Hi Jenn,

Last night was the first night I hadn’t slept well in quite sometime.  I was up late scanning documents and working on one of the many things placed before me.  For the first time, I began watching the video testimonies.  I have avoided such for my mental health.  I am on my second one now, my sister.  It’s amazing watching people intentionally lie when you know the history yourself in detail.  Especially when you know the person.  I had the same thoughts last night watching Jim.  My mother and her testimony I am holding off until last.  In many ways I do not want to watch it.   I don’t want to watch her lie about her own son in testimony.  I feel for her as no mother should do such a thing.

I often regret sharing anything with you as I believe your interests are not the same as mine.  However, I do want to share the above and the following with you.  On a personal basis within myself, I am seeing a change.  Rather than feeling frustration at truths being twisted, misrepresented and completely discarded, I am finding it’s much healthier to just laugh at these people.  You really have been siding with people who lack their own integrity in terms of the truth and their own responsibility in terms of their own personal contributions into these affairs.  You really are dealing with people who I know to be self-directed/self-assured cheats, manipulators, liars and thieves.  I know them well enough to know that they’d be having discussions containing the sentences “they can’t prove that, who cares” and “say this”.

On to your Crown Counsel Disclosure Notice, Police Officers’ Notes and Will Says – Under Line 2, I should have 17 pages from you Cst. Ohashi.  I have 18.  I am missing pages 11 & 12 from both Court cases 95478-1 and 95739-1.  I know myself that I have not misplaced these.  If there is a mistake, I am openly sharing that with you so that it may be corrected without advisement from my lawyer.  Speaking of my lawyer, I did make a derogatory comment to him in regards to the whole Port Moody Police Department.  That is the second time I have felt guilty for stating such things, but this time I will not apologize for you have brought tremendously negative effects onto my life.  As I had stated to my lawyer - you are more than welcome to prove me wrong in regards to those comments.  In fact, I hope you do.  I don’t enjoy holding the department in a negative light.

I understand this is your career and this is reputation for not only yourself, but for the Department as well.  Please understand this is my life and I may not appear polished and refined to you, but in my view the truth should trump all.  As anyone in the true business of Justice should attest.  With that, perhaps I myself need to take a different view and I’ll start by thanking you for the recordings.
