Heather Holmes - BC Supreme Court Justice, Ministry of Justice

Now, the sentencing, that's a whole other story. I brought, literally, stacks of evidence - emails from Desiree, police reports, audio recordings - which proved Desiree had lied and that SHE had been subjecting me to harassment, threats, intimidation, for years prior to the creation of the website. Yet Justice Holmes completely disregarded every single piece of that evidence, as though it never existed. She sentenced me to 3 years and 10 months in prison, followed by 3 years of probation with conditions that I not leave British Columbia (Canada), not go within 100 meters of the US border, and not use the Internet. Justice Holmes did not care that I am not a Canadian citizen who is in Canada illegally and cannot work (legally) in Canada. I pointed out that those conditions will, literally, require me to remain homeless and destitute for 3 years. Holmes didn't give a shit.

And, since my release from custody on December 30, 2018, I had repeatedly appeared before Holmes seeking to have the restriction on leaving BC removed. Holmes has consistently ruled that I have failed to establish I am not a Canadian citizen. At the most recent hearing, on March 14, 2019, I submitted the recordings of the phone calls with IRCC and with CBSA, and the documents from the Ministry of Social Development, wherein all agencies clearly stated I am not a Canadian citizen and do not have status in Canada. And you know what Holmes said? She said I am manipulating those agencies, just like I'm manipulating this court and the Crown. She said that I manipulated IRCC and CBSA into saying what I wanted, then took that as them saying I don't have status. Really! Listen to the recordings yourself and decide for yourself. It would seem that Justice Holmes has quite an aversion to acknowledging that anything wrong was done in her justice system. It's just like the sentencing all over again.

And get this, at the March 14 hearing, Holmes actually had the audacity to say that Myhre has carried himself exceptionally well throughout this case - even through some very challenging periods! What the fuck!?!? You mean like when he was conspiring with Lagemaat to make sure that recording of Desiree laughing with the RCMP doesn't get played? Wow!

And as if all that's not enough, Holmes actually chastised me at the March 14 hearing because I hadn't put any effort into seeking employment or trying to obtain employment authorization from IRCC. Again, I say: What the Fuck?!?! Inadmissible! Do you know what that means, Miss Holmes? It means I am barred from entering or being in Canada, in part due to having been convicted of criminal harassment! Inadmissible! IRCC does not issue employment permits to foreign nationals who are not allowed to enter Canada.

But wait, it doesn't end there! So, Desiree and Myhre claim to have been in contact with Steve Riess (Ricky Riess's father) and that Mr. Riess is willing and has offered to provide a DNA sample to prove he is my father. As you can see in the emails between myself and Myhre, in the "Correspondence" section of this website, as soon as I told Myhre "Yes, definitely do a DNA test so we can resolve that issue once and for all", Myhre quickly backed out of pursuing that. Anyway, at the March 14 hearing, I requested the court order the Crown to request DNA samples from both Steve Riess and Peggy Sampogna (Ricky Riess's mother) - that would definitively prove whether or not I am really Ricky Riess, and therefore, a Canadian citizen. Holmes flatly denied that request! It seems, like Myhre, Holmes does not want any definitive proof that I and Ricky Riess are not the same person being presented. Heaven forbid we should prove incompetence, corruption, and misconduct in the justice system.
