This from Wikipedia:
Arrest
Jaffer was charged with drunk driving and possession of cocaine in September 2009, after
Ontario Provincial Police stopped him for speeding through the town of Palgrave, Ontario.
His driver's licence has been suspended for 90 days and he is to appear in court in
Orangeville, Ontario on October 19. During the 2008 election Jaffer's campaign approved
radio ads accusing NDP leader Jack Layton of being soft on marijuana use. The ads said, in
part, "Edmontonians understand how difficult it is to make sure our children make the
right choices, especially on serious issues like drug use. The Conservative Party supports
drug-free schools and getting tough with drug dealers who sell illegal drugs to children.
Don't let our schools go up in smoke. On Oct. 14, vote Conservative."
And it's the Conservatives that now want to increase sentences on drug dealers? Maybe
what they need to do is clean House first.

In the case of Rahim Jaffer, as in the case of anybody else
caught drinking and driving and/or using illicit drugs, I'll
let the courts decide whether he is innocent or guilty.

That being the case, Morris would soon be leaving us.

Indeed. Perhaps he'd prefer dunking or trial by fire?

Trial by arms a la outrance would also work.
(That option wias still on the books in England up until
about 1983--when someone used it to get off on an otherwise
clear cut case. At that point, Parliament repealed the
option.)

It never ceases to amaze me the laws that are made and then just
ignored.

In this case, it's understandable.
The idea of two grown men going at each other with
broadswords for a few hours just to prove who was correct in
a matter of law kind of went by the wayside by the end of
the Middle Ages.
Besides, having a judge decide based on evidence meant you
stayed alive if you lost; trial by arms a la outrance was a
fight to the death.
Like many laws, it fell into disuse and nobody got around to
taking it off the books. That is, until some bright soul
decided to take advantage of it.

True, but I would think that somewhere along the line that particular
law would have been rescinded long before it was.

Heh. Silly but fun to watch. :-)

Yep. Of course GOD was on the side of the winner, eh? :-)

A smart aleck alright. Must have been a law student.

Lawmakers don't always take time to go through the books and
repeal laws that are no longer practical or applicable.
It's one of the things our city counsel did here in Edmonton
back in the 1990s. They went through the bylaws and got rid
of stuff that didn't serve a purpose any more--like
requiring merchants to provide a hitching post outside the
store so people could tie up their horses.

Of course. That's why he won.
That the winner might be a bigger, healthier, better trained
and more rested warrior had nothing to do with it.

Of course not! Why would you think that? :-)

On the subject of out of date laws! The following was reported in the
press many years ago.
A law student attending an old (very old) British university came
across a Middle Ages regulation that required the university to
provide him with a minimum of 'two measures of short beer daily'. So
he sued for it.
However they then slapped him with a five guinea fine (A not
inconsiderable amount back in the Middkle Ages!) for not wearing his
broad sword while attending classes; as required by another university
regulation!

I guess two can play at that game.
