The day he was born

We don't know for sure this convicted (pardoned) thief is responsible for the whole million that the government admits has been stolen from funds meant for welfare recipients.

We do know for sure that Carol Bunko-Ruys got over $200,000 for commiting therapy upon the Ross children.

We also know that Social Services moved a family to B.C. to get Kathy Ross out of the province, paid the mother untold sums in hush money and put out thousands to prevent CBC from finding Kathy in 2000 when The Scandal of the Century was being made.

We also know that foster parents Marilyn and Lyle Thompson were provided with almost unlimited funds to keep the Ross children on track while Bunko and Dueck were brainwashing them to testify in trials against innocent people. CBC couldn't find them, either and they were not to be found for the civil trial in 2003.

We really wish that the Thompsons would come forward now and let us know just how much money they were paid to do this dirty work and then disappear. We'd like to know who authorized those cheques.

Then there is Susan Pasieka who apprehended the adopted Vopni children, helped have the parents charged and placed the apprehended kids in foster care. What kind of deal does she have going to get special funding for foster parents and what kind of a deal does she have with parents who are willing to take FASD adolescent girls and then put them on the birth control pill and let them run wild on the streets?

Jan 20, 2005: Police Complaints Inquiry clears cop who killed Jeff Berg.

We have seen how for 35 years cops got away with a malicious prosecution in the David Milgaard case. The expensive inquiry going on in Saskatoon is designed to allow the cops who did this to get on the stand and "explain" why they did what they did.

We can expect to hear about lost files, deceased witnesses, retired cops, and straight-faced liars claiming they were just following procedures.

They get away with what they can get away with.

In the case of Jeff Berg, it would seem to be murder.

RCMP Corporal Gary Steinke is now chief Inspector in charge of Sherwood Park, the Edmonton district where he first set up Jason Dix for a wrongful murder conviction.

Dix sued and Judge Keith Ritter awarded damages and stated the Crown and Police ran a case cloaked in malice.

RCMP officer Al Haslett helped U.S. police run a successful malicious prosecution against Vancouver teenagers Atif Ray and Sebastian Burns built on similar tactics:luring the suspect(s) into a "criminal organization" promising money.

Wilfred Hathway is awaiting a preliminary hearing after Saskatoon cop, Sgt. Donald Yonkman, got together with RCMP sting operators to lure him into a lose-lose situation. Yonkman was not even on the force at the time of the original investigation which found NO evidence against Hathway, despite trying to trick his parents into turning against him.

So far, Malice is still paying off for these corrupt officials.

Yesterday, the day before the Court of Appeal announced it is sending the two acquitted white men back to trial and the one convicted white man back for a proper sentence, it was announced that the father of the girl these men raped has been charged with five counts of sexual assault from incidents which happened between 1986 and 1991. He's 37 now so do the math.

You may also remember that this same man was humiliated in the community when the prosecutor roared into the first trial and announced the DNA evidence found on the girl's panties did not match any of the accused but matched the girl's father. This was never tendered as evidence. We also know that the girl had been apprehended and placed in foster care immediately after the incident and that it was several days before her panties were seized and sent to the lab for testing.

Based on this sensational smearing of the man's reputation, Susan Pasieka, the Main Child Protection worker in the area apprehended his other children. The boys were given back; the girls were kept.

Susan Pasieka protects children the way cats protect birds. She apprehended the adopted Vopni children in 1991, and had charges laid against several family members. All charges have ended in acquittals but one which was acquitted on a Queen's Bench appeal. The Crown is now appealing that decision.

The main players in this would appear to be head neighbourhood prosecutor Gary Parker and Pasieka. They have placed so many publication bans around their activities it is difficult to report on them. Frank Quennell, the justice minister, came to their defence when Sarah Gibb did a story for the Star Phoenix, Where angels fear to tread. This piece is not thinly veiled but thoroughly altered to preserve the identities of all parties. Nonetheless, two government ministers felt it necessary to write to the StarPhoenix.

Even as the David Milgaard Inquiry is looking for what went wrong in an injustice of the past, a malicious and relentless prosecution, the government of Saskatchewan is continuing to sanction practices which will guarantee the injustices will just keep coming at us.

Monique Turenne is now in custody in Florida and cannot speak for herself. Please read her story carefully and do what you can to inform others about the facts of her case.

Canadians and Americans alike should be ashamed at the disrepute Loren Schinkel has brought to the justice system on both sides of the border. I reprint Monique's story in her own words

Chief J.J. Ewatski Winnipeg Police Service 151, Princess Street Winnipeg, MB R3B 1L1

Dear Sir:

I have read your letter addressed to Ms. Sheila Steele dated March 20, 2003 which was posted on the injusticebusters website.

It goes without saying that, as Chief and supervisor of the Winnipeg Police Service, you felt compelled to voice your opinion and your subordinates' innocence. You also questioned the fairness of posting any allegations of wrongdoing against Mr. Schinkel and Sergeant Thiessen in my case.

What is unfair in this case are the following:

a) That I had endured approximately 9 1/2 hours of intense interrogation, threats and ridicule at the hands of two experienced detectives who knowingly brought me in under false pretence, held me against my will, refused my rights to a lawyer (actually Schinkel laughed when he noted that my lawyer was in Florida and couldn't/wouldn't be there in time), and threatened to lock me up if I didn't immediately sign their statement.

b) That I wrote only one sentence on the hand-written statement, 'I don't believe any of this'. Schinkel and Thiessen were not impressed by my insistence and stubbornness to prove my innocence and time was running out. When I refused to sign the hand-written statement, I was once again threatened to be locked up until I did so, thereby missing my husband's funeral. Exhausted and at my wits end, I 'printed' my name instead. Again your officers were taken aback by my act of defiance. At one of the extradition hearings, a typed police statement was presented. Needless to say that this 'rewritten' version did not include my one sentence nor was the signature the same. Your two officers took it upon themselves to rewrite their version minus my one sentence and forge my signature. Unfortunately for them, their version of events can and will be proven fabricated.

c) That my father, Jean-Emile Paille, called the Winnipeg Police (Princess Street) at two different times during the early morning hours of February 15th wanting to know my whereabouts and when I would be returned. At 5:00 a.m., he presented himself at your office. Sergeant Thiessen greeted him and assured him that I would return home shortly. At no time did Sergeant Thiessen indicate to my father that I was locked in an interrogation room against my will. My father would have acted differently had Sergeant Thiessen given him any reason to suspect police wrongdoing. Sergeant Thiessen deliberately lied to my father in order to secure more time for my confession (I still hadn't signed their statement) and to avoid him contacting a lawyer. This on-going police practice of forceful confessions has resulted in many wrongful charges and convictions. Your two officers overstepped their legal boundaries by utilising the Reid Technique and deliberately lying to my father.

d) That Mr. Schinkel and Sergeant Thiessen took two (2) police statements from my abusive ex-husband, Henry Thorimbert. That these two statements, taken days apart, contradict each other. In January 2003, Mr. Thorimbert advised our son that he never gave, signed a second police statement. He denies having met the Winnipeg Police on February 14th. He indicated that same either doesn't exist or that the Winnipeg Police forged his signature. Mr. Thorimbert is either denying same as he realizes that he committed perjury (his 2nd statement can be proven false) OR the Winnipeg Police knowingly took a fabricated and false 2nd statement from an abusive ex-husband OR the Winnipeg Police forged his signature. In any case, the Winnipeg Police did not act in good faith and will be held accountable. Although these statements don't form part of the extradition request, these were to be used at trial. The authorities thought to use Mr. Thorimbert's statement in establishing motive of financial gain in case their 'affair' theory failed.

e) Mr. Schinkel swore in his affidavit that WO Pierre Raymond of National Defence requested the Winnipeg Police interrogate me. This was confirmed untrue by many sources, including Dan Lett of the Winnipeg Free Press. When further investigated, the Winnipeg Police changed their story. They admitted that quote, 'It must have been the military police who requested same' unquote. Again this was proven false. Note that the Winnipeg Police refused to answer any further questions in this matter. They had been caught in their lies. As the Florida authorities had no authority to question me without my US lawyer, the Winnipeg Police were asked to do so. The Winnipeg Police removed me from my parents' home under false pretence, thereby avoiding the Miranda legalities. In their creative approach, no one would suspect their wrongdoing and no lawyer would be contacted. This further confirms that Mr. Schinkel signed a perjured affidavit in his description of the events of February 14th 1996.

f) That Madame Justice Steel ordered my extradition based on Loren Schinkel's affidavit and the rewritten Winnipeg Police statement.


Schinkel and Thiessen have acted inappropriately throughout this case. Their actions and wrongdoings were brought up at the Extradition hearings. Unfortunately, I have no rights under the present Extradition Law and Madame Justice Steel would not examine our evidence or order disclosure/voir dire. I am fighting to change said Law and have the trial held in Winnipeg. A Winnipeg trial will certainly expose this injustice and the Winnipeg Police misconduct.


Winnipeg Police Service has since refused to answer any questions in my case. Although nothing further has been done since their wrongdoings of February 1996, their reason has always been, quote 'There an on-going investigation.' unquote. Nothing has been done on this case since their wrongdoings in February 1996.

Ralph Crompton was convicted of 1st degree murder in the death of my husband. His version of events was not only proven unbelievable, but IMPOSSIBLE. He has undertaken numerous appeals and failed. In 2001, he again appealed and finally introduced a new suspect. ('Diablo' was also brought forth in the Winnipeg Free Press exclusive article in 2000. One of Ralph Crompton's friends was also asked to find 'Diablo' days after Crompton's arrest.) This declaration, which inches towards the truth, was never investigated by the Florida authorities or the Winnipeg Police. Needless to say that a new suspect would only complicate matters and question the authenticity of my alleged Winnipeg Police statement and the negligent investigation by both police departments.

Although you were not Chief of Police in 1996, you have been aware of this case. When a citizen of Winnipeg lodges a complaint against a member of the police force, it is your duty to investigate same. My father wrote you a letter in September 2001 detailing some of the discrepancies and wrongful actions of Mr. Schinkel and Sergeant Thiessen. You didn't even bother to respond.

My case, along with other cases, is exposed on injusticebusters.com. This website serves to bring forth instances of injustices and wrongdoings by the authorities. Your officers have had many opportunities to answer for their actions, but have either refused or hidden between the curtains of justice in this extradition case. Their misconduct and lack of professionalism in manifesting evidence has contributed to dire consequences in my case. Remember they are not the victims of malicious prosecution or manufactured cases: they are the perpetrators.

Rest assured that this matter will not disappear. Police wrongdoings are of public concern. The Winnipeg Police Service will be required to answer for their actions. Yours truly,

Monique Turenne

I draw your attention to two inquiries: the David Milgaard inquiry began today. It was most restrained and the commission counsel promised a lot of material (quantity) and not much substance (quality).

For over a year, Mr. Justice Antonin Lamer has been heading a commission of inquiry into wrongful convictions in Nfld. The proceedings stopped because of health problems of the Commissioner. But before it adjourned, a few sparks flew.

Today it is reported that Jerome Kennedy, who was involved with the defence of the three wrongfully convicted men in Nfld. is being disciplined by the Law Society because the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court there complained about remarks Kennedy had made about judges.

The press has responded well, ridiculing this move, as they should. Nonethtless, it cannot help but have an impact. Kennedy complained that some judges were biased. We all know this is true.

We hope that all biases of all judges involved in the Milgaard case will be exposed during the inquiry.

. . .there is no mention of malice.

Joyce and David Milgaard wanted this inquiry to identify those who withheld exculpatory information which could have sprung David much sooner, and to discover exactly how the Saskatchewan Justice system covered up its "errors" for so long.

It doesn't look like those are the questions which are being asked at this inquiry.

Instead we have a ballroom with chandeliers, expensive equipment, well-dressed lawyers, and white table cloths -- with some three rows of plain chairs at the back of the hall for the public to watch educated people treated like school children in a grade four setting.

During the middle of the week, Judge McCallum (he's the little dot in front of the black curtain) says he would considering subpoenaeing David Milgaard himself to come and tell them once again he is innocent.

Many lawyers are being paid for this thing.

James Lockyer is going to come. The justice system will breathe a sigh of relief to have got him off the streets where he does what he does best: help exonerate the wrongly convicted.

Joyce Milgaard's book, A Mother's Story has already investigated most of this.
