If you’re like me, you heard about the case of Noellee Mowatt yesterday and were dismayed that it seemed like there was nothing to do to help.
Good news: Mowatt’s lawyer Lydia Riva believes that the visible support for Mowatt is having a positive effect. To show support for Mowatt and ensure that no criminal charges are laid against her, show up outside of Toronto’s Old City Hall this Friday.

women can't continue to abuse the law and the courts and the 9/11 system AND THEMSELVES by recanting testimony - something has to be done but one of the things that has to be done is that judges have to start sending these men to jail, instead of letting them nearly kill a woman and getting out on probation.

No one, it seems, wants to talk about the fact that Mr. Harbin (the boyfriend) is incarcerated for something the witness now says - under oath - that he did not do. The logic seems to be that if a woman says she has been abused then she is telling the truth but if she says she has not been abused then she is lying: ergo the defendant is >always< guilty. Why do we bother with the trial? Just point the finger, have someone thrown in jail and run away.
