Here are typical sentences for similar, crimes. This is one reason we say that Survivors are treated very unfairly by our Courts. By all accounts Mr. Young should have been sent away for quite awhile. Did the Crown ask, tell or condone Mr. Young's actions? It sure appears like it given the facts. G. A. Campbell, 31, was convicted on four counts of violating bail, failing to comply with probation and failing to attend court. She was sentenced to time served, having already spent six months in pre-trial custody. M-G Snyder, 26, was convicted on one count of threatening. She was sentenced to 30 days in jail and placed on probation for 18 months. S Gordon, 45, was convicted of theft and sentenced to four months in jail. L. Brierley, 22, was convicted of threatening. He was sentenced to time served, having spent 22 days in pre-trial custody, and was placed on probation for 15 months. Tim Young was charged with approximately 11 counts of violating bail, 4 counts of criminal harassment, one count of threatening death, 3 counts of assault. The majority of which occurred while Mr. Young was testifying against me for the Crown. The majority of which I was told I could not bring up in Court during my trial and while his trial was pending. In a deal with the Crown, we believe, Mr. Young subsequently plead guilty to approximately one original charge and a minor charge of violating his conditions of release. We are not sure about this or the reason why the subsequent more serious charges were dropped. My wife asked the Crown the day of his hearing and was told to ask Lee Burgess. Our faxes and emails to him has gone unanswered. The Victim's Advocate's Office told us it was not their job they were only there for support and educational purposes. They told us to get in touch with Lee Burgess. So why did Mr. Young get his sweetheart deal?? Did Mr. Young, after pleading not guilty, have an ephinany changing his plea on two of the most minor charges, was given a pat on the back, asked not to assault people when he knows he is being video taped, sentenced to a few days of time served, and asked to attend probation if he feels up to it?? Mr. Young's sweetheart deal was executed in a side room in the Bancroft Court, not in open court so your guess is as good as ours as to his preferred status with the Belleville Crown Attorney's Office. And their not about ready to tell anyone their reasoning. Not for the sweetheart deal and not for why they repeatedly refused to protect us against this man while he was breaking his conditions of release for months on end prior and during our trial. Judge Hunter was sitting on the bench that day and we believe any Judge who gives the nod to a sweetheart deal regardless of who the Crown Attorney is after he ruled in our case, which is directly related to Mr. Young's, is in a conflict of interest. We believe Judge Hunter was in more than one conflict of interest and this we and others are investigating. Then questioned by a citizen journalist, as to the reasons for this abortion of justice, the office of the Victims Advocate, advised, call the Crown Lee Bugress. All communications with Crown Lee Burgess go unanswered. As do all communications with other Crown Attorneys, the Regional Director of Eastern Ontario Crown Operations, the Attorney General and the Premier. |
