COURT DATES

URGENT - IMPORTANT COURT DATES FOR THE DEFENDERS OF EAGLE RIDGE BLUFFS

What important court date? Wednesday, August 2nd and Thursday, August 3rd.

What's happening then?
A dozen or more Eagle Ridge Bluff defenders will be locked into
face-to-face hearings with Kiewit and Sons. You remember Kiewit and
Sons, that monstrous US corporation with the equally monstrous
environmental record, who is currently blasting Eagle Ridge Bluffs to
bits. The kind of corporation that Gordon Campbell prefers in order
to achieve his promise of the 'greenest games ever'.

And Madam Justice Brown will be presiding in the courtroom unless the
crown (re: Michael Brundrett) tries to take over the courtroom once
again. But I doubt this. Mr. Brundrett seems to have backed off this
tactic and pushed Kiewit and Sons up to the plate. At least until
Madam Justice Brown accepts Kiewit's application to charge, and then,
of course, the crown will step in and relieve this plundering US
corporation of any responsibility in the matter. How generous is our
premier who has never met a rapacious US company he didn't love.

Citizens, we need you! Even if you're not a citizen of BC or Canada,
please come support us. We are all citizens of the world. We need to
stand united before the forces that are killing our life support
systems. Come to court. Cameron Ward will be representing me.

Where? Supreme Court Building, 800 Smithe Street. 9:30am, both days.
Ask for courtroom at information desk.
When? August 2nd and 3rd.

Dear Women in the Woods and Supporters;

My new address is:

Alouette Correctional Centre for Women
PO Box 1000
Maple Ridge, BC
V2X 3K4

Phone (for information about visits): 604.476.2660

I’m a long way from Vancouver but it anyone will be in the direction and might want to visit send me your complete name, address, date of birth and telephone number (please send information to mkrawczy@sfu.ca or 604.710.2408). This all has to be put on a an approve and approved visitation list, and…
While I have been in custody (jail) now for a week there are still no charges against me, brought by Kiewit and Sons, Sea to Sky Highway or by the Crown. Their object was, and remains, for Madam Justice Brown, to simply put me away without charge. And Madam Justice Brown has obliged Kiewit and Sons and Sea to Sky Highway and the gentleman for the Crown, Mike Brundrett. As there are no charges against me, Madam Justice Brown and Mr. Brundrett are sharing the job of prosecuting me while pretending to serve to course of justice. It is stunning to me that Madam Justice Brown and Mr. Brundrett could both wear two hats – Madam Justice Brown as judge and prosecutor and Mr. Brundrett as Intervenor, as he claims in my case, and as prosecutor. Is there any doubt in anybody’s mind how a proposed trial by these two will turn out for me?
I do want a trial as that is the only way I can bring Eagleridge Bluffs into the courtroom but not a sham trial like a trial by Madam Justice Brown and Mr. Brundrett would be, so I’m sending the following letter to Madam Justice Brown:

Madam;

Because you have personally held me under arrest for six weeks without a charge from any of the complainants (Kiewit and Sons, Sea to Sky Highway and the Crown) you have by the process of elimination become my only compliantant of note. Therefore my Lady, you:
a) Have a vested interest in the outcome of any trial you might bring forth for me concerning my arrests at Eagleridge Bluffs, and;
b) Because you have become a party to the action yourself I will not agree to a trial brought forward by you alone, and considering that;
c) My numerous convictions so well articulated by Mr. Brundrett in court on July 6, 2006, and his warning of prosecuting me for all three of my arrests at Eagleridge Bluffs and that things could turn out to be very serious for me, and that;
d) In order for your court to be seen, and to actually be, seeking justice, then I must, in the interest of fundamental justice, be granted a trial by judge and jury.

Madam, please consider this letter as a formal application for a trial by judge and jury.

Thank you,

Betty Krawczyk
