How many people in Saskatoon who have taken the time to read the Baynton Judgement believe that Michael Cardamone is guilty? How many people in Saskatoon that have taken the time to read the Batten Judgement and the descending written judgement of Mr. Justice Vancise believe that Mr Cardamone is guilty? How many people who watched the Fifth Estate program “Scandal of the Century” and the Ross twins recant their testimony believe that Michael Cardamone is guilty? How many people know this was not the first time one of the Ross children recanted? The Ross children are victims, it took courage, guts and a belief in doing what was right to come forward, the Ross twins did this on their own with no pressure from anyone.
The age of the child in the Cardamone story that started the hunt was 7 years. The age of the Ross twins when the hunt first started in Saskatoon was 5. I will repeat that for the people who seem to think that these children are liars, perverts in the making, have not taken responsibility for their lies, are responsible for destroying lives and the other crap on the internet about these children that has left them with guilt and apologizing. They were between 5 and 10 years old! They were manipulated and used, not only by the people in charge of their care, but by doctors, lawyers and judges, and now they are insulted by posts on the internet. What is more important, the image of a court, or the rape of a child?
The three Ross children had no one to care for them, they were three fetal-alcohol damaged dysfunction children who for years were left in the control of people who believed in "brood mares", sacrificing and eating babies. Every judge that heard the cases knew the twins were being raped and assaulted, the lawyers, government officials, everyone knew, and did nothing. When five people picketed to let the public know they were arrested and placed under gag orders. For over ten years three judges of the Court of Queen’s Bench sealed documents, issued gag orders, secret orders, publication bans and to top it off after over ten years a judge said, “The children realize the enormity of the tragedy that has been suffered by the plaintiffs as a result of their false allegations. Although they are to be commended for their courage in admitting the wrongs that they committed, I am not convinced that they yet accept responsibility for them.”
The children are not responsible. Read the judgement of Madam Justice Batten and then read the descending judgement of Justice Vancise. It is clear who is responsible, it is also clear who is responsible for the over ten year cover-up nightmare suffered by innocent people charged and the persecution and gag order of John Lucas who tried to help two twin girls who were left for 43 months, between May 29th 1990 & January, 1994 to be raped and assaulted.
Mr Lucas’s gag order not only prevents him from contacting his own children, it isolates and prevents him from defending himself. Their telephone conversations and internet connections are monitored. His wife had a heart attack shortly after she was arrested the last time, she was held in jail for two days so their home could be ransacked. The July 6th, 2004 order amending the gag order was to allow Mr Lucas to accompany his wife to the hospital. It is time for the gag order to be removed, he has no need to picket, let the truth be heard at his jury trial in October 2005, until then take the gag order off, stop blaming the children and let people testify on behalf of Mr Lucas concerning the credibility of his accusers.
Justice Baynton said in his judgement: “the defendants focused on the minute detail and never stood back to view the case in full perspective. Had any of them done so, I would not be giving judgment in this case.”
If any of the parents in the Cardamone case left their children alone with people who in the article By Christy Gutowski Daily Herald Legal Affairs Writer, March 12, 2005 made statements like: “a serial child molester who methodically manipulated his gymnasts so that the young girls endured repeated abuse rather than betray him.” - "This defendant violated the trust of these children and their parents," - "To betray that trust and violate the innocence of a child is matched by only one offense, and that's murder." - “a pickpocket whose masterful thievery went undetected until his arrest in late 2002.”. These parents need to stand back and view the case in full perspective, read the Baynton Judgement. Justice Baynton’s Judgement should be required reading in all social work classes and Law Schools.
The article by Christy Gutowski also said: “They did not have forensics, solid witnesses or his confession to support their words. In fact, many coaches, gymnasts and parents called them liars.” The children are not “liars.” If any of the parents were to take their child to a qualified doctor not connected to the case, he or she could explain to them what it is. If they do not take their child to a doctor in about 10 years time their children will be victims, ask the Ross twins what it is like to be victims.
The charges could not have proceeded without the supporting testimony of a doctor. There was a time when people had respect for and trusted doctors. This ended when medical associations started protecting doctors instead of protecting the public. Removing the licence or disciplining incompetent doctors ended when court judgements against incompetent doctors resulted in large court settlements and higher insurance costs for doctors. Excellent qualified doctors had to stop doing some procedures as a result of high insurance costs. The doctors would have found themselves in the same boat as churches across Canada. The churches were looking at having to sell the churches to pay the settlements as a result of Canadians turning a blind eye to years of people claiming to be Christians raping and assaulting children. The incompetent doctors are protected by the medical associations, the information is kept private, the tactics the doctors insurance companies use leave it imposable for people to afford the legal costs of a court action. The result is doctors who kill people, drug dealers, doctors who have decided themselves that they are experts and other low life’s unheard of in the profession in the past.
The same can be said of the legal profession and Law Societies. There was a time when people had respect for and trusted police officers, social workers, judges, and believe it or not, lawyers.
It will take more than the wild ranting of a prosecutor and a doctor claiming to be an expert to convince me that Mr Cardamone is guilty. Mr Cardamone is not the only victim.
