minus-squareMapleEngineer@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up38·1 year agoIf you come to Ottawa and commit crimes in Ottawa you should be tried in Ottawa. If you want to be tried in Upper Rubber Boot, Alberskatchetoba then do your crimes there. (Before some pedant comes in and points out that he’s from Ontario and not Upper Rubber Boot, Alberskatchetoba, I know.) You should not be able to travel somewhere, commit crimes, then expect to be tried somewhere else where you will get a more sympathetic jury.

But it’s devastating to my case!
True dat.

Yes, and it should be denied.
And it no doubt will be.
