and which become evidence in the criminal proceeding. For those notes to somehow change in the midst of the trial, in the few hour window between when Dent testified on direct and when he testified on cross, would amount to evidence tampering.
So, even though Dent didn't directly admit to lying about his notes, clearly either his notes changed (which means he tampered with evidence); or he lied about what was in his notes; or the laws of physics and reality no longer exist and reality is whatever each individual wants it to be from one moment to the next.
And Yet Again, I Catch Dent Lying On the Witness Stand
Next, I presented Dent with yet another contradiction in his testimony from my previous trial.
Dent had testified that he had personal, first-hand knowledge of the website being online more than 48 hours following my release from custody. But in his testimony, he explicitly stated, repeatedly, that the website was "still" online. Meaning it had remained online, continuously, from the time of my release up to the time he accessed it a month later. He claimed to have personal knowledge of it being so TR p47l46-p48l22.
But then I pointed Dent to the next part of the transcript, where I questioned him on whether he had any knowledge of the website actually remaining online, continuously, during that period of time and he responded that he had no knowledge of that TR p48l23-p49l21. I mean, either he had personal knowledge of it, or he didn't. The two options are obviously mutually exclusive. And at that point, Johnson quickly rose and objected to the question, claiming it's misleading. Johnson said I am comparing apples to oranges. He either pretended to be misunderstanding what I was asking, or he's an idiot and really was misunderstanding. In my experience with Johnson, either one might be true because he is a compulsive liar and a bit of an idiot.
But then the judge jumped on the idiocy bandwagon and also pretended to (or really did) misunderstand what I was getting at. She said she understood what I was getting at, that first he said it was still up, but then he admitted he couldn't say if it was up continuously. As if "still up" and "up continuously" were two different things. But they're not! In the context which Dent was using it, "still" means "always, continuously" Merriam-Webster still (adverb), (2)(a).
Denhoff Delusionally Refuses to Accept the Reality that Is Occurring Right In Front of Her
Some time later, after question Dent on his and Johnson's deliberate misrepresentation of the statements I made during Dent's 2020 interrogation of me, Dent was excused from the witness stand so I, Johnson, and the judge could address some concerns the judge seemed to be having with my line of questioning.
While Dent was out of the courtroom, at one point the judge actually said "I haven't heard any glaring examples of where he [Dent] was knowingly untruthful that would affect his cridibility..." TR p56l10-12. Say what! Dent himself admitted that he had knowingly made false statements in his testimony at my previous trial! Is Denhoff on crack? Are the BC justice system participants in such an advanced state of denial and self-righteousness that they refuse to realize they're lying, even as they're admitting they're lying?
Denhoff then went on to say:
...unless you have some concrete examples of him [Dent] being untruthful, the fact that he may have been mistaken in his testimony, or that he failed to tell the court that you may have been sarcastic when you said something, I'm not sure that that's all that helpful for me in assessing the witness.TR 2022-02-23 p56l25-33
Concrete examples!?!? What the fuck does she call the last 20 minutes of cross-examination?
Dent Reiterates There Is No Evidence That I Have Anything to Do With the Website
To wrap up my cross-examination of Dent, I asked him again, as directly as possible, who owns the website. He responded he doesn't know. I asked him who has administrative control over the website. He responded he doesn't know. I asked him if I have control of the website. He responded he doesn't know TR p62l47-p63l8. Hmm. Pretty fucking clear, right? There's no evidence and no knowledge that I have any control over the website. And if I don't have any control over the website, then how can I be expected to shut down the website?
No Investigation Into Whether I Have Any Association With the Website
I then asked Dent whether he had been in contact with the hosting provider to verify whether I have any association with the hosting account. He responded that he had not TR p63l14-18. How can this be? I'm accused of failing to shut down a website and yet the police have not even bothered to determine whether or not I'm even the person that put, and is keeping, the website online?
I asked Dent why they have not put any investigation into determining whether I even have anything to do with the website. He responded, at length, that the purpose of the investigation was that the website was still active, not about who has ownership or administrative access to it TR p63l21-34. So I asked him: Wouldn't it be critical to the charge, to establish that I even have the ability to do what the probation condition required? He responded, yes TR p63l44-p64l1. In other words, before it could be said that I violated the probation condition by failing to take down the website, it first must be proven that I even have the physical capability and legal authority to take down the website! But of course, that didn't stop the police from arresting me, or the prosecutors from prosecuting me. Canadian justice at it's finest.
Given Dent's admissions on the witness stand, I said it seems his beliefs about my involvement with the website are based on his own assumptions and inferences, not on any actual evidence. He agreed TR p64l36-45.
Dent Refuses to Say Who Wrote the Interrogation Highlights, Admits He Made False Statements In His Report
I next turned to the list of highlights from the interrogation in the current matter. The list which Tanino had testified Dent wrote. I wanted to ask Dent about the point where it says "He stated that he e-mailed his friend who is running the website...". Because I most certainly did not say anything remotely along the lines of the person running the website being a friend of mine.
Dent was extremely evasive on the question of who actually wrote that bullet point. He would say Tanino provided him a summary and he put that into his report. Then he said Tanino provided him a "task action report" (TAR) and he put the points from that into his report. I asked him: Did Tanino write these points? To which he responded, he wrote the narrative. Why is it so fucking hard to get a straight answer from this asshole? So finally, I asked Dent: If I had a question about what's in this list would I have to address those to Tanino or to you? But even then he tried to avoid answering. He just kept saying he wrote the narrative, but the list items came from Tanino's TAR, but he wouldn't say whether the wording of those list items was his words or Tanino's words TR p66l1-p67l29. Either he was trying to protect Tanino, or he was trying to cover his own ass. Based on my experience with this greasy bastard, I would assume the latter.
Some time later, though, when questioning Dent on an indirectly related matter, he was so concerned about evading those questions, that he inadvertently admitted it was him who wrote the bullet points in the list of highlights TR p71l13-14.
It's very curious that Dent was so concerned about not admitting he wrote those points. I wonder why.
So, much later in the cross-examination, I returned to this point of Dent claiming I said I emailed my "friend who is running the website" TR 2022-02-23 p85l24-45. And at that point, Dent finally directly admitted that the statement was false TR p85l46-p86l7.
And then, after soem back and forth, I asked Dent if he agrees then, that I never said anything about knowing the person that's currently running the website, and he responded "I also see that you still have the intention of taking the website back." But what the fuck does that have to do with anything? Why is it so impossible for this tub-o-lard lunchbox to just answer the fucking questions? You see, this is a strong indication that he's lying. A person who's being honest doesn't have to play all these evasion games.
Dent Gets Caught Lying Again
Later, I asked Dent about when he testified at the previous trial and he said, on direct, he had reviewed the previous file TR 2020-11-26 p6l35-36. So, in his testimony in the current matter, he clarified that he had misspoke at the previous trial and what he meant was that he reviewed the file in that matter TR 2022-02-23 p69l5-p69l31.
The problem with that, though, is that when I was cross-examining him at the previous trial, he testified that he did not review the file TR 2020-11-26 p21l47. So was he lying when he said he had reviewed the file or was he lying when he said he had not reviewed the file? Who knows with this slippery prick, he contradicts himself almost as much as Capuano.
Dent Confirms the Digital Forensics Unit Is Incompetent
I then moved on to questioning Dent about the search of my laptop. Initially, Johnson objected to this, claiming it's not relevant becuase he was not relying on anything from the laptop. The judge agreed with him TR p73l11-15. But I went ahead with it anyway because proving the VPD's incompetence was one of my objectives.
Dent vaguely acknowledged that the DFU had only searched the Windows partition on the laptop.
The laptop was configured as a dual-boot, with a 200GB Windows partition and an 800GB Linux partition. Windows was only on there for the extremely rare case where I might need to run a program which is only available Windows. I've never actually used it on that laptop (other than to boot it one time and run a couple tests to make sure it was working). I always use openSUSE Linux or Solaris on my laptops.
Nancy Yingling in the DFU didn't even realize the machine was configured with dual-boot. She had no idea there was a Linux partition. All she noticed was the little Windows partition. And she was so incompetent she didn't even notice it was a 1TB drive but only 200GB appeared to be partitioned. It never occurred to her that 800GB appeared to be unaccounted for. And as for Dent, as he admitted, he had no idea what I was talking about TR p74l8-p76l8.
You would think the Vancouver Police Department's Digital Forensics Unit would have some technical people who realize there are more operating systems than just Windows and OS X. But then, considering the extent of their technical training is basically attending a few basic seminars, and they have a complete inability to do anything beyond the strict sequence of steps they've been trained to do, I supposed it's understandable.
It's illegal in Canada to advise a person on how to commit or get away with a criminal offense, so I would certainly never do that (while I'm physically present within Canada), but it sure seems to me if criminals wanted to make sure the Canadian police could not access their data all they'd have to do is use Linux (or any other Unix-like system) and, for additional certainty, create the filesystems encrypted (which Linux natively supports). But again, I'm not advising anyone ... I'm just stating an observation.
Dent Admits He Refused to Try to Obtain Exculpatory Evidence He Knew About
I questioned Dent on what efforts were made to verify whether I had actually sent that email to editor@desicapuano.com. I asked him if they had applied for a search warrant, production order, or subpoena to access my Gmail account. Dent admitted none of that was done, no effort was made to access my Gmail account. I asked, why not? Dent responded that the decision was made to search the laptop and, since they didn't find anything on there, nothing further was done TR p76l40-p77l4.
This proves that the police, working under the direction of the BC Prosecution Service, were informed of the existence of exculpatory evidence which would effectively prove my innocence, made a very deliberate decision NOT to make any effort to find or verify that exculpatory evidence.
You might argue, well why didn't I try to obtain that evidence? Because I was in custody and didn't have access to the internet, or to any resources outside the jail. And you might also argue that it's not the prosecutor's and the police's responsibility to seek out exculpatory evidence for the defendant. Sure, but they didn't have to "seek it out", I told them exactly where they could find it. THEY made the choice NOT to obtain it because it would have destroyed their case.
Then, further proving my point that the police and prosecutors only seek out evidence to support the allegations, and knowingly ignore evidence which might disprove them, Johnson unwittingly admitted that with a Gmail account the messages are stored on the server, not on the user's devices TR p77l20-26.
Dent and Johnson Gave Me Someone Else's Confidential Disclosure Material
We then turned our focus the the VPD's Digital Forensics Unit's "Forensic Acquisition Summary" report. This is where things really go bad for Johnson and Dent.
I start by asking Dent whether he reviews the material from the VPD before it is disclosed to me. He responded, typically no TR p78l9-13. That seemed somewhat peculiar to me since he's the Lead Investigator, he's the one on the case who is ultimately responsible for what happens with respect to the police involvement.
Dent initially claimed to be unaware of what a "forensic acquisition summary" was, so I presented him a copy of it. Upon a cursory review, Dent acknowledged he was familiar with it TR p78l6-8; p78l29-32; p78l40-45.
But after looking at it a little more closely, he realized it contained a few pages of confidential disclosure material, containing evidence of a sensitive nature, from another of Dent's cases. The erroneous pages contained, amongst other things, the full name and address of the victim in that other case. It was a stalking case, where the defendant had allegedly threatened the victim and her friends with physical harm, set the victim's mother's house and car on fire, poured caustic chemicals under the door of the victim's neighbor/friend, and lingered for prolonged periods outside the door to the victim's apartment.
Upon realizing this severe blunder on the parts of the VPD and the Crown Counsel, Dent said:
I'm just going to make a quick comment here. I'm reviewing this document and everything looks apparent except for this last page.
That's in relation to another one of my files that has absolutely no bearing on this whatsoever and I'm shocked that this was included in this file.
To which I slyly responded:
Right. That was going to be one of the questions I was going to ask about, is why somebody else's disclosure material is included in my disclosure?
I say I "slyly responded" because I had been scheming this for some time. The eroneous material had been provided to me on 2021-11-09, almost three months prior, and I sat on it quietly. I did not inform Johnson or the VPD of it. I intended to wait until Dent (and/or Yingling) were on the witness stand, then confronting them with it on the record. That way, they wouldn't be able to take the disclosure back, delete the erroneous pages, then deny it ever happened. Also, that way, with Dent on the stand, he would have to answer my questions about how it's possible that someone else's disclosure could possibly get past Yingling, then Dent, then Johnson, unnoticed.
In typical Detective Kyle Dent fashion, he wasted no time in putting the blame on someone else. He said that's a question I would need to ask of Yingling TR p79l12-18. However, even though it may have been Yingling who inadvertently added the pages to my disclosure, Dent was the Lead Investigator so he is ultimately responsible for ensuring something like this doesn't happen.
Dent went on to reiterate that he can guarantee there was nothing relevant between me and that other case TR p79l18-21. No fucking shit, Sherlock! My concern and interest isn't in how that other case relates to mine, it's how the fuck someone else's extremely sensitive and private information ended up mixed in with mine and how no one in the VPD or the BCPS didn't notice.
I told Dent, "Oh no, I understand that has absolutely nothing to do with my case and no relevance. I am curious though, is this something that happens often?" To which Dent responded: "I really hope not."
Having proven and exposed this phenomenal blunder on the parts of the VPD and BCPS, I moved on with my cross-examination of Dent.
Then, some time later, perhaps 20 minutes or so, I don't know, Johnson interrupted to bring up the erroneous disclosure again. He asked the judge if the pages could be removed from the disclosure since they don't relate to my case. The judge agreed that the pages should be removed from the evidence and shredded TR p83l35-p84l16.
Dent then asked if that was the only copy I had of the erroneous material. He was clearly very, very worried about being involved in giving me someone else's material TR p84l17-18. He, Johnson, and the judge kept trying to downplay the significance of the fuck-up, by saying the issue is that it has no relevance to my case TR p84l25-26, rather than acknowledging that the police and the prosecutors have a very strict obligation to ensure the privacy of an accused person's disclosure material and, much more so, the privacy of a so-called "vulnerable victim". Yeah, they really, really fucked up big time giving me the information of a woman who was being stalked, threatened and terrorized by an unhinged psychopath.
The judge asked me if I have any other copies of the material. I told her I do not have any other copies in my possession or control, but I pointed out to her that apparently one of the disclosure hard drives the prosecutor had provided me has "disappeared" TR p84l30-39. I'm neither admitting nor denying any knowledge of that lost hard drive, but I can say that all of the material which was on those drives is now on this website. Coincidence?
So moving on then, with my cross of Dent.
The Scope of Search Warrants for Electronic Devices
One interesting thing which came up, was the timing of the search of my laptop. The warrant to search the laptop was valid from 2021-08-19 through 2021-09-02 Warrant to Search, a two week period. The laptop was removed from the locker and the contents of the Windows partition was extracted on 2021-08-24 and 2021-08-25 DFU Report. Then, Dent actually searched through the data on 2021-10-13 DFU Report - almost six weeks after the warrant had expired.
When I questioned Dent about this, he testified that a search of electronic devices is considered executed when the data is extracted from the device, onto VPD's system, not when the actual search of that extracted data occurs TR p80l41-p81l17.
This is significant because in my next case/trial (244069-10-BC), the VPD didn't even extract the data from my phone until about three weeks after the warrant had expired and, in that case, the prosecutor (Tara Laker) argued that the dates on the warrant applied only to when the police could remove the device from their secure locker and bring it to the DFU. And that as long as that was done within the times on the warrant, then the data could be extracted and searched at any time, which completely contradicts what Dent and Johnson are saying here. Of course, Laker did not have a single case law to support that and the judge was clearly skeptical, but in usual Canadian legal tradition, the judge ruled in favor the prosecution anyway, and found the search of the phone legal. Just another example of how Canadian judges and prosecutors only apply the law when it's consistent with the ruling they want to make.
Dent Admits to Making False Statements In His Reports
I then questioned Dent on the statement in his report, where he said:
The website was written in the first person and was made with the purpose of posting defamatory and in most cases, false information about Capuano.
I asked him if he believed that to be true TR p82l17-29. If he responded "yes", then I would inquire what that belief was based on, and he would have to admit it's based on absolutely nothing. If he responded "no", then he'd be admitting to lying in his reports.
Not suprisingly, Dent was evasive. He responded that he obtained the information from the "background of events", and he included it because it seemed relevant TR p82l30-38. That doesn't answer my question at all. The question was whether he believed it to be true, not where he obtained or whether it was relevant. What is wrong with this guy? Is he brain damaged? Or is he doing like compulsive liars do when they're lying and they're trying to avoid having to admit they're lying?
I asked him: So, you thought it relevant to include, without any consideration for the accuracy or correctness of the information? He responded that it had already been tried in court TR p82l39-42. Do you see how utterly brain-dead these Canadian justice system participants are? If a court makes a "finding" about something, then it becomes an unquestionable fact which they would never even think to consider, no matter what or how much physical proof is shown. If the court made a "finding" that Detective Kyle Dent was not real, did not exist, Dent would blindly accept that and refuse to even consider that his actual existence proved that "finding" is false. Now imagine a society where such moronic, delusional idiots actually had the power to lock you in a concrete cell indefinitely.
I corrected Dent, that in fact, the question of whether the information on the website was true had never been addressed by any court TR p82l43-45.
I said to Dent: So I assume from that response, that you've never actually found any false or incorrect information on the website TR p82l47-p83l3. If he had, he would have said so. That's how jackasses like Dent think. If their response will harm the defendant, they'll give a clear, direct answer; but if their response might help the defendant, they'll be as evasive as possible and try everything to not have to answer the question. There is absolutely nothing decent or honorable about that. Just tell the fucking truth!!!
Dent's response was that he had not investigated the website TR p83l4. Okay, so if he had not investigated the website then he must not have found any false information on it. Right? Which means he had no knowledge of, and no basis for making, that statement in his report. He is admitting that his report is, essentially, gossip.
Dent then acknowledged he had only looked at a few pages of the website, but in those pages he did not find any false information TR p83l5-19.
At that point, the judge interjected, saying we've strayed from the issue before the court TR p83l20-27. Well, phooey on her, but I disagree. From my perspective, the whole point of this trial was getting this shit-for-brains on the witness stand and confronting him with all of these things that I have been. What the fuck would I care about proving my innocence on a breach of probation charge for refusing to take down the website?
I Confront Dent On His Deliberate Misrepresentations of My Statements
I asked Dent if he deliberately misrepresented my statements from his interrogation of me at the previous trial. He denied that he did. So I asked him, if while he was testifying at that trial, he believed the sarcastic and satirical statements I made during the interrogation were actually true. He once again became evasive and refused to give a direct answer. He responded that it's not his role to say whether or not I was lying TR p89l35-p90l6. Once again, that doesn't actually answer my question, so I told him what I'm asking is whether he believed my statements were true, not whether they were actually serious TR p90l9-11. The issue of whether he believed the statements were serious is critical because he presented them to the court as being serious, so if he didn't actually believe I was serious then he was lying, he was knowingly misrepresenting my statements.
And again, Dent's incredible efforts at being evasive on this point strongly suggests he's lying.
At this point, the judge interjected again, saying it's not relevant because it's up to her to decide if someone is lying. She said, otherwise she's relying on someone else to tell her whether they think the person is truthful TR p90l12-22. Clearly, Denhoff is just as much of an idiot as Dent because I very clearly stated, the question is not about whether I was being truthful but whether Dent believed I was being truthful.
How can you possibly expect justice from a justice system where the administrators of justice are dumb as rocks?
Denhoff also said: Certainly at the previous trial it would have been open to me to challenge Dent on the accuracy of his representations of my statements TR p90l29-34. Sure, except that that asshole, Johnson, withheld all the disclosure until three days before the trial so there was no way I could be prepared to cross-examine Dent. And then when the late disclosure was brought up to that other asshole, Judge Gregory Rideout, he said I should have raised the issue sooner and the start of the trial is not an appropriate time to raise disclosure issues. Except that that same asshole, Johnson, refused to schedule a pretrial conference as I had requested, so that we could address the outstanding disclosure issues TR p4l26-41!
And finally, in closing, I had Dent reiterate some of the most critical points of his testimony. Namely:
- The VPD did absolutely nothing to verify whether or not I had actuall sent the email to editor@desicapuano.com TR p92l5-12;
- The VPD had absolutely no idea there was a Linux partition on the hard drive of my laptop, which occupied 80% of the drive TR p92l13-26;
- There was absolutely no attempt made to verify who has ownership or control of the desicapuano.com website TR p92l27-32;
- He had no knowledge of whether or not the website had been taken down at any point within the 48 hours following my release from custody TR p92l43-p93l1;
- There is no evidence that I've had any involvement with the website while I've been on probation TR p92l20-27.
Well, pretty fucking clear, right? No evidence I have anything to do with the website; no evidence the website wasn't taken offline within 48 hours; no attempt to obtain the exculpatory evidence I informed them of; no attempt to verify whether I havr anything to do wit the website. Seems pretty cut-and-dry. No way they can get a conviction based on the evidence that's been presented.
And that concludes Dent's testimony. Given that one of the primary objectives with this trial was to get that jerky ass on the stand and confront him with the proof he committed perjury, I'd say it was pretty successful.
The Burden Is On Me To Prove I Don't Have Access to the Website
At one point, during my cross-examination of Dent, the judge actually stated that the prosecution is only required to prove that I failed to do what the probation order required me to do, and that the prosecution was not required to prove I had the physical capability or the legal authority to do what the probation order required TR p89l20-29.
However that's insane because it places an impossible burden on me. In order to prove I have no association with the website I would need the cooperation of either the hosting provider or the person who IS currently running the website. On the other hand, if I actually was the one running the website, it would be very easy for the police and prosecutors to prove. Of course, they would also need the cooperation of the hosting provider, but they could always compel that with a subpoena or production order.
That concluded the prosecution's case.
The judge then inquired whether I intended to call any witnesses or provide any evidence in my defense. During this interaction, she mentioned that my defense may be that I didn't have the ability to shut down the website because I no longer owned it. She also suggested the analogy of not being able to surrender one's firearms because they were destroyed or sold prior to the probation order being imposed. This shows that she was aware of the questions I had raised during my cross-examinations TR p94l27-36.
I told the judge I have decided I will testify. In fact, I had intended all along to testify, but no point telling Johnson and Denhoff that.
The judge claimed the prosecution had established a prima facie case by establishing the website was accessible more than 48 hours following my release TR p97l29-33. However, what the prosecution didn't establish was that I had anything at all to do with the website which was online. If somebody else, let's say for example, Desiree or one of her supporters had put the website online so that I'd be arrested and imprisoned, then how the hell could I be expected to shut it down? It seems to me, that one of the essential elements the prosecution should have been required to prove is that I had the ability and the legal authority to shut down the website.
My Testimony
On 2022-02-25, the second day of the trial, I took the stand to testify in my defense TR 2022-02-25 p99l32-p129l17.
I started by explaining that while I was serving the sentence on the criminal harassment conviction in 2018, the web hosting plan had expired and the website had gone offline TR p99l46-p100l8. I went on to explain that following my arrest and detention in 2016, I had arranged for my friend Munoz in Los Angeles to execute the payments for the hosting plan for me, to ensure the website remained online, but that at some point she must have overlooked it TR p100l21-39.
I explained that at some point thereafter, in 2018, Munoz informed me she had arranged to have the website put back online. I clarified that it would not have been Munoz, herself, who had done it because she lacked the technical knowledge to do so, someone else would have to have done it on her behalf TR p100l44-p101l7. I emphasized, though, that Munoz arranging to put the website back online was done independet of me and without my knowledge TR p101l12-13.
I continued, that I had told Munoz at that time, that due to the probation order coming into effect following my upcoming release from custody, I did not want to know anything about who may have put the website online because as long as I don't know, I can't be compelled to say who is running it TR p101l25-29. And if I don't know who has control of the site then I can't be forced to contact that person and ask them to shut it down. I told Munoz, under no circumstances is she to inform me who has control of the site.
Now, bear in mind, the police and prosecutors has Munoz's contact information - the RCMP had sent detectives to Los Angeles in 2016, to interview her, and they had access to my phone records from the jail so they could easily have obtained her number from the jail if they didn't already have it. But even though the prosecutors and police had Munoz's contact information, they never once attempted to contact her to ask her who might have control of the site. Further evidence that they really didn't care about having the site shut down. They only cared about proving they could force me to be the one to shut it down.
One of my purposes in testifying at this trial was to finally point out, on the record, that the admissions I had previously made, and which I was previously convicted based on, could not possibly have been true. And that, even though it should have been obvious to the police, prosecutors, and judges that those admissions could not have been true, they accepted them unquestioningly. And the judges actually made rulings based on "facts" which even the dumbest imbecile would have known were false.
I pointed out that because I was still in custody at the time the website was put back online, it couldn't possibly have been me who had done so TR p102l18-22. This, of course, completely contradicts the statements I had previously and repeatedly made to the police that I am the one who put the website back online. It was very deliberate on my part, to make those false admissions. I wanted to see if the police, prosecutors, and judges would actually accept those admissions even though they could not possibly have been true. And they did.
I testified that on the day following my release from custody, I had sent an email to editor@desicapuano.com, requesting they shut down the website until my probation is complete TR p102l39-42.
I pointed out that there have been updates made to the website over the past year and a half, while I have been in custody, and so, somebody else must be maintaining it TR p102l46-p103l3.
I said that other than sending an email to the address on the site, requesting they shut it down, I don't know what more I could have done TR p103l12-15. I explained that I could have contacted the hosting provider to request they shut down the website, but since I'm not the account holder they wouldn't make any changes to the account based on my request TR p103l15-18.
I went on to point out that my statements about taking back control of the website after the probation orders expire is in no way incriminating because since there is nothing illegal about the website, it is only because of the prohibition imposed by the probation order that I am precluded from running it. And once the order expires then there will be nothing illegal about me returning to running it TR p103l20-30. I explained that, for example, the Justice Homles probation order prohibited me from using the internet, but once that order expires it will be perfectly legal for me to use the internet again TR p103l33-43. And so, likewise, when the probation orders expire, there will be nothing illegal about me maintaining, updating, or adding to the website TR p103l43-p104l1.
And then Johnson started his cross-examination.
I Acknowledge I Was Convicted of Criminal Harassment
First Johnson tried to get me to acknowledge I had been convicted of criminal harassment.
I responded that I was, in fact, convicted, but that there is a copious amount of proof on the website that Capuano committed extensive perjury at that trial, that the prosecutor at that trial knew she was committing perjury, and that there was excessive misconduct on the part of the trial prosecutor TR p105l4-14. Johnson ignored everything beyond my acknowledgement of being convicted.
I Acknowledge the Appeal Was Dismissed
Johnson next tried to get me to acknowledge I had appealed and that the appeal was "unsuccessful". I responded that the appeal was dismissed for failure to prosecute because I was in custody and did not have access to the legal research material I required to argue it TR p105l15-21.
I told Johnson it is misleading to say the appeal was "unsuccessful" because that suggests it was decided on it's merits, which was not the case. Johnson responded: "I didn't suggest anything. I'm just suggesting that it was not successful" TR p105l24-34. Yes, that is correct, he actually said "I didn't suggest anything. I'm just suggesting...". You might be wondering, how is it possible that he's "not suggesting" at exactly the same time that he's "just suggesting"? Who the fuck knows. He's a BC lawyer, he and reality have nothing to do with each other.
And again, Johnson completely ignored everything I said, other than my acknowledgement that the appeal was "not successful". Not because he's a very good lawyer and he stayed focussed on the issue he was pursuing, but because he's a wind up monkey who only knows to bang his cymbols together because that's all he's been hard-coded to do. Any input which falls outside the boundaries of what he's expecting to hear just sounds like white noise to him.
Delusional Automatons
This is a further example of what I keep saying about the BC justice system participants being delusional automatons. They will blindly accept anything the court or a judge says, no matter how outrageous or false it might be; and no matter what or how much evidence there may be proving it is false.
If Justice Holmes had stated in her Reasons for Sentence, that two plus two equals five, then Johnson and Denhoff would unquestioningly accept that two plus two does, in fact, equal five. If you put two apples in front of them; then another two apples next to those; then tell them to count how many apples there are they will tell you there are four apples. And if you then ask them how much two plus two is, they will respond: It is five. Because Justice Holmes said it is five, so it must be so.
And if another BC Suprmeme Court judge issued a finding that two plus two equals seven, then these people would blindly accept that two plus two equals both five and seven simultaneously. Really! I'm not being silly. They really are that stupid.
Stupid Lawyer Tactics: Irrelevant Questions About Things Which Aren't In Dispute
Johnson then asked a bunch of pointless, irrelevant questions regarding my prior convictions and sentences. Eventually, I got annoyed with this stupid time wasting and pointed out that none of what he's asking about is in dispute TR p105l35-p106l16. It was all documented in the JUSTIN report he was reviewing with me. He could simply have asked me if everything on it was correct.
Of course, I realize this is a tactic - he thinks that by dragging it out it makes it seem more significant, larger than it really is. Even though the questions have no relevance to the question of guilt, they create the impression of bad character on my part.
If his audience (the judge) consists of complete morons then that would be true. But if his audience has even the tiniest amount of intelligence, then he's just being annoyingly redundant. So is he doing this because he believes Denhoff is a moron? Or because he's a moron?
And then, amazingly, Johnson continued on as though I had not just, essentially, called him an idiot by pointing out he's beating on questions about things which are documented in court records and which aren't in dispute TR p106l18-20. More evidence that he's a brainless automaton. He's been programmed to execute a precise sequence of steps and to ignore any variables which are outside predetermined bounds. He's a poorly written algorithm that uses too many hard-coded literals and has overly simplistic error handling (for those of you who are programmers).
Johnson then went on and on with pointless questions about my prior convictions and sentences for probation violations TR p106l18-p108l41. Again, this is all recorded in the JUSTIN report, which the judge would have access to so all these questions were completely pointless. Moreover, a person's prior convictions and sentences have no relevance in determining innocence or guilt. They are only relevant with respect to sentencing. So why did the judge even allow this seemingly endless line of questioning?
Regardless of Probation, the Website Will Not Come Down
Johnson questioned me on my statements to Judge Nancy Phillips, at my prior trial. In particular, Johnson read from the transcript of the sentencing proceedings in that matter, where I said:
...with respect to the probation condition about taking down the website, with all due respect to everybody who is here, there is absolutely no way the website is going to come down on my release from custody...
I responded that I do agree I said that. I went on to point out that because I don't have ownership or control over the website, locking me up or punishing me for the website being online is not going to make whoever is running it take it down TR p109l18-p109l46. This is especially so since the person keeping the website online was doing so expressly to cause me to be arrested and imprisoned. In that respect, punishing me is only going to encourage them to keep it online.
When Johnson summarized my statements, he falsely claimed I also said "If I need to transfer ownership of the website to another party, so that I technically don't own it at the time, so be it." Which I have said, in other contexts, in the past; but did not say during the Phillips trial/sentencing TR p110l13-16.
My Letter to Detective Jennifer Fontana
Next, Johnson questioned me on the letter I sent to VPD Detective Jennifer Fontana, who was the Lead Investigator on 244069-6-B.
But before Johnson could ask me any questions, I stated that at the time of writing the letter, I was actively seeking to convince the BCPS to prosecute me for criminal harassment based on the website being back online TR p111l8-11. That is to say, I was deliberately antagonizing the police and the BCPS so they would prosecute me for criminal harassment. And so the truthfulness of any of the statements made in the letter is questionable.
Johnson's Refusal to Disclose the Letter
I brought up the fact that the letter hadn't been disclosed to me in the current matter, nor had I been informed of the prosecution's intention to rely on it.
Johnson replied that it had been disclosed to me in a previous trial TR p111l30-35. Which is completely irrelevant because part of the purpose of disclosure is not only to inform the defense of the existence of the given evidence but also of the prosecution's intention to rely on it at the trial. This is so the defense is not caught off guard, and can be prepared to address it at the trial.
If the prosecution was not required to disclose evidence the defense was already aware of and/or familiar with, then they would not be required to disclose, for example, the police interrogation videos - because, obviously, the defendant participated in the interrogation and, therefore, must already be familiar with what he said during the interrogation.
Surprisingly, the BCCA agreed with me on this point, in their Reasons for Judgment in my appeal of this conviction Reasons for Judgment ¶72-76. But they still dismissed the appeal, regardless.
My Purpose With the Letter; Mocking the Justice System
Johnson asked me to confirm that the purpose of the letter was to provoke the police to charge me with criminal harassment. I corrected him, saying more important than the police charging me was for the BC Prosecution Service to prosecute me for it TR p111l39-45. Now, take a moment and consider what a slap in the face that must be for both Johnson and Denhoff. I made no attempt to evade stating it; Johnson did not have to lead me into having to admit it; I came right out and volunteered the information. As if to say "Yeah, fuck you, what are you going to do about it?"
I then added, the police did recommend a charge of criminal harassment, but the BCPS declined to prosecute. Johnson reminded me that I had even asked him, directly, to charge me with criminal harassment. To which I reminded him, I told him I would plead guilty to any probation violation charges he brought against me if he agreed to prosecute me for criminal harassment based on the website TR p111l47-p112l9. What a cocky, arrogant prick I am! How dare I get on the witness stand and say such things! Just who do I think I am, making such a mockery of their pathetic attempt at a justice system.
The Reasons I Want to Be Prosecuted for Criminal Harassment; Bringing the Administration of Justice Into Disrepute
Johnson then tried, in vain, to get me to say the reason I wanted to be prosecuted again for criminal harassment was so that I could cross-examine Capuano TR p112l10-14. And I do believe Johnson is such a simple minded fool that he actually does beleive that.
I told Johnson that was only part of it, and that the important thing is that if there was another criminal harassment trial I would be able to bring up all the proof of the perjury and corruption that occurred at the first trial TR p112l15-25. And that, of course, would bring the administration of justice into disrepute.
Johnson then continued to question me on the letter I had sent to Fontana, and I objected to it based on it's lack of relevance to the current charge TR p112l26-42. The letter had been written almost three years prior, and there had been multiple arrests and prosecutions related to the website since that time. Any statements or allusions I may have made in that letter would have no bearing on whether or not I had any influence over the website at the time relevant to the current charge (namely, in August 2022). Johnson's response was that the next sentence of the letter would be relevant to the current matter TR p112l43-p113l7. But he was wrong. The next sentence, where I said that by publishing the new website I have engaged in exactly the same conduct which formed much of the basis of the 2017 criminal harassment conviction, was still not relevant because even if what I was saying were true, I was talking about conduct which occurred years before the time relevant to the current charge. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Chris Johnson is an incompetent buffoon.
Denhoff Ignores My Objection to Admitting the Letter As An Exhibit
After cross-examining me on the letter I had sent to Detective Fontana, Johnson requested it be admitted as an exhibit and the judge proceeded to admit it without asking if I had any objection to it TR p114l15-32. Now, it should be pointed out, I did actually already state an objection to the letter based it it's lack of relevance to the current allegations TR p112l40-42, but Denhoff completely ignored that.
Then, after admitting the letter as a trial exhibit, Denhoff asked if I have any objection to it being admitted as an exhibit. I responded "Oh, yes, yes...". Then Denhoff cut me off and said "Okay, thank you" and she told Johnson to proceed TR p115l3-7.
This is an issue I raised on appeal, and the prosecution argued that Denhoff had phrased her question as a negative, saying "So, you have no objection to that being Exhibit 1, Mr. Fox?", and by responding "Yes", I was saying I have no objection. While they would be technically correct, given the context of Denhoff's question it is reasonable that I would have understood it as "So, do you have any objection to that being Exhibit 1, Mr. Fox?"
Johnson Requests I Not Be Provided Copies of the Trial Exhibits
After admitting the Fontana letter as an exhibit, Johnson requested I return to him the copy he gave me to reference during the cross-examination TR p114l34-35.
I responded that since it is now an exhibit shouldn't I be allowed to keep a copy. The judge asked, "Does he not have a copy?" Johnson falsely claimed I did have a copy TR p114l36-39.
I was in no mood for any more of this sleazy, lying bastard's nonsense so I assertively stated "Really? Where?" Johnson said it's "referenced in some of the materials that you have", then he probably realized the idiocy of requesting I not be permitted to keep a copy of: a) a letter I wrote; and b) a document which had been admitted as an exhibit; and he said he doesn't really object to me having a copy TR p114l40-47.
I really am astounded sometimes that such an imbecile can be such a highly regarded criminal defense lawyer.
I Couldn't Have Done the Things I Admitted to Doing
Now that Johnson was finished with cross-examining me about the letter I sent Fontana, I point out that the physical evidence actually proves that any admissions I may have made in the letter, or otherwise, could not have been true.
I also point out that the physical evidence supports what I am stating on the witness stand, even though that contradicts what I had said to the police. And finally, I say that I believe the physical evidence far outweighs anything people may say TR p115l27-37.
The physical evidence I am referring to is, of course, that I was in custody during the times the things I've admitted to occurred. And in custody, I did not have any access to the internet. Therefore, I couldn't have done the things I admitted to doing, such as putting the desicapuano.com website online.
Johnson later asked me if I am now disagreeing that I created the website which was accessible at desicapuano.com TR p119l30-33. And although he phrased it as "created", I'm sure what he meant was "published" or "made publicly accessible" since the website was actually "created" in 2014. The website wasn't created in 2018, it was simply put back online after being offline for a short period of time.
I responded that right now, under oath, I am saying I had no direct involvement with the website being put back online. And I again pointed out the fact that I was in custody at the time it was put back online fairly proves that must be true TR p119l39-p120l1.
Giving Control of the Website to Munoz
Johnson tried to get me to admit I gave control of the website to my friend Munoz TR p120l35-38. What he was trying to lead me into was admitting that since the person who currently has control of the website is a friend of mine then I would have been able to ask her to shut it down and she would.
But Johnson's strategy was stupid because, as I explained, I never actually gave Munoz control of the website - she had it all along. Because Munoz was the one that put the website back online in 2018, she had control of it right from the beginning. I never had control of it, so I couldn't give her control of it TR p120l39-42.
I had control of the original website hosting plan, prior to my arrest in May 2016, and I had given Munoz control of that website. But that website went offline in 2018 and the "new" website was subsequently put online. That "new" website was put online while I was in custody. Which means I never had control of it, Munoz did. And the allegations in this case are about the "new" website, not the original one.
Johnson Tries to Get Me to Admit There Was More I Could Have Done to Get the Website Taken Down
Later Johnson tried to get me to admit there's more I could have done, other than sending the email to editor@desicapuano.com TR p123l25-37. But when you get right down to it, he's just not that smart. As I pointed out to him, I had only been out of custody for five days, and we're talking about a website I have no ownership, control, or influence over. Moreover, although I didn't yet bring this up at that point of the cross-examination, the person who was keeping the website online at that time was doing so expressly to cause my arrest and imprisonment. So there was absolutely no way they were going to take it down.
I went on to reiterate that I have no control over the website, and also that there are other copies of the website online which I also have no control over TR p123l38-p124l2.
Johnson then said "That's not the question I'm asking you, Mr. Fox." TR p124l3-13
But, in fact, that is exactly the question he was asking me! His question, though phrased as a statement, was that there was much more I could have done. And my response was that I believe I did everything which was within my capabilities. How is that not a response to the substance of his question? Do you still doubt that Chris Johnson is as much of any idiot as I keep saying he is?
Johnson persisted in claiming there was more I could have done to cause the website to be shut down. I responded that I do not agree with him. And I told him if there's more I could have done then tell me, specifically, what more I could have done, and the next time I'm accused of not taking down the website I will do those things TR p124l15-22. Obviously, the beefy-tits retard had no comeback for that.
Later, Johnson claimed, or as he put it he "suggested" to me, that it would be a very easy thing for me to remove the website, but that I adamantly refuse to do so. I responded that I understand that is a "suggestion" he's making and he's entitled to make that or any other suggestion, but is there a question he wanted me to respond to? TR p126l4-10
Johnson responded, "It's a question". I pointed out he stated "I'm suggesting...", and asked "So, if it's a question, what exactly is the question?" TR p126l11-13.
Apparently, the judge did not see the humor in this and interrupted, telling me he's made an assertion that it would be very easy for the me to remove the website but that I adamantly refuse to do so TR p126l14-16. Simply repeating the same statement Johnson just made does not cause that statement to become a question, dumbass! So what the fuck is the question?
I tell Johnson, if that is the case, if it would be so easy for me to take down the website, then just tell me what he thinks I could have done to cause the website to be shut down TR p126l17-21. Denhoff interrupted me again, and told me now is the time for me to answer questions, not to ask them TR p126l20-36. What a load of shit! So this jackoff prosecutor is "suggesting" there is more I could have done and that if I had done that then I would not have been charged, and yet he's refusing to say what more he believes I could have done. You know why he's refusing to say what more I could have done? Because he knows there's nothing more I could have done! And you know why the judge is not allowimg me to ask him that? Because she, also, knows there's nothing more I could have done. Bloody jackasses!
Johnson Tries to Get Me to Admit I'm a Canadian Citizen
Johnson tried to get me to say I'm a Canadian citizen, and not an American citizen. He asked me if I agree that I've been denied admission to the US because I'm not a US citizen and am actually a Canadian citizen TR p125l31-35.
Obviously, I started by objecting to the question because it could not possibly have
Johnson asked again, if I agree I was refused entry to the US. I responded I have been denied admission to the US, but I have also been denied admission to Canada TR p125l47-p126l3.
Later, after I was finished testifying, I also pointed out that even though I was denied admission to the US on two occasions because I proactively informed CBP or Border Patrol that I had been previously removed, there have been many, many times I was granted admission to the US TR p132l3-13. I also reiterated that I have, on multiple occasions, also been denied admission to Canada TR p132l17-20.
But as I said, none of this has any relevance to any of the issues on trial. Moreover, Johnson even admitted he does not intend to use any information about my citizenship TR p132l28-30. So why the fuck was jerky boy asking about ... and why the fuck is psycho-judge allowing him to?
And in another of Johnson's typically sleazy moves, he claimed, during the interrogation by Tanino, she asked about the email I sent to editor@desicapuano.com and I refused to give it to her TR p127l19-22. I corrected him and told him that's not correct. What happened was Tanino asked for the passwords to my phone and laptop and thats what I refused to provide TR p127l23-28. Johnson agreed. I then pointed out that he knowingly made that same false claim at my 525 hearing a few months prior TR p127l30-37. With that, he shut the fuck up on that point and moved on.
Johnson then continued being a despicable sleaze, claiming I had said that if my laptop was brought to court for the trial, I may choose to use it to show the "purported email". I responded that I had no recollection of ever saying anything associating the email with my laptop TR p127l44-p128l2. Which would make sense since the email was stored in my Gmail account, on Google's servers, not on my laptop.
Johnson pursued the issue of the email I claimed to have sent to editor@desicapuano.com a bit more. He finished by saying, if in fact I had sent that email I would have shown it to somebody. I responded, "Would I have?" To which he said, "That's my suggestion to you." And to which I responded, "I believe your suggestion is inaccurate" TR p128l27-32. Remember, my objective was not being acquitted, it was proving corruption and misconduct in the BC justice system. And with respect to the email, my objective was to prove that the police and the prosecutors would make absolutely no attempt to obtain or verify the email because it would destroy the prosecution's case and prove my innocence. Thereby proving they're not interested in truth or justice, only in getting a conviction.
And that brings Johnson's cross-examination of me to an end. I believe I succeeded in repeatedly making Johnson look like the bungling fool he is.
But before leaving the witness stand, I pointed out that Johnson had advised me that if I were to rely on my laptop during my testimony, that may result in it being admitted as an exhibit which may result in the court ordering me to give the police and/or prosecution access to it, which would give them access to ALL of my data, including all of my emails TR p128l43-p129l12. Of course, even if the court ordered me to provide the passwords, I would still refuse. What's the worst they could do, charge me with disobeying a court order or contemp? Ooh, I'm so scared!
God damn, that's a lot to cover from what was less than three hours of testimony. There was more, but nothing interesting enough to bother including here.
At one point, during Johnson's cross-examination, Denhoff made reference to an admission she claimed I made at the start of the trial. She claims I admitted the website was online from August 12 through the 15 TR p119l14-19. She apparently "made a note" about it. However, I have no recollection of making that admission, so I checked the transcripts and, sure enough, there is no record of me making such an admission. Just more evidence of how the BC judges are either delusional or compulsive liars.
Closing Arguments
Johnson Offers to Go First, for My Benefit
Even though I testified, Johnson presented his closing arguments first. Usually, if the defense presents evidence, then the defense provides it's closing arguments first. And if the defense doesn't present evidence then the prosecution provides it's closing arguments first.
The defense presenting it's closing arguments first puts it at a disadvantage because it doesn't know what claims the prosecution is going to make in it's closing arguments. So, allowing me to go after Johnson benefited me by enabling me to respond to points Johnson raised in his closing which I may not have anticipated.
Johnson's Closing
The Email I Sent to editor@desicapuano.com
Johnson started his closing arguments by talking about my claim that I had sent an email to editor@desicapuano.com requesting they shut down the website until my probation is complete.
He claimed I declined the opportunity to provide a copy of that email TR p132l47-p133l1. Which is, on it's own, true. However, Johnson didn't mention that I had also stated the reasons I chose not to, for example, bring my laptop into the trial, or that I didn't have access to my email the entire time I was in custody.
Johnson argued that my refusal to provide a copy of that email shows that the email likely doesn't exist, but that even if it did exist, that falls far short of complying with the order TR p133l2-6.
Transerring Ownership of the Website
Johnson then claimed my testimony today, as it has been to the police in the past, was that I had transferred ownership of the website to another person. Denhoff interrupted, saying she doesn't think it's fair to say that my testimony was that I transferred ownership, what I testified was that I never had ownership of it because Munoz had put it online while I was in custody. Johnson, that kiss ass, responded "I think that's probably true" TR p133l7-21.
My Admissions That I Put the Website Online
Johnson continued that my testimony today contradicts my "other evidence" (meaning my prior statements to the police), because I have previously stated, on multiple occasions, that I was the one who put the website back online TR p133l31-34. But of course, Johnson ignored the fact that wen the website was put online I was in custody. So, as I've said, even though I may have "admitted" to being the one who put the website online, that was a simple impossibility.
And then, believe it or not, jerky-tits actually argued that there is evidence before the court that I am, in fact, the person who published the website TR p133l37-39. What the fuck evidence is he talking about? The only "evidence" was a letter I sent Detective Fontana in 2019. And even then, that's not evidence of the events referred to in the letter. It's just more words. If a witness or an accused says something happened, that is not evidence that it actually happened. It's just someone claiming it happened. It is almost painful how incredibly, phenomenally stupid the BC lawyers and judges are.
My Intention to Take Back the Website When the Probation Expires
Johnson then talked about me making no bones about the fact that when the probation orders expire I intend to take back control of the website. He argued that, based on that, the court can infer I am able to have some measure of control over the website TR p133l40-46.
But that is flawed logic. As I've mentioned previously, by way of analogy, if I have a probation condition which prohibits me from consuming alcohol and I say that the day the order expires I'm going to get shit faced, black out drunk, then that doesn't mean that in the meantime, while I am on probation, I am consuming alcohol. Johnson's reasoning is crap and he's a moron. He's grasping at straws. Soggy, wet, slippery straws.
The Website May Have Been Taken Down Within the 48 Hours
Next, Johnson argued that it's "an outlandish explanation" that the website may have briefly within the time required following my release TR p133l47-p134l2.
But that's not outlandish at all, because what I was charged with was not taking the website down within 48 hours of my release; I was not charged with putting it back online. There were two separate conditions on the probation order: one which required me to take the website down (Condition 6) and one which prohibited me from putting it back online (Condition 5).
It's the prosecution who screwed up because if they had any intelligence at all they would have charged me with violating both conditions. That way, if I say I took it down then I would have complied with Condition 6 but violated Condition 5 by putting it back online; and if I say I didn't take it down then I wouldn't have violated Condition 5 but I would have violated Condition 6. But once again, the BC prosecutors just aren't that smart.
Johnson claimed there was no evidence before the court on which it could conclude that the website had been taken down as a result of anything I had done TR p134l5-9.
First of all, there was also no evidence on which the court could conclude the website hadn't been taken down, and the burden is on the prosecution to prove it's claims, not on the defense to prove what the defense is claiming. So, if there is no evidence of something, one way or the other, then the court is supposed to assume in favor of the defense. That's basic criminal law! You know, "beyond a reasonable doubt" and all that.
Second, there was no requirement that the website had to come down as a result of anything I had done. It doesn't matter why or how the website ceased to be publicly accessible.
The Website Remained Online Beyond the 48 Hours
As yet another example of the mental deficiency of the Mr. Johnson, he also argued that the website was clearly in existence both during the 48 hours following my release and thereafter TR p134l9-11.
However, given the precise wording of Condition 6, if I was released from custody at 8:51am on 2021-08-12 (which I was), then the 48 hours would expire at 8:52am on 2021-08-14. So, if the website went offline at 8:51am on 2021-08-14 and remained offline until 8:53am, then I would be in compliance with Condition 6. And if, at 8:53am on 2021-08-14, I put the website back online then I would be in violation of Condition 5, not Condition 6. Therefore, since I was only charged with violating Condition 6, it was imperative for Johnson to prove that is not what occurred. Alternatively, of course, they could have simply charged me with violating both conditions. But have I mentioned how inept they are?
In response to that, Denhoff told Johnson she doesn't believe that's very relevant becuase I'm not claiming I did take the website down TR p134l12-14.
But Denhoff then went on to say, I said I didn't take those steps because I "didn't feel I was obligated to do it" TR p134l18-19. Which is complete bullshit! I never said anything of the sort. What I said was that I didn't take those steps because it's not my website, I have no physical ability or legal authority to take the website down TR p103l12-18; p109l38-46; p120l39-42; p123l39-40; p126l38-45. A person in Canada cannot be legally obligated by a Canadian court to destroy property which is located in a foreign country and which is owned by a foreign national who is also located in that foreign country, without the consent of that foreign national. The website was located on a server in the US, and was owned by a US citizen who was located in the US. The Canadian court had absolutely no authority to order me to remove (or destroy) that website. They did have the authority to order me to delete (or destroy) all copies of the source material in my possession or control, but they did not order me to do that. Once again, they just aren't that smart.
Johnson's response to Denhoff's false statement was "I don't disagree with that" TR p134l20. Which is lawyer-speak for "I disagree but I'm too much of an spineless ass kisser to say so."
And then, Johnson went on to admit that he's not in a position to say whether or not I did access the site, but that the clear inference from my own statements, and my admission that I intend to take back control of it after my probation ends, is that I am able to exercise some measure of control over it TR p134l23-33. But his reasoning is, once again, grossly flawed, because the statements he's referring to were from three years prior. Even if I did have control over the website at the time those statements were made, that does not mean I still had control of the website at the time of my release in August 2021. And my statements about taking back control of the website after my probation ends on 2022-08-11, also don't mean that I have any control over the website prior to that time.
And that concluded Johnson's closing arguments.
So now, let's look at my closing arguments.
My Closing
I started by responding to some of Johnson's arguments. I pointed out, yet again, that my statements about taking back control of the website after the probation ends is meaningless TR p135l12-23. I also pointed out that, contrary to what Johnson was claiming, my statements at this time about not knowing who is currently running the website is consistent with what I have stated previously TR p135l40-p136l5.
Condition 6 Only Required Me to Take the Website Down, Not to Keep It Down
I then argued that the wording of Condition 6 only required me to engage in particular conduct which would result in the website being no longer available. It did not require the website to remain no longer available for any duration of time TR p136l6-28.
Denhoff then interrupted, asking "Isn't that the very meaning of no longer?" She said, if something is no longer, then it existed in the past and does not exist now. She further used the analogy that if she no longer owns her car, she owned it in the past but doesn't own it now. She said, "It's a continuing state" TR p136l29-40. Yes, she really is that stupid. You really must stop doubting me when I say how stupid these judges and prosecutors are. You see, a probation order can only either: require the person to engage in specific conduct; or prohibit a person for engaging in specific conduct. So Condition 6 required me to engage in particular conduct which would cause the website, which was available at the time of my release, to cease to be available. And once it has ceased to be available, then the condition has been complied with. Condition 5 would then prohibit me from putting it back online after taking it down. If what Denhoff is proposing here, were the case then Condition 5 would be redundant and superfluous.
Denhoff's suggestion that the wording of Condition 6 is a "continuing state" is just silly because if that were the case it would have to be written as:
...you shall take all necessary steps to ensure that any website ... [is] are no longer available and remains no longer available...
But it wasn't. You know why? Because the prosecutors and judges are too stupid to think of something like that, and too arrogant to admit they wrote it poorly in the first place.
So I told Denhoff that if a person is ordered to engage in specific conduct to cause something to be no longer available then once that thing IS no longer available, they have fulfilled that requirement. I further pointed out that since Condition 5 prohibited me from publishing anything about Capuano, it would make sense that Condition 6 meant "take the website down", and Condition 5 meant "keep the website down" (or more technically, "don't put the website back online").
Denhoff Realizes Her Argument Is Moronic
At this point, apparently realizing how moronic she was being, Denhoff responded "Well, then it would have said, you must take it offline. Not that you must ensure that it [is] no longer is available." It seems she's trying to change the focus of the debate here, probably because she agrees that what I'm saying is perfectly sensible and what she's saying is perfectly idiotic.
Denhoff Says I Am Not Required to "Take Down" the Website
In a confusing twist, Denhoff said "You don't have to take it down ... you seem to think that the probation condition requires you to take it down and that once you've taken it down, you've satisfied your obligation. What it required you to do was to ensure that it was no longer available..." TR p137l32-38. What!?!? So is she saying I can leave it online, as long as it's not available to anyone? Then wouldn't leaving it online but with a password requirement comply with that? If the police/prosecutors don't have the password and don't know of anyone having the password then they can't say there is anyone who has access to it. This is an issue that will come up in the next case (244069-10-BC).
In subsequent cases and hearings, whenever the prosecution claims I am required to take the website down, I point out that Denhoff said I am not required to take the site down, I am only required to ensure it is not available to anyone.
Johnson's Claim There Is Much More I Could Have Done
I referred to Johnson's claim during his cross-examination of me that there was much more I could have done to cause the website taken down. I argued that I am certainly open to any suggestions the prosecution may have in that respect and that it would have been nice if they would have provided such guidance before arresting and charging me TR p138l14-25. I was being incredibly sarcastic on this point.
The Corruption and Bullshit Going On In My Cases
And then, in closing my closing, I argued that the prosecution does not really believe the website is harming Capuano, and that the real reason they want it shut down is because it contains a huge amount of evidence of the corruption and misconduct that has been going on in my cases. I pointed out that Johnson himself had admitted to that, on the record, at a prior hearing before Judge Rideout TR p138l31-44.
And that was it for the closing arguments.
With that, we adjourned for the noon recess. Denhoff said she should have her Reasons ready when we reconvened.
Publication Bans on Munoz's and Capuano's Names
After the noon recess we reconvened. Denhoff asked if there was anything else I wanted to say before we proceed. I told her I would like to request a publication ban on Munoz's name TR p139l35-41.
I explained that because of Capuano's history of violent, agressive and psychologically unstable behavior, if Munoz's name were published in the news media, along with my testimony, I am concerned that Capuano may try to cause problems for Munoz TR p139l44-p140l6. Johnson said he does not object to my request, but that he doesn't agree with the reasoning for it TR p140l8-10. All I can say to that is "Oh, fuck off, Dude!" Desiree has a clearly documented history of domestic violence against her ex-husband, Michael Capuano, and a clearly documented history of psychological instability including being committed to a psychiatric hospital and being diagnosed with bipolar and delusional disorders.
Johnson then also requested a publication ban on Capuano's name and the domain name "desicapuano.com", citing my history of publishing such material TR p140l10-15.
In response to Johnson's request for a publication ban on Capuano's name, I pointed out that there was a publication ban on Capuano's identity prior to the criminal harassment trial, and Capuano explicitly requested the ban be removed so she could do media interviews TR 2017-06-12 p1l30-p2l19. Johnson claimed to have no knowledge of that, and Denhoff said she doesn't have any information that that continues to be Desiree's position. I told Denhoff it's in the transcripts from the trial TR p140l29-35.
I believe the real reason the prosecution wanted the publication ban was to discourage the Canadian media from providing any coverage of the trial because I, once again, made them look like fools.
Denhoff ordered both publication bans.
The Verdict
Without any further pageantry, Denhoff launched into her Reasons for Judgment (RFJ) on the verdict. Spoiler alert: I was found guilty!
Denhoff's Reasons for Judgment
Much of this was already covered in the article Judge Kathryn Denhoff’s Psychotic Reasons for Judgment but because I'm such a maverick and have no respect for "the rules", I'll repeat it here so you don't have to put the effort into clicking the link.
This should make it clear to you how full of shit the Canadian legal system is. When a judge issues a Reasons for Judgment, whatever insane, outrageous "findings" she makes therein somehow become "reality" - even though the transcripts and simple physics prove those "findings" are complete nonsense.
Denhoff Misrepresents Meiklejohn's Testimony, Ignores Evidence
In her RFJ, Denhoff stated:
The crown called a civilian analyst with the Vancouver Police Department who testified that she checked the website www.desicapuano.com on August 12, 13, 14 and 15, 2021 and it was accessible and active on each of those days.RFJ ¶4
But that same analyst, Catherine Meiklejohn, also testified on cross, that she only checked the website once on each of those days, and that she has no knowledge of whether the website remained online, continuously, between each of those times she checked it, or if it had been taken down at any point other than when she checked it TR 2022-02-23 p5l19–p6l10. Denhoff made no mention of these critical facts and admissions in her RFJ.
Denhoff went on to say:
On August 15, 2021, the analyst accessed the website at 6:10pm and it was still active and accessible, which was more than 48 hours after Mr. Fox's release from custody. (emphasis added)RFJ ¶4
Again, Denhoff ignored the fact that Miklejohn admitted she had no knowledge of whether the website had been taken down at any point following my release from custody. She only knew it was accessible at that one moment each day when she checked it.
This is significant because Meiklejohn and Denhoff cannot claim the website was "still" active – "still" means it was active continuously; that it had not been taken offline at any point following my release from custody. And that is significant for the reasons explained above.
Denhoff Lies About My Statements Regarding Transferring Ownership of the Website
Denhoff then falsely stated, at paragraph 6 of her RFJ:
Mr. Fox further stated that he transferred ownership and control of the website so he would not be obligated to take it down in accordance with the probation order. (emphasis added)RFJ ¶6
That is incorrect! I said "…so I couldn't be compelled to take it down" TR 2022-02-23 p19l17-18; TR 2020-08-17 p10l32-p11l1. There is a significant difference between "would not be obligated" and "could not be compelled".
What's the difference, you ask? The end result of the two is the same. Either way, I deliberately created a situation whereby the Canadian justice system would not be able to legally make me do what they ordered me to do. The difference is the way Denhoff phrased it sounds nefarious; the way I phrased it sounds like I was just exercising my rights within the bounds imposed by the Canadian Criminal Code.
But more significantly, the problem is that Denhoff claimed I said "...would not be obligated...". She misrepresented my statement. And because that's what got published in her RFJ, it is now a fact that I said exactly what she said I said ... even though I didn't.
Since the only part of the trial which gets officially published is the judge's Reasons for Judgment, not the transcripts, as far as the whole world, and every other prosecutor and judge, is concerned what Denhoff said I said is what I said. In the Canadian legal system, reality is not what actually happened, it's whatever the judge said happened.
Denhoff Lies About Me Refusing To Say If I Had Access to the Website
At paragraph 7 of her RFJ, Denhoff falsely claimed:
When Mr. Fox was asked if he had access to the website, he stated that he would not answer the question.RFJ ¶7
That is completely false! I unequivocally and directly stated I do not have access to the website TR 2022-02-23 p20l1-9; TR 2021-08-17 p10l21-23.
This is an excellent example of Denhoff blatantly lying in her Reasons for Judgment - the only record of the trial which gets officially published. In the Canadian criminal justice system, transcripts and disclosure material are never made public (except, of course, in my cases because I refuse to lie down and do nothing while these corrput, lying bastards destroy my life by publishing lies about me), so the judges and prosecutors lie indiscriminately, making up the so-called "facts" of the case as they see fit. In this instance, Denhoff is actually claiming the exact opposite of what actually happened!
Denhoff Misrepresents My Failure to Provide the Email, Ignores Evidence
At paragraph 7 Denhoff also grossly misrepresented my statements and the evidence:
Although Mr. Fox said he would provide a copy of that email at a later date, he did not ever do so, even though his laptop was made available in the courtroom during the trial and he could have accessed the email.RFJ ¶7
But actually, I had told Tanino I would provide her a copy of the email once I'm released from custody, because I don't have access to email at NFPC TR 2022-02-23 p28l46–p29l4). That is why I still had not sent her a copy of the email – I was still in custody.
Denhoff's statement, "...evn though his laptop was made available in the courtroom..." is disturbing because I was very clear in court about why I chose not to utilize the laptop in the trial – that would open the laptop and possibly my entire email account, to inspection by the prosecution and/or the police. It may have resulted in Denhoff ordering me to provide the encryption passwords to the police TR 2022-02-25 p128l43–p129l8. This was said while I was still testifying, so it's evidence, not just arguments. Moreover, accessing the email would have nothing to do with that specific laptop because, as Johnson admitted, gmail emails are stored on the server, not on the laptop TR 2022-02-23 p77l20-26. Any computer with internet access could have been used. The laptop seized by the police was completely irrelevant regarding that email.
And finally, it was Johnson's and Denhoff's position that I am the one that had control of the website so even if I provided them access to that email, they would have said it's meaningless because I was just sending an email to myself.
As an aside, I did actually forward a copy of that email to Tanino after I was released from custody, just as I had said I would email to Det. Tanino.
Denhoff Lies About My Decision to Not Access My Laptop During the Trial
And continuing with her theme of compulsive lying in paragraph 7, Denhoff further sates:
Mr. Fox claims that he did not access the email in the courtroom because he did not want the police to have access to all of his computer content in the courtroom.RFJ ¶7
In fact, I did not say I didn't want to access the email for that reason. I said I didn't want to use the laptop as evidence in the trial for that reason TR 2022-02-25 p128l43–p129l8.
The email could have been accessed from any computer which could connect to the internet because gmail stores the messages on the server, as was discussed in the trial and admitted to by Johnson TR 2022-02-23 p77l20-26. So either Denhoff wasn't paying attention to what was going on in the trial, or she's a complete moron ... or perhaps she's just a sociopathic, compulsive liar.
Denhoff Falsely Claims the Police Had Already Searched My Laptop
And yet again in paragraph 7, Denhoff further lied:
However, by that time, the police had already searched the computer.RFJ ¶7
Denhoff's implication is that since the police already searched the laptop, my excuse that I didn't want to have to provide the police access to all of the data on the laptop, was not credible.
However, once again, either Denhoff wasn't listening to anything that was going on during the trial, or she was making a concerted effort to ignore any evidence that supported my claims.
The police only searched the small, unused Windows partition. They didn't even know I used Linux on the laptop and that there was another, encrypted Linux partition TR 2022-02-23 p74l47–p76l10; p92l23-32.
Denhoff Falsely Claims I Could Have Accessed the Email On the Laptop Myself Without Giving the Police Access to the Laptop
Denhoff also falsely claimed:
Mr. Fox could have asked for the court's permission to access the email on his laptop himself in order to show it to the court without the police seeing the other content.RFJ ¶7
However that is just silly nonsense! The moment I would have used the laptop to access the email, Johnson would have said he has no knowledge of the authenticity of the contents of the laptop and that the Crown/police must be permitted to inspect it for themselves so they can rebut it. That would have resulted in Denhoff ordering me to provide the encryption passwords. If I refused, Denhoff would say I was the one that sought to enter the laptop as evidence and now that I have it's too late back out.
I believe this was just a ploy to trick me into making the laptop evidence in the trial so I would have to disclose the passwords.
And again, since the email was stored on Google's server, there was absolutely no reason I would have to use that specific laptop to access it. Moreover, since it was Johnson's and Denhoff's belief that I owned and/or controlled the website, the email wouldn't have mattered because Johnson would have claimed it was, essentially, an email from me to myself, that I was editor@desicapuano.com.
Denhoff Misrepresents My Testimony Which Contradicted My Prior Statements to the Police
At paragraph 11 of her RFJ, Denhoff said:
During his testimony, Mr. Fox contradicted his earlier statements about transferring ownership and control of the website www.desicapuano.com.RFJ ¶11
But as I stated in my testimony, regardless of any "admissions" I may have made to the police, the indisputable fact that I was in custody at FRCC when the website went online irrefutably proves that I could not, possibly, have had any involvement in putting it online – I had no access to the internet or to the content TR 2022-02-25 p115l27-37. And, when Johnson asked me if it is now my "evidence" that I did not create the website, I stated "right now, under oath, subject to being charged with perjury and having sworn that … everything that I say is true … I say I had no direct involvement in putting that website online…", and I point out that that's proven by the fact that I was in custody at FRCC at the time TR 2022-02-25 p119l30–p120l1.
Since the actual, physical evidence and reality is consistent with my testimony and contrary to my statements to the police, then that can only mean I was telling the truth on the stand and lying to the police.
This is another example of the BC judges refusing to consider reality and the fundamental laws of physics when making their so-called "findings".
Denhoff Falsely Claims I Must Have Been Accessing the Website While I Was In Custody
At paragraph 14 of her RFJ, Denhoff claimed:
He was also able to say that there had been updates to the website in the last year and a half, which means that he must have been accessing it during that time.RFJ ¶14
However, Denhoff's characterization of my statements is completely incorrect. I was able to see that there had been updates to the site because those updates were publicly accessible. Everyone in the world had such access. It did not mean I (or they) had administrative access to the site.
The judge misconstrued the significance of my statement about there being updates over the past year and a half. My point was that the updates were made while I was in custody and didn't have access to the internet, so I could not have been involved with those updates. In other words, that proves that someone else is making the updates TR 2022-02-25 p102l46–p103l3. I even clearly stated "…while I've been in custody so, clearly, somebody is doing something with the site."
Denhoff Misconstrues My Statement About My Prior Explanations Being Simpler
In a ridiculously obtuse display of ineptitude, Denhoff actually stated the following in her Reasons:
Mr. Fox claimed he told Cst. Dent in 2020 and Cst. Tanino in 2021 that he transferred ownership and control of the website because it was 'simpler' than telling them that Ms. Munoz launched the new website of her own volition. That explanation is not compelling.
[16] It is in no way simpler to say that he transferred ownership and control. It is, however, more incriminating, which Mr. Fox obviously realized before testifying in court.
RFJ ¶15-16
Denhoff is ignoring the much more significant reasons I gave for why I provided that explanation to the police, namely "…I was very actively seeking to convince the BCPS to prosecute me for criminal harassment based on the new website. And in fact, even to this day, I would still do everything that I can to try to convince the BCPS to prosecute me for criminal harassment based on this new website" TR 2022-02-25 p111l9-15. And, "…that if I had said in the letter [to Fontana] that my friend had arranged for the website to be put back online with no involvement or … not in response to a request from me, that would mean I would have nothing to do with the website and, therefore, cannot be prosecuted for criminal harassment based on it" TR 2022-02-25 p113l8-15.
If the police already have a belief about something then making a statement or "admission" which is consistent with that belief will, generally, be accepted by them without further inquiry or investigation. Whereas, if I had made a statement contrary to their belief they would have continued to interrogate me on it until I said something to discredit the statement, or they would simply not believe it and refuse to pursue or accept any evidence which would support the statement – which is exactly what happened in this case, with the email I sent to editor@desicapuano.com (the police didn't believe I sent the email, and if I did it would have been exculpatory, so the police made no real attempt to verify it). So, in that respect, it IS easier to say what the police, prosecutors, and judges already believe, than to say the truth when the truth is contrary to what they believe. Consider these Reasons for Judgment – how frequently Denhoff completely ignored or claimed to not believe any of my statements which were not consistent with the guilty verdict she wanted to impose – yet she accepts and completely believes, without a second thought, any of my statements which ARE consistent with a guilty verdict, even though those statements could not, possibly, be true.
Moreover, it is no more or less incriminating to say I put the website online then transferred control to a another party; or to say I never had control in the first place; because the events in question occurred before any of the probation orders came into effect. Whether one thing occurred or the other, I wasn't on probation at the time and so whether I put the website up then transferred it, or whether someone else put it up and I never actually had control of it, either way I couldn't have possibly breached probation because I wasn't on probation.
Denhoff Makes Unfounded Assumptions About the Cost and Another Party's Willingness to Keep the Website Online
Denhoff continued with her misguided and idiotic assumptions:
It is simply absurd to suggest that Ms. Munoz, who is not in regular contact with Mr. Fox, would pay for a website that is entirely related to Mr. Fox's harassment of Ms. Capuano and Mr. Fox's criticisms of his legal processes.RFJ ¶18
This is a patently incorrect inference on the part of Denhoff. There is nothing in the record to support it.
First: The cost of keeping the website online is about $17 per month. That is so negligible it barely warrants consideration. That's less than a cup of coffee every other day. This fact did not come up in the trial. Neither Denhoff nor Johnson inquired.
Second: Ms. Munoz filled the maternal role in Gabriel's life for much of his childhood. Ms. Munoz was devastated when Capuano showed up out of the blue, took Gabriel away to Arizona, took very deliberate steps to have me deported to Canada, then immediately and completely cut Ms. Munoz out of Gabriel's life. None of this was discussed at the trial either. If Denhoff had doubts about the plausibility of my testimony about Ms. Munoz's willingness to put any resources into keeping the website online she should have given me the opportunity to explain, rather than drawing false inferences.
Third: the time and effort required to maintain a website like desicapuano.com is, literally, almost completely nil. The website can go months without ANY intervention at all.
Fourth: it was never stated or implied at the trial, that Ms. Munoz had any ongoing involvement in the website beyond putting it back online in 2018. This is an inference that Denhoff is making but it's based on absolutely nothing at all.
Fifth: the website is not based on my harassment of Capuano. It's based on exposing all the bad conduct Capuano has engaged in over her life – such as abducting Gabriel and stealing him away from all the people he considered family, like Ms. Munoz. If the website constituted harassment then the BCPS, or police, or Capuano herself would be able to obtain a US injunction to compel the hosting provider to take it down. Not to mention, if it was harassment then the BCPS would prosecute me for that again.
Sixth: regarding Denhoff's reference to "Mr. Fox's criticisms of his legal processes", there is, in fact, copious physical evidence on this website which supports and even clearly proves all of my claims of corruption and misconduct that has been occurring in my cases. And not one person in the BCPS or the Ministry of Attorney General or the Ministry of Justice has denied any of my claims. This is relevant because it is due to that corruption and misconduct that I had been repeatedly prosecuted and imprisoned for the past seven years, and thereby cut off from my son and repeatedly and consistently defamed in the Canadian news media.
Seventh: this statement by Denhoff contradicts her later statement in paragraph 25, that I could have contacted Munoz and asked her to take down the site, or provided her information to the police. If Denhoff believes it is simply absurd to suggest Munoz was keeping the site online, then why does she later claim one of the things I could have done to cause the website to be no longer available is to contact Munoz? Either Denhoff is full of shit here or she's full of shit in paragraph 25.
Denhoff Contradicts Her Own Statements and Reasoning
As mentioned above, first Denhoff claimed it was "simply absurd" to suggest Munoz had been keeping the website online while I was in custody, but then, at paragraph 25, she completely contradicts that by claiming:
Therefore, he could have contacted Ms. Munoz to regain control of it upon his release from custody and ensured it was no longer available.RFJ ¶25
How is it possible that, on the one hand, Denhoff does not belive Munoz was keeping the website online for me; while concurrently believing, on the other hand, that I could have contacted Munoz to take back control of the website? The latter would mean Munoz had control of the website. Which would mean she was the one keeping it online.
The two beliefs stated by Denhoff, in her Reasons for Judgment, are mutually exclusive. At least one of them had to have been false!
And in the Canadian justice system, every statement expressed by a judge in a RFJ becomes an indisputable "fact", it becomes the "reality" upon which every subsequent decision is based. But how is it possible that reality can be both black and white simultaneously? IT CAN'T!!! The BC lawyers and judges are deranged, delusional, psychopathic, retards who are incapable of realizing that what they accept as truth and reality is, in fact, necessarily impossible to exist. They are beyond idiotic. Even a five year old child knows that something cannot be both wet and dry at the same time.
And let's consider, for a moment: What would Munoz have to do with anything? She just made the arrangements for it to be put back online three years ago. She had no further involvement beyond that. There was no indication provided in the trial that Munoz's involvement went beyond arranging to put the site online in 2018.
Denhoff Misconstrues My Reasons for Wanting to Be Prosecuted for Criminal Harassment Again; Tries to Downplay the Corruption and Misconduct Occurring in My Cases
Believe it or not, there was actually more supposed misunderstanding on Denhoff's part:
His apparent purpose was to force Ms. Capuano to testify and for him to be able to cross-examine her on what he claimed were her lies in a previous trial before Justice Holmes.RFJ ¶18
Denhoff is cherry picking only the parts from my testimony and explanations which will appear to support the prosecution's case while ignoring everything else. Johnson was trying to get me to admit that the purpose of my letter to Det. Fontana was to try to instigate another criminal harassment prosecution so I could cross-examine Capuano. However, I had stated "…the important point though is that if I were to be prosecuted for criminal harassment again, based on the current or new website, that would necessarily bring up or draw attention to all of the corruption and misconduct and the perjury that occurred at the first trial and that would be the objective of that" TR 2022-02-25 p112l19-25.
In Johnson's direct-examination of Det. Tanino, he asked her if I made any statements about my goal of bringing the justice system into disrepute. Tanino read from the transcript of the interview where I explained my plan and intention of bringing the justice system into disrepute and exposing the corruption in the justice system by either forcing a new criminal harassment prosecution or by the Crown's persistent refusal to pursue a new criminal harassment prosecution TR 2022-02-23 p16l35–p18l10.
Given the preceding two sections, it is unfathomable that Denhoff would think my goal of being prosecuted for criminal harassment would be, primarily, to cross-examine Capuano. That would only be a means to the end of exposing the corruption and bringing the system into disrepute.
Denhoff Relies on My "Clear Admissions" Even Though She Knew They Were Not True
In that letter, Mr. Fox was making a clear admission that he launched, owned and controlled the website www.desicapuano.com.RFJ ¶20
However, it is indisputable that I was in custody at FRCC at the time, which means I did not have access to the internet or to the material for the website. It would, literally, have been impossible for me to launch or have any access to the website, and more importantly, to the hosting account. My admissions to the police were indisputably and irrefutable false. I pointed that out during my testimony, so Denhoff knew it was so.
During sentencing submissions, Denhoff claimed she had believed I, and inmates in general, have access to the internet from within BC Corrections facilities TR 2022-02-25 p143l44–p46l43. This is a major, major issue because it means during my testimony and while preparing her Reasons for Judgment Denhoff believed I had access to the internet, including the ability to publish and maintain the website and to forward the editor@desicapuano.com email at any point. The moment Denhoff realized I, in fact, did not have access to the internet she should have either vacated the verdict and reconsidered it, or declared a mistrial.
I don't really believe Denhoff thought I had access to the internet, though, because that was referred to repeatedly throughout the trial, including during my cross-examination of Det. Tanino TR 2022-02-23 p28l47-p29l35. I believe Denhoff just used that as an excuse to justify her otherwise outrageous verdict. Either that, or she wasn't even paying attention during critical parts of the trial.
Denhoff then went on to say:
First he argued that there is no evidence that he owns or has control over the website. As noted Mr. Fox admitted to Cst. Fontana, in a letter dated June 6, 2019 that he published the new website and engaged in criminal harassment. (emphasis added)RFJ ¶21
A rational and even minimally intelligent, sane person would realize that what I had admitted to was physically impossible and would not be so moronic as to base her decision on it. Really! This whole thing is like me confessing to murdering the easter bunny and raping the tooth fairy, being prosecuted for it, and the judge relying on that admission as proof that I must be guilty of it. The fact that the easter bunny and the tooth fairy are not real is irrelevant to Denhoff and Johnson. I admitted to the rape and murder and therefore there is no question I am guilty. Right?
And, I most certainly DID NOT admit to engaging in criminal harassment. What I said was that if such conduct constituted criminal harassment at the time of the criminal harassment trial then it must constitute criminal harassment now letter to Fontana. The implication being that the Crown's adamant refusal to prosecute me for criminal harassment based on the current website proves that the website does NOT constitute criminal harassment.
Denhoff Misrepresents My Intention to Take Back the Website When My Probation Ends
Consistent with her idiotic misunderstandings of the facts and her inability to comprehend reality, Denhoff mistakenly claimed:
…Mr. Fox told both Cst. Tanino and Cst. Dent that he would take the website back when his probation ended, indicating he has retained control over the website.RFJ ¶21
However, it indicates nothing of the sort. Once I take it back, then I will have control over it, but until that time I do not.
If you relinquish ownership and control of something to another party with the understanding that at some point in the future, when certain requirements are met, they may give it back to you, then until that time comes it is no longer yours. You have no claim to it, not control over it, no right or authority to destroy it.
For example, if I give somebody my jacket with the understanding that if the day ever comes they no longer want it they'll offer it to me before they offer it to someone else, well then it's no longer my jacket. It now belongs to that other person. And he may, or may not give it back to me at some point in the future. But I can't, legally, take it back from him without his consent – it's no longer my property. Just because I may believe he will give it back to me at some future time does not make it mine, nor does it give me any control over the jacket. And, in the meantime, that third-party is entitled to do as he pleases with the jacket. Same fucking idea, jackasses!
Am I alone in believing there is no way Denhoff, a person who has risen in the legal system to the level of a judge, can possible be this stupid?
Denhoff Falsely Claims It Was Proven I Had Control of the Website
As if all that delusional nonsense Denhoff had already spewed in her Reasons for Judgment wasn't enough, she then claimed it had already been established that I did have control over the website:
Mr. Fox also argues that the Crown has not proven that the website was not taken down by him within 48 hours of his release and then reposted by someone else. That argument fails because, as already discussed, Mr. Fox retained control over the website and could have taken back the management of it at any time. (emphasis added)RFJ ¶22
Denhoff repeatedly claims I retained control of the website but she has not cited any evidence to support that. The letter to Fontana was written in 2019, so even if my admission were true at that time it doesn't mean I still had control of the site two years later.
The miserable witch later went on to say:
Even if I were to believe that Mr. Fox only told the police he launched the website so he would be charged with harassment, which I do not accept, Mr. Fox clearly maintained control over the website. (emhpasis added)RFJ ¶25
Again, Denhoff is insisting I "clearly maintained control over the website" but again, there was absolutely no evidence to support that! Dent clearly testified he had no knowledge of whether I had any ownership, control over, or involvement in the website.
Then, at the end of her RFJ, Denhoff again asserts:
Mr. Fox had control of the website www.desicapuano.com within 48 hours of his release and continuing past that time, as he repeatedly boasted to the police.RFJ ¶29
And yet again, that is patently false! And I certainly never "boasted" or even stated I had ANY involvement with the website subsequent to my probation orders coming into effect on 2018-12-30.
Denhoff Falsely Claims I Refused to Produce the Email When the Police Asked for It
As was very clearly established during the trial, through both my own and Tanino's testimony, the police never gave me the option of providing them access to the email I had sent to editor@desicapuano.com. They only gave me the option of providing them the passwords to my phone and laptop, which would have given them full access to all of my data.
But even though that was clearly established, it didn't stop Denhoff from falsely claiming the following in her published Reasons for Judgment:
To begin with, I do not believe that Mr. Fox sent an email to the editor of the website. Mr. Fox refused to produce the email to the police when asked and also failed to offer to produce the email when his laptop was available in court during the trial.RFJ ¶23
As for my reasons for not relying on the laptop in the trial, they are stated above and Denhoff was well aware of them. Nevertheless, she makes no mention of those reasons - probably because they were completely reasonable and sensible.
As for Denhoff stating she does not believe I sent the email, that's fine. She's entitled to have whatever misguided, unfounded beliefs she chooses. But if she's going to use that as a basis to convict a person and send them to prison, by God she better have some fucking legitimate basis for that belief!
Denhoff Falsely Claims I Could Have Provided Munoz's Contact Information to the Police
If he was not successful in persuading Ms. Munoz to take down the website, he could have provided her name and contact information to the police so the police could have made a request to Ms. Munoz. He did not do so, either because he actually owns the website, not Ms. Munoz, or because he did not want the website to be taken down.RFJ ¶26
Again, Denhoff is being idiotic. I never said Munoz has anything at all to do with the website. There would be no reason for me to contact her about it. Likewise, there would be no reason for me to give her information to the police.
Moreover, she's a US citizen who is not in Canada and has no connection to Canada – the Canadian police and courts mean absolutely nothing to her and they have no authority or jurisdiction over her.
As for me not wanting the website to be taken down, that is absolutely correct, but that doesn't mean I failed to comply with the condition.
Denhoff Falsely Claims I Argued I Was Not Obligated to Do Anything With the Website
And then, the miserable, lying, skank actually had the audacity to claim:
…Mr. Fox argues that he was not obligated to do anything with the website after 48 hours after his release from custody…RFJ ¶27
That is absolutely false! I argued nothing if the sort. Go ahead, search the transcripts. Show me where I said anything remotely similar to this.
How is it possible that the people of Canada can be so delusionally self-righteous that they can criticize other countries for having unfair and corrupt justice systems, while so steadfastly refusing to realize their own country is doing the exact same bullshit?
Denhoff Makes Up Her Own Definitions of Common Phrases
The whole point of having a society speak a common language is so that people can communicate and exchange useful information. When people start making up their own definitions of words those words become meaningless. We all accept what the word "table" means, but if someone decides "table" to him means what everybody else refers to as "chair", then trying to communicate with such a person becomes pretty, fucking, chaotic when he asks you to take your bag off the "table" even though your bag is on the chair.
So, in her RFJ Denhoff decided to apply her own meaning to the phrase "no longer available":
The term 'no longer available' has the ordinary meaning of being available in the past but not continuing to be available.RFJ ¶28
But Denhoff is wrong! "No longer available" does mean that the thing WAS previously available then transitioned to NOT being available – but it DOES NOT mean that the thing will REMAIN unavailable for any duration of time.
The probation condition explicitly DOES NOT state that once the website was made no longer available it must remain as such for the duration of the order. It only stated that I must engage in particular, though unarticulated, conduct to cause it to change from being available to being not available. The probation order did not state for how long, or how often, I must engage in the act of "taking all necessary steps…". Therefore, executing it one time would fulfill the requirement.
I'd also like to point out, Denhoff's definition of "no longer available" completely contradicts Judge Nancy Phillips' and Chris Johnson's definition from 244069-6-B. Tell me how a person can be expected to comply with a court order when the judges and prosecutors keep changing the definitions of the phrases used in those orders.
And that about sums up Denhoff's Reasons for Judgment. Just an endless stream of lies and dizzying bullshit which the entire Canadian justice system will blindly accept as being true and accurate.
This Is Your "Justice" System, People of Canada!
So the next time you find yourself reading Canadian case law and thinking "What an idiot this defendant is. There's so much evidence against him. He's so obviously guilty."; remember, chances are the judge is just completely making it all up. Chances are she's relying on evidence that didn't even exist, claiming admissions were made which weren't, ignoring any evidence which might be exculpatory, and refusing to acknowledge the police and prosecutors are lying - even when they admit they're lying.
And this, people of Canada, is your "justice system"! So shut the fuck up with your smug, self-righteous complaints about human rights violations and injustices in Russia, China, and Saudi Arabia, because you're doing the exact same shit you're condescendingly accusing them of.
And because Canada is supposedly a democracy, YOU, the people of Canada, are electing that government which is actively allowing this to happen. So ultimately YOU, the people of Canada, are responsible for the corruption and injustices going on every day in your so-called "justice system".
The Sentencing
Having been found guilty, we immediately moved on to sentencing.
Johnson's Sentencing Arguments
Johnson got right to the point. He asked for a sentence of 12 months in prison, plus another two year probation order TR 2022-02-25 p141l36-40.
Denhoff pointed out that my prior sentence, for exactly the same offense, was for 16.5 months TR 2022-02-25 p142l3-4. Apparently, she found it unusual that on a subsequent conviction the prosecution would be seeking a shorter sentence. As did I, for that matter. But I've learned never to try to make sense of what idiots do. And by idiots, I'm referring to the BC Prosecution Service.
Johnson, forever the ass-kisser, responded "Sentencing is always in Your Honour's purview ... I can't disagree with what you just said" TR 2022-02-25 p142l5-11. He then went on the calculate how much longer I would have to serve, given credit for the pretrial time I had already been in custody.
Johnson then continued on with his arguments in support of the two years of additional probation. Denhoff asked him why he's only seeking a two year order, not a three year. Johnson admitted he had mistakenly thought two years was the statutory maximum for a probation order TR 2022-02-25 p142l22-29. Once again, you would think a high profile criminal defense lawyer would know such basic things as the statutory maximum for a probation order CCC s. 732.2(2)(b). Right? I can't help but to wonder on what basis Chris Johnson is considered such a kick-ass lawyer.
Johnson then stated the probation conditions he was seeking. And this part is critical because in a little bit, you're going to see what a spineless, blathering, jackoff he is, and how full of shit Denhoff is [Editor's Note: as if you really need any more evidence of that]. Johnson clearly, unequivocally, and most absolutely, explicitly requested a condition that I be required to report "within 72 hours of my release and thereafter as and when directed" TR 2022-02-25 p142l45-p143l2.
Denhoff Doesn't Know When A Probation Order Begins
And now, this next part is where shit really gets fucking crazy.
So, Johnson requested a condition requiring me to take down the website within 72 hours of my release from custody on the current sentence TR 2022-02-25 p143l24-32. And Denhoff responds, asking if there's a reason I can't comply with that condition while I'm in custody? Why I should be permitted to wait until the end of my prison sentence and I'm released TR 2022-02-25 p143l44-45? Then there was some back and forth about whether I have access to the internet from within custody, and more spineless ass-kissing by Johnson. And at one point, Denhoff actually said, literally, I'm not exaggerating: "...why am I asking for him to remove the website within 72 hours of his release? Why wouldn't I ask him to do it within 48 hours of now..." TR 2022-02-25 p144l13-16.
At that point, I ran out of patience and educated these incompetent buffoons on the law. I interrupt their obnoxious game of polite groin-tickle and tell the judge that a probation order doesn't come into effect until the accused completes his prison sentence and is released from custody TR 2022-02-25 p144l25-27.
Once again, I have to ask: How the fuck can a Provincial Court judge, who presides over criminal proceedings and issues probation orders on a daily basis NOT know this fucking shit? It's a statute in the fucking Canadian Criminal Code, for fuck sakes s. 732.2(1)(b). Have these fucking yahoo judges even read the God damned criminal code? Or is the crazy bitch hoping I won't know s. 732.2(1)(b) and she's trying to impose an illegal sentence on me?
Denhoff Actually Thinks Pretrial Inmates Have Access to the Internet In Jail
During the discussion about why she shouldn't just illegally impose the probation the probation conditions on my immediately, Denhoff further demonstrated her ignorance of legal matters by admitting she believed BC Corrections inmates actually had access to the internet from within the jails TR 2022-02-25 p143l44-p144l43.
This is extremely critical to Denhoff's guilty verdict because if I didn't have access to the internet while I was in custody then:
- I didn't have access to my email, which means I couldn't have forwarded a copy of the email I sent to editor@desicapuano.com to Detective Tanino.
- I couldn't have had access to the website, which means even if I had control over it, I didn't have the ability to take it offline while I was in custody.
Nevertheless, during this exchange between Denhoff and Johnson, Johnson directly tells her I don't have access to the internet from within jail TR 2022-02-25 p143l47-p144l4. And yet, Denhoff goes on about Justice Holmes' probation order, which had a condition prohibiting me from accessing the internet, having already expired TR 2022-02-25 p144l6-11, as if that makes any difference at all. I mean, if I don't have the physical capability to access the internet then what fucking difference could the Holmes probation condition possibly make?
So then, after Johnson confirms that no BC Corrections inmates have access to the internet, then Denhoff asks, why she would order me to take down the website following my release from custody in a few months; why not order me to take it down right now, since I have access to the internet TR 2022-02-25 p144l13-17? Seriousl, I kid you not. And so, Johnson again tells her that he doesn't believe I do have access to the internet.
Well, at this point, I just can't take any more of this stupidity. I cut them off and tell the judge that no inmates, none at all, not me, not a single inmate in any BC Corrections facilities has any access to the internet. I tell her it's strictly prohibited TR 2022-02-25 p144l21-23. And finally, this starts to penetrate her apparently ridiculously thick skull. Yet still, she finds the need to clarify: "And so, you're not able to receive or send emails at all?" And: "No inmates -- yes?" TR 2022-02-25 p144l32-35
Then, having just acknowledged that her guilty verdict was based on her false assumptions about me having had the ability to do certain things to prove my innocence, Denhoff tells Johnson to continue with his arguments. In any reasonable system of justice, such a realization by the judge would result in that judge declaring they must reevaluate their decision, in light of this new information. But not in Canada.
Johnson then said that's all for his sentencing submissions.
He then acknowledged, though, that the reason he's seeking a shorter sentence is so that the probation condition requiring me to take the website down will come into effect sooner TR 2022-02-25 p145l4-14. In other words, he's admitting the BC Prosecution Service is not so concerned with punishing me, with seeing justice done, as they are with getting that God damned website taken down.
But why Johnson, or Denhoff, or any of the other fools at the BCPS thought that this conviction and sentence would suddenly make me give up and take down the website, I have no idea. They seem to be incapable of facing the reality that I simply don't give a shit about them and their fascist efforts to try to make me stop doing something I have a fundamental right to do. They seem incapable of grasping the reality that being "free" in Canada is not that different from being in prison. Either way, it's an existence of mediocrity and misery, a life of nothingness that goes nowhere and could not possibly ever amount to anything more than mere existence.
My Sentencing Arguments
And this brings us to my sentencing arguments.
First, I point out, as I did just a moment ago, above, that being in prison in Canada is really not much worse than being "free" in Canada TR 2022-02-25 p145l31-35. But being that most Canadians have been brainwashed into believing they have it so good, and being that most Canadians are smug, self-righteous, and superior, you can't expect that they would ever realize how miserable they actually have it.
I argued against the imposition of another probation order requiring me to remain in BC because, as I've pointed out many times in the past, I have no citizenship or immigration status in Canada; I'm not authorized to work; I'm not elegible to receive any government "benefit"; and so, requiring me to remain in BC forces me into homelessness and destitution for the duration of the probation order TR 2022-02-25 p145l21-45.
Johnson and Denhoff Deny Johnson Requested Ongoing Reporting
Once again, here's where shit really gets fucked up.
You remember, literally just moments ago, Johnson requested there be a condition requiring me to report to the probation department following my release, and then "as directed"?
Well, now this crazy motherfucking judge claims Johnson didn't request ongoing reporting! That he was only requesting I report one time, following my release from custody TR 2022-02-25 p145l46-p146l9. And to be certain, she then asked Johnson "That wasn't your intention that there be an ongoing requirement?" And that little lying cunt weasel, Johnson responds "No, that's correc" TR 2022-02-25 p146l10-13.
All I can say is: Fuck right off! It's been less than, like, four minutes, since the words:
And then I'd ask Your Honour to consider a reporting condition that ... he report to a probation officer at 275 East Cordova within 72 hours of your release and thereafter as and when directed.TR 2022-02-25 p142l45-p143l2
dribbled out of Johnson's mouth. And yet, both he and the judge have the audacity to claim he never asked for an ongoing reporting requirement.
Once again, I find myself wondering, how the fuck any person can reasonably be expected to defend against a criminal charge in a system where the prosecutors and judges are not bound by things like reality and facts? Where a judge can make a ruling based not at all on what evidence and arguments were actually presented, but on whatever imaginary nonsense she decides to say was presented?
Denhoff Clearly Orders I Will Only Be Required to Report One Time Following My Release
Denhoff then went on to clarify that I would only be required to report to the probation office within 72 hours of my release and only for the purpose of informing them of exactly what steps I have taken to ensure the website is "no longer available" TR 2022-02-25 p146l18-25.
And to make sure I was completely clear on what I would be required to do, I confirmed that I would only be required to report within the few days following my release, and then never again after that TR 2022-02-25 p146l26-29.
And Denhoff responded that, yes, I would only be required to report one time, within 72 hours of my release, and as long as I was able to tell the probation officer at that time what steps I have taken to ensure the website is no longer available, then I would not have to report again TR 2022-02-25 p146l30-43.
So, maybe you're thinking: "So what? Why is any of this so significant that I'm going on about it?" Because, in the next case (244069-10-BC), the probation officer and the BCPS are going to obtain a warrant for my arrest and prosecute me for failing to report a second time, even though Denhoff very, very clearly stated I would not be required to report a second time! And on that charge, I will sit in jail for a year waiting to be acquitted at trial. This are the bullshit games and tactics the petty, vile, disgusting prosecutors of the BCPS do.
The Website is Not Going to Come Down Just Because Denhoff Orders Me to Take It Down
Moving on, I asked Denhoff what's going to happen when I'm released and the website doesn't come down TR 2022-02-25 p146l44-47. Are we just going to start this whole process over again, with me spending another year in jail, like we're in some kind of infinit loop?
Denhoff responded that she had concluded I do have the ability to cause the website to be taken down TR 2022-02-25 p147l1-6.
I told Denhoff, regardless of whether she and Johnson accept it or not, the simple fact is I don't have control over the website and it is not going to come down TR 2022-02-25 p147l14-18. But pay close attention to the exact wording I used there. I did not say I would not take the website down; I said the website is not going to come down. That is, if I'm not the one keeping the website online, if say, Desiree or some group of angry feminists is keeping it online, in order to keep me perpetually imprisoned then how is ordering me to take it down going to make them take it down?
Bear in mind, a significant part of my defense has been that the police and the prosecution have consistently admitted they have no actual evidence that I've had any involvement with the website since I've been on probation. And one very real theory I had presented was that it may actually be Desiree herself, or any of her supporters, who are keeping the website online, for the very purpose of ensuring my perpetual imprisonment. Regardless of whether or not you, Johnson, or Denhoff believes that is the case, this is criminal trial, and the accused is looking at a potentially significant period of imprisonment. A judge in a criminal proceeding CAN NOT convict a person and send them to prison for a year based solely on her belief that the person is guilty! There MUST be evidence to support the prosecution's allegations beyond a reasonable doubt! That is the most fundamental requirement of a criminal justice system! Otherwise, that so-called "justice" system is no different than China, Saudi Arabia, or Russia.
Denhoff Doesn't Seem to Understand the Limits of Her Capabilities
Denhoff went on to explain that the intention of the probation order is to ensure, for the longest duration possible, that I not publish or allow any previously published material about Capuano to remain publicly accessible TR 2022-02-25 p147l43-p148l5.
And so again, we see that these delusion cumshots have absolutely no understanding of things like causation.
As I've said before, a probation order - or any court order for that matter - DOES NOT stop a person from doing something. It only enables the justice system to punish the person, after the fact, if they do what they were ordered not to do.
Ordering me not to publish information about Capuano does not, by some cosmic force, prevent me from publishing anything about Capuano. All it does is authorizes the government to commence criminal proceedings against me AFTER I've already gone ahead and published information about her.
I honestly beleive that these shitstains actually believe that by simply ordering a person to do or not do something that, in itself, somehow actually causes the person to do or not do what they were ordered. I believe these people truly do not understand the difference between "not permitted" to do something; and "can't" do something. A red traffic light may prohibit you from driving through an intersection at that moment, but it sure as fuck doesn't stop you from doing so.
Being that I have such little patience for stupidity, particularly when that stupidity manifests in someone who is supposed to hold some measure of intelligence, say for example, like a criminal court judge, I point out to Denhoff that I've been subject to these same probation conditions for over three years now and so far they have had exactly zero effect on anything. The website is still online and information continues to be published to it. I tell her I don't know why the prosecution, and by implication the court, would think that anything would be different because they are now imposing the same conditions yet again TR 2022-02-25 p148l20-27.
Denhoff responded that what will happen is my period of incarceration will continue to increase TR 2022-02-25 p148l29-32. Except that, my period of incarderation wasn't increasing. Denhoff pointed out, herself, that my previous sentence was 16.5 months and now the prosecution was only seeking 12 months. And, on the next case (244069-10-BC), I'm going to be sentenced to 15 months, which is still less than the 16.5 I got on the previous conviction for exactly the same thing. And not to mention, all that time in jail/prison doesn't seem to have made a single difference to my behavior or my willingness to keep the website online.
I Tell Denhoff Any Probation Order Will Be Futile and a Waste of Time
I then said that I oppose there being another probation order.
I told Denhoff I believe it'll be futile and a waste of everybody's time and effort. I further argued for a sentence of time served, because it is clear that any sentence, no matter how long, is not going to have any deterrent effect. I tell her it's really not going to make any difference whatsoever. I tell her no sentence is going to make me change my behavior. It's not going to make me do anything differently. But moreso, since I'm not the one keeping the website online, sentencing me to six months or one year or even four years is not gong to make someone else take down the website TR 2022-02-25 p148l38-p149l15.
There's nothing a judge likes more than to hear an accused say to her face, on the record in open court, that it doesn't matter how long she sends him to prison for, he's not going to stop doing what it is that the judge is trying to make him stop doing. Once again, I say: the BC justice system is powerless and impotent to make me take down the website.
All Denhoff could say in response to that was to reiterate that she's sentencing me because she believes I do have control over the website TR 2022-02-25 p149l16-22. Well toots, wishing it were so does not make it so.
Denhoff Imposes the Same Condition Which, So Far, Have Made No Difference
Denhoff then said that the sentence she had in mind was much longer than what the prosecution was asking for.
She said she agrees with the long (three year) period of probation, given the "societal ill" they're trying to address TR 2022-02-25 p149l34-41. Now, consider that for a moment. I just told Denhoff that no duration of prison time is going to change anything, and that no probation order is going to have any effect on my behavior. I reminded her that I've now been subject to these same conditions for the past three years and they've had absolutely no effect. The website is still online.
So what does she do? She imposes the same conditions which, according to her and Johnson, I have completely ignored for the past three years. How are she and the BCPS anything other than either insane or completely retarded?
I Request a Two Year Sentence, Denhoff Refuses
I asked Denhoff how much longer of a sentence she had in mind. Whether she was thinking of more than two years. She responded that she was thinking of two years, plus a three year probation order. I told her I would certainly be agreeable to two years because if the sentence is over two years then she can't impose a probation order. So she responded, it would be two years less a day, plus the three year probation order TR 2022-02-25 p150l1-11.
This is another example of Denhoff's ignorance of the law. The requirement that probation can only be imposed on a sentence of less than two years CCC s. 731(1)(b) applies to what's called the "effective sentence", that is, the duration of the sentence to be served as of the time of sentencing. It does not apply to the entire sentence imposed. So, as long as the duration of the sentence to be served, after giving credit for pre-sentencing time served, does not exceed two years then probation can be imposed.
And Denhoff's statement about "two years less a day" is also irrelevant because section 731 states "imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years". So a term of exactly two years would not exceed two years. With respect to probation, this whole "two years less a day" nonsense is unnecessary. Most Canadian judges don't even realize this. You would think knowledge of the law would be a requirement for being a judge, but apparently not.
Denhoff's Reasons for Sentence
And with that, Denhoff proceeded with her Reasons for Sentence.
There wasn't too much of interest in Denhoff's Reasons for Sentence because it was, of course, based on the assumption that everything in the Reasons for Sentence was true and accurate. This is typical. Usually the judges make up a bunch of outrageous bullshit to justify finding you guilty, then for sentencing they rely on that bullshit to justify the sentence. Anyway...
Denhoff starts with a recounting of the outrageous nonsense from Justice Heather Holmes' Reasons for Sentence on the criminial harassment conviction RFS ¶4. This is to set the context, so the rest of the world understands what a bad, bad man I am - regardless of whether or not there's actually any truth to Holmes' words.
Denhoff Lies About the Website Being Harassment
Later, Denhoff falsely claims the website was the basis upon which I have been found guilty of criminally harassing Capuano RFS ¶11; ¶19. Which is false because, contrary to what Denhoff and every prosecutor has claimed since, Holmes never made a finding that the website by itself constituted harassment. Holmes only said the website combined with my email correspondence constituted harassment.
In the absence of any further communication with Desiree, there could be no harassment. Namely because a website is:
- Public communication, targeted at the general public, not communication targeted at Capuano.
-
Passive communication which Desiree would have to explicitly seek out (that is, she would have to explicitly go to the website) in order to be "subjected to". A person cannot be harassed by another person's communication with a third party if they are knowingly and deliberately going out of their way to cause themselves to hear that communication.
Holmes even alluded to this during the trial, after hearing the testimony and seeing the evidence. The prosecutor, Mark Myhre, was trying to argue that the content of the website constituted indirect communication because people who know Capuano would see it and tell her about it, but Holmes pointed out that that would be, at most, indirect communication with those other people, not with Capuano TR 2017-06-19 p59l25-p61l16.
Denhoff Acknowledges No Amount of Punishment Will Make Me Take Down the Webiste
Denhoff did acknowledge, at one point, that she does not believe any punishment will actually make me take down the website RFS ¶12. Though she was a little more ambiguous in her wording.
Nevertheless, I do agree with her on that. Since my first arrest in 2016, I have maintained that I will never take down the website. I have consistently declared that they can put me in jail for the rest of my life, but that website will remain. Apparently, they thought I was bluffing. Apparently, they thought if they keep locking me up then eventually I would give up and take it down. In September 2020, I posted an article declaring the BC justice system is impotent and powerless to make me take down the website. But here we are, more than ten years later, after having spent seven years in jail/prison, and the website is still online. So suck it, bitches!
Denhoff Inadvertently Points Out the Prosecution's Stupidity
Denhoff did point out the incredible idiocy of the prosecution, because they believe a longer probation order prohibiting me from publishing anything about Capuano will be more helpful in ensuring I will not continue to harass her, than would a longer prison sentence RFS ¶15.
First, a court order prohibiting a person from doing something doesn't actually prevent them from doing it, it only allows them to be punished after the fact, if they do it. So how would a probation order do anything at all to protect Capuano from anything?
Second, the same probation conditions have, thus far, for the past three years, done absolutely nothing to influence my behavior, so why on earth would the prosecutor think this time would be any different?
Denhoff Falsely Claims I Have Resisted Offers of Rehabilitation and Acknowledgement of Responsibility
Denhoff then says, so far I have been entirely resistant to offers of rehabilitation through psychiatric assessment and treatment, and that I have been resistant to acknowledging responsibility RFS ¶18.
Except that I have consistently been completely open and willing to participating in any psychiatric assessments - as long as the sessions are recorded and a copy of the recordings are provided to me. It has been the Forensic Psychiatric Services Commission (FPSC) who have refused to allow the sessions to be recorded. So it is the FPSC who is refusing to participate in a psych assessment, not me.
And why do you suppose the FPSC would refuse to allow the sessions to be recorded? Because, as their name suggests, they are a "forensic" organisation first and foremost. Their first purpose is to make diagnoses which the prosecutors and the judges can use to their benefit. And if the session is recorded, then the FPSC would not be able to twist, distort, and misrepresent what the patient says during that session.
And that is why, when I did the psych assessment as part of my probation on the criminal harassment sentence, I snuck a recorder in and recorded the entire interview. I then immediately published that recording on this website. Since the recording was now public, the FPSC had no choice but to declare I have no indications of any mental illness. Some personality disorders perhaps, but being an asshole isn't a mental illness.
And as for acknowledging my responsiblity, Denhoff is just a delusional twit. I accept full responsibility for my actions. I am responsible for creating and maintaining the website. I am responsible for doing everything I can to make Desiree's life as miserable as possible by exposing all the bad things she does. I am responsible for publicly exposing the endless lies, corruption, and misconduct of the BC prosecutors, legal aid lawyers, and judges. What I refuse to accept is that Desiree is a victim in any of this. She initiated the hostilities and attacks - I have merely responded to what she started. And I refuse to accept that the prosecutors and judges have done nothing inappropriate.
Denhoff Contradicts Herself
Denhoff Unequivocally Orders I Am Only Required to Report to Probation One Time
And finally, Denhoff read in the probation conditions she was imposing. A critical point here is that she clearly and unequivocally stated I would only be required to report one time, for the purpose of informing the probation officer of the exact steps I had taken to cause the website to be no longer available and that, once I've done that I would not be required to report again RFS ¶23-24. She was very explicit in stating "Once you have reported the exact steps that you have taken to comply with that condition, you will no longer be required to report to a probation officer." I emphasize this because what actually happened following my release, is that I did report exactly as required, but the probation officer told me to come back in a few days and report again. I refused, showing the probation officer the order stating I was only required to report that one time. Then, when I didn't report the second time, the probation officer went to court and obtained a warrant for my arrest because I failed to report the second time. And the judge actually approved the warrant! I did exactly what I was ordered to do, but they still issued a warrant for my arrest which resulted in yet another year in jail waiting for a trial. Do I really need to say anything more?
And as corrupt, fascist, and tyrannical as Canada and it's deplorable justice system are, the Canadian people honestly believe their country is so fair and decent and superior to China, Saudi Arabia, Russia ... and the United States. What a bunch of smug, self-righteous, arrogant bastards.
From there, I was transferred to Fraser Regional Correctional Centre (FRCC) to serve out the remaining couple months of my sentence.

This is the appearance where Johnson, acting as an agent of the Crown Counsel, knowingly and deliberately lied to the court, claiming he, personally, had just checked the disclosure hard drive provided to me, and that the files on it are, in fact, not encrypted. He went on further to suggest that, perhaps I am not being forthright in the matter.
Well, a dump of that entire hard drive is right here on this website, so anyone can check for themselves whether or not those files are encrypted. And, as you can see, the files are most definitely encrypted!
Johnson also claimed that two of his witnesses contacted him that morning to say their children had been diagnosed with COVID so they would not be available to testify today. He used that as the basis to request an adjournment which, of course, was granted.

Participants:Chris Johnson, Julianne Lamb, Patrick FoxComments:
This is the hearing where Johnson knowingly and deliberately lied to the court, claiming that during the police interrogation of me they offered to allow me to access my phone so I could show them that I had sent an email to the editor of the Desiree Capuano website asking them to shut it down, but that I refused. In reality, the only option the police gave me was to provide them the password for my phone and laptop so they could go through them in my absence.

Appeal Briefs and Materials
-
Participants:Patrick FoxComments:
In this notice of appeal, I raised the following grounds:
- Denhoff's verdict was based on her false belief that I had access to the internet and to my email while I was in custody. This is significant because since I didn't have access to the internet then even if I had control over the website I would not have been able to take it down.
- Denhoff erred in her interpretation of "no longer available", claiming the condition I was accused of violating required me to take down the website and to keep it down for the entire duration of the probation order. That is wrong because the wording of the condition only required me to take the website down; while another condition explicitly prohibited me from putting it back online for the duration of the order. Denhoff's supposed interpretation would mean the two conditions meant the same thing.
- Denhoff erred in finding it would be implausible that another person would be the one keeping the website online. That was an error because, in fact, Desiree herself had a significant incentive for keeping the website online - to cause my repeated arrest and imprisonment.
- Denhoff erred in making numerous, significant, erroneous assumptions based on my testimony, rather than seeking clarification. I argue that when dealing with the testimony of a self-represented defendant, the judge should never make assumptions.
- Denhoff erred in disregarding Det. Dent's admission on the witness stand, that he had made false statements on the witness stand at my prior trial. Regardless of that admission, the judge still accepted Dent's testimony as reliable.

2021-08-12Surveillance of Patrick Fox upon Release from CustodyParticipants:Patrick Fox, Unidentified Male,Comments:
Upon my release from custody, Dent thought it would be a good idea to have a team of detectives surveil me all day to find out where I would be staying. At the trial, on cross-examination, I asked him "Did it ever occur to you to simply ask me?" He responded "No". I'm not surprised. He doesn't seem like the sharpest tool in the shed.
Media:I'm in the parking lot of the mall in Maple Ridge, BC, with my friend Unidentified Male, enjoying a real American Pall Mall (not that imitation crap they sell in Canada). Mr. Male was kind enough to take the day off to drive all the way to Maple Ridge to pick me up. What a good friend.
I'm inside a Starbucks on Cambie Street, enjoying a tasty, refreshing Starbucks coffee and reconfiguring my phone.
Standing outside the London Drugs near Gastown, waiting while my friend, Mr. Male, tries to figure out how to pay the parking meter with his phone. Hot dang, I'm a sexy bitch!
And here I am with Unidentified Male, in a parking lot in downtown Vancouver, talking about nothing, or something, I can't remember. You see that red box I pull out of my pocket? That's a pack of real, American Pall Malls (again, not that crappy imitation shit they peddle in Canada), sent to me by my good friend Munoz prior to my release so I wouldn't have to regain my freedom while smoking crappy, bland-assed Canadian cigarettes. What good friends I have.
It was so fucking hot that day!
So there you have it. Tax payer's money well spent, Mr. Dent. What was it, five detctives following me for about eight hours? And you were able to figure out I'd be staying at the Belkin House - something you could have found out from the probation department because I'm required to inform them of my address. Or you could have found out by simply asking me, you fucking moron!

2021-09-15Dump of Disclosure Hard Drive Containing Only Encrypted FilesParticipants:Comments:
This is a dump (copy) of the entire external USB hard drive the prosecutor provided me on 2021-09-15, which was supposed to contain the disclosure material for the case. As you can see, every single file on the drive was individually encrypted. Obviously, encrypted files are useless to me since I can't access them.
As soon as I discovered the files were encrypted I informed Johnson, and requested they provide another hard drive with the files not encrypted, and leave the current hard drive with me so I could show the court at that next appearance.
At that next appearance (on 2021-10-14), Johnson told me he can take the drive over to the Crown's office and check for himself what the status of the files is. He then, later, told the judge he personally checked the files and that they are not, in fact, encrypted. He went on to say, perhaps "Mr. Fox isn't being forthright" in this matter. I then demanded we plug the drive into a laptop right now, in open court, on the record, and see whether or not the files are encrypted. Both Johnson and the judge refused to do that even though it would have taken only five minutes and, if Johnson was telling the truth, it would have proven I was lying.
So, in order for the whole world to see how full of shit Chris Johnson is; and how it is common practice for the BC prosecutors to lie in, and to, the court; and for the judges to aide them in covering up those lies; I have put a copy of that entire hard drive, in it's original state on this website. If you try to access any file you'll see it's encrypted. If you open any file in a hex editor, you will see the following byte sequence:
46 69 6C 46 01 00 00 00 03 00 03 00 00 10 00 00

So, as you can see, the files are clearly and unquestionably encrypted, using Broadcom PGP NetShare. Which means Johnson clearly and unquestionably lied to the court. Which means the court then assisted Johnson in concealing that lie by not allowing me to plug the hard drive into a laptop in open court and prove he was lying.
