\Message to Clement Fortin
Mr. Fortin, through an act of kindness, I decided to not pull the plug on your recent comments on my web site. I reached that decision purely because anyone who would march unannounced into anothers house and make rude statements to feather their own nest at someone else's expense is in need of therapy. I shall attempt here to provide the help that you seek.
You point out that your book on the Coffin affair is based on the trial transcripts and the information that was presented to the jury. It could be argued that you are suggesting that I have not read those transcripts. As a matter of fact, I have studied them in depth a number of times during the past year and a half.
You state that if I read your book, I will see an authentic picture of what was said before the Perce' jury. Are you suggesting Sir, that my accounting of this affair is less than accurate and authentic?
Though I believe that certain members of this particular jury were involved in something far beyond their means, never have I criticized this jury for the decision that was made based on the information presented before them. I am not concerned with the information that was put before them, but, "I am deeply concerned with the information that was never put before them."
I speak specifically of the suppressed evidence, I speak of the twisted evidence, and I speak of the thwarted attempts to mislead the jury. The autopsy reports can be proven to be a sham in a big way. I haven't even mentioned the fact of jury tampering by the prosecutors and the police at the inquest by forcing a cancellation of a verdict and the forcing of another. In this case, the judge was equally at fault because he allowed this to continue.
You Sir are a lawyer. I need not remind you of your obligations and responsibilities as an officer of the court. If you do need to be reminded of these things, in my view, then obviously you have been in a position that you were not, and are not, qualified to be involved with.
Again, in my view, if you feel that it was alright to hang Wilbert Coffin under such circumstances, then Sir, you are just as guilty as the cheap, sleazy, and dirty campaign of the 1950's, and there simply is no way that I am going to allow you to walk into my web site unannounced fifty-three years after the fact and scrape Wilbert Coffin from the bottoms of your boots. It simply will not happen.

I agree 100% it was the evidence that "wasn't" put before the jury that caused Wilbert Coffin to be executed. If it has taken this Fortin guy 53 years to understand that, then his head has been in the sand. I am not a lawyer but I have no trouble seeing that.

This guy named Clement Fortin? What planet did he just arrive from? Is he really a lawyer? Makes one wonder with the stupid statements that he makes.
He states that he based his book on the trial transcripts, as if he is the only one to have seen the transcripts. You have made mention of the transcripts dozens of times in the past year, and have quoted from them.
I think he is only interested in self promotion of his book. If he wants people to buy the book, he should consider an English version as 68% of the people in Canada speak and write only English

You have great blog and this post is good!
--
I keep quoting these dead white guys for a reason. We seem to be repeating some particularly nasty history, right now.
I read about it some days ago in another blog and the main things that you mention here are very similar
found your site on del.icio.us today and really liked it.. i bookmarked it and will be back to check it out some more later
Excellent work. see you,
very nice blog Thank you!
very nice post Thank you!
Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the web the simplest thing to be aware of.
I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people think about worries that they plainly don't know about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal.
Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
