Here is one that Canadians can feel good about. See... the justice system DOES work sometimes. He was psychologically detained. Good work by the judge there. This one worked within the laws and upheld 'justice' as most people would see it.

Psychological detainment, but it didn't end there. In an angle that, I admit, I never even considered, the decision of the judge to allow the evidence under Section 24 (2) was, in this case, a very good one. 24(2) is a tricky little thing and is open to being abused, but it appears that the judge acted in careful consideration of the situation (most notably, the proximity to the schools, and probably (although not stated) the combination of the weapon with the Mary Jane.

A nice contribution to the case law on psychological detention, while still serving justice under 24(2). Exactly what 24(2) was intended to do.

Good case.
