If the LSBC has cleared Perrin of wrongdoing I would be fascinated to read what he told them in response to what complaint had been made. It would be very interesting to discover what Bayne knows of what Perrin told the Law Society investigator and benchers.<br /><br />Based on what I know of these things the Court has rules, guidelines, maxims for resolving conflicts in testimony between witnesses such as Perrin and Wright. From the information you provide I think it likely the judge would find Perrin's evidence more credible and to be preferred when it clashes with Wright's.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-57732855058530104272015-08-20T14:01:55.279-07:002015-08-20T14:01:55.279-07:00Several comments further to my comment on Ben Perr...Several comments further to my comment on Ben Perrin yesterday. I was following the liveblog on his testimony today (as Crown's witness). <br /><br />Several interesting points came out this afternoon:<br /><br />(a) Perrin seems to have a very clear recollection of what happened that day in the room when the issue of Wright paying for Duffy's sins was discussed. Perrin described how Novak had come in and sat at the head of the table, to his right and to Nigel's left,<br /><br />(b) he then said that he was surprised when Nigel mentioned that he was paying, not Cons Party, which was what Perrin had thought of all along; he reaffirmed his RCMP statement by saying that he then looked at Novak and noticed there was no reaction when Nigel announced that he was paying ..... that would seem to indicate that Novak was not surprised likely because he already knew Nigel was paying, and <br /><br />(c) then Perrin said something new .... he affirmed that Novak was present for the entire conversation with Payne (Duffy's lawyer) for the entire 20 mins. or so .... now this directly contradicts Nigel's assertion that Novak had left the room.<br /><br />So, we are in for more interesting times. Oh, there was a report today that Perrin had already been cleared by the Law Soc. of BC and Ont. on this matter. <br /><br />Would that not suggest that it had been determined that Perrin did not do anything wrong because his client, the PM, was aware of what he was doing? bottom line: I do not see Perrin recanting on his statement to the RCMP that Novak knew, and if Novak knew, then to quote Tenycke, it would be "unfathomable" that Harper did not know.<br /><br />Hoping to be able to make it to court tomorrow when hopefully it will be cross exam. from Bayne.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-85295074961084515002015-08-20T13:51:55.774-07:002015-08-20T13:51:55.774-07:00What's frightening to Mound is many Canadians,...What's frightening to Mound is many Canadians, because of the trial, are just hearing about this deviant behaviour.
