CASE DROPPED AGAINST PRO-LIFE DEMONSTRATORS
STURGEON FALLS, Feb 13. 2001 (LSN.ca) - Pro-lifers who were arrested and charged in October 1999 over a "Show the Truth" demonstration outside a Sturgeon Falls high school emerged from a court battle last week with a positive result. The lawyer for the pro-lifers, Blaise MacLean, told LifeSite that the Crown in the case agreed to withdraw all charges against the demonstrators after a peace bond was negotiated.
The Crown attempted to show that since one of the high school protests in question was across the street from an elementary school, the demonstrators were also effectively picketing the elementary school with their large graphic photos of aborted babies. After Assistant Crown Attorney John Benson found Judge Cohen to be less than receptive to his case, he agreed to a deal. The Show the Truth members have agreed, for six months, not to picket in a way that might be construed as targeting an elementary school. There was no admission of guilt of any kind on the part of the pro-lifers, and Show the Truth is free to continue to its demonstrations.
