Does Judge Stephen Hunter know how much damage crack cocaine does to both the users and communities?

Maybe because these folks also had marijuana, this anti-Survivor Judge felt it mitigated these crimes? I don't know. But the message received is kind of clear - traffic in crack cocaine and get a suspended sentence, day in jail or at worst 45 days, to be served on weekends.

The message sent to the young folks is scary, you don't need to work or learn in school; the future lies in trafficking crack cocaine. Once again I want to make this clear, I'm not criticizing the learned Judge Stephen Hunter, I do know he is loved and respected in both the drug trafficking and pedophile communities for light sentences. I'm just trying to understand how our justice system operates.

It is known in the sexual abuse survivor's communities that there is a direct link between child sexual abuse and trafficking of drugs. It is part of the grooming many pedophiles use on their victims. It is also part of the agenda to keep the children under 'control' during and after the abuse. One wonders why learned Judges aren't as saavy as those who take advantage of drug trafficking to sexually abuse our best national resource - our children.

There does not appear to be one standard, in the next county the sentences for crack trafficking are much more serious. Guess they set up shop in the wrong place.

Four sentenced in crack cocaine bust Jack Le Blanc For: www.trentonian.ca « Previous Page - Wednesday, March 07, 2007 @ 10:00 Marion G, Terry W, Delroy H and Betty H were sentenced Tuesday in a Trenton criminal court after pleading guilty to possession of crack cocaine for the purpose of trafficking. Federal prosecutor Pat Hurley said undercover drug officers from Project Longarm carried out surveillance on an apartment at 97 North Murray Street on December 12, 2006. A number of people entering and exiting the apartment was indicative of a place where drug transactions were carried out. A male from Toronto, H, got into a 1992 Pontiac with B and W, and police followed them to Toronto where they observed two stops in “problem drug areas,” Hurley said. At the second stop an unknown male put a package into the vehicle. G joined the other accused as the vehicle headed back to Trenton. Police stopped the vehicle on Hwy. 401 at the Glen Miller Road exit, and arrested the four people in the vehicle. A search was conducted. G had 25 grams of crack cocaine on his person and police found several grams of marijuana in the vehicle, Hurley said. Police got a Controlled Drugs and Substances Act search warrant for Betty Anne Hardwick’s home where they arrested her. A search found seven painkillers, three sets of scales with a white residue consistent with crack cocaine, packaging materials, and seven grams of marijuana. Other charges against the accused were withdrawn on plea. Justice Stephen Hunter sentenced G to 45 days custody, to be served intermittently. He placed Green on probation for 18 months with orders to stay out of Hastings County save for travel along Hwy. 401. G is prohibited from communicating with W, H or B. H was sentenced to one day plus 83 days pre-trial custody. Hunter placed H on probation for 18 months with orders to stay out of Hastings County save for travel along Hwy. 401.

Both are prohibited from communicating with their co-accused, and each is subject to a 10 year weapons ban. W must make a $500 donation, and H a $250 donation to the Quinte West Community Development Council ‘children’s splash pad project’ within six months.
