Montpetit said his client is very happy, though the lawyer would have preferred getting the glory by winning with brilliant arguments. Another Quebec Court judge, Claude Millette, also acquitted a man on three death-threat charges. The prosecutor wasn't there for the preliminary hearing. A spokesman for Quebec's 300 prosecutors said they can't control what judges do. Genevieve Dagenais said.
Judges can do what they well want.
Now prosecutors hold a meeting among themselves in the morning and then meet with witnesses and victims. We were meeting the victims at the time. Dagenais didn't reply when asked if this could hurt public support for the prosecutors. Our demands are legitimate. We are trying to offer a better service.
