Next time you are in Toronto, coffee is on me :)

If not truth, then what? That’s my underlying worry. I’m one who thinks the system needs to recommit to the search for truth as its central justificatory axis.

My rx came from the fact that I worry our crim justice system often underplays the importance of the truth. That’s meant to be a worry that is agnostic about defence/prosecution perspectives. Eg both plea bargaining/unreviewable prosecutorial discretion & legal rights often stand in the way of truth

I get the angle now. From that direction, it’s a pro defence claim. I read it the other way around… as long as it can be proved, it doesn’t matter if it’s true all things considered!

What did Justice Cole have to say about the prospect of wrongful convictions if criminal trials are about proof not truth?

Rhythm is a Dancer is a classic with newspaper and morning coffee in hand.

Now I don’t know what it says about you that the algorithm landed on Cotton Eye Joe ☺️ An important song to introduce a toddler too, nonetheless.

Cotton Eye Joe always makes everything better 😂
