Court Matters

Have written about my criminal matters at the back of this blog. But would like to emphasize that my first trial was based on information the court received, which was that I had no case against my landlady [and that there had been no business in progress, which was false]. My entire landlord/tenant file--quite large by then--was sent to the court. And the original police report, filed in Kingston, had been deliberately withheld from me; and I wasn't knowledgeable about criminal matters, at that time.--I didn't know enough to insist on seeing it, until later when it was too late to help with that trial. There was also the issue that I was a stalker--it was made to appear that I was romantically obsessed with a public official--on top of having a "frivolous and vexatious" legal claim. But as I've also stated earlier, there have been lawyers and government officials who have acknowledged that I wasn't mistaken about my landlord/tenant business. The case wasn't prosecuted further because of time limitations; and it wasn't proven that I would have won. But there were clear grounds for me to make a case of sexual harassment against a same-sex landlord, who happened to be female! The evidence was there; and I still have an official, cassette recording [made by the agency] of the original landlord/tenant hearing I attended. There was a new landlord/tenant agency in effect, with a new law, at the time; and none of us were completely acquainted with how the law applied at the beginning. [I felt I was being harassed/sexually harassed, but I didn't have enough knowledge to know how to prove it right away.--The evidence had been presented, however.]
