Check this out (POSTED JUNE 24, 2008)
The Hunt family and friends remain to believe that young Josh was targeted by this killer. Josh's father sent a letter of complaint to the Edmonton Police Service Internal Affairs department regarding the threats on young Joshua's life back on October 10, 2006. Joshua was murdered 4 days later October 14, 2006. The Police were informed in Ocotber 2006 of the connection of this killer with the thugs that were threatening Josh. These thugs also jumped Josh on Mothers Day 2006 and the Edmonton Police brought Josh home beaten up and told the Hunt family they knew who did this to Josh and they were going to lay charges (which never happened). Today is June 24, 2008 and Internal Affairs still has not contacted the Hunt's with the conclussion of their investigation other than computer generated letters that are sent in the mail every 3 months to the Hunt's stating they are still investigating this matter. To date it has been 20 months. How long does it take to do a seroiuse invesigation like this? After all we are talking about a 16 year old boy who lost his life to murder!!

2nd Annual March For Justice April 12, 2008
On April 12, 2008 the second annual SOS March for Justice was held at Churchill Square Edmonton, Alberta. Again we would like to thank the host and organizers, SOS Children Safety Magazine, which organizied as well as hosted this very important March. "Violent crime affects everyone in Canada" Hunt said. We are here today in hopes that all 3 levels of government across Canada realize that we need much stiffer penalties for violent crimes. Public safety should be our governments top priority over everything else. After all, when you're dead things like the evironment, buildings and oil don't matter. Canadians need to know that our leaders are truly being leaders in all 3 levels of government. If you're going to be a leader then you need to stand up and be a leader. No one in their right mind is going to oppose anyone of our leaders in all 3 levels of our government municiple, provincial and federal when they change laws for public safety. Once Candians see that all 3 levels of government is making public safety a top priority our governments will see clearly that citizens will have the confidence in our governments that is needed. When our federal government passes an animal right bill before it changes things in our justice system like the Youth Criminal Justice Act this is clearly sending the wrong message to all citizens. Please don't get me wrong animals should not be abused and when they are the person or persons that abuses them should be punished by law but when animals rights come before human rights this clearly shows that things are more than wrong. Last year at the first annual SOS Josh Hunt Silent March for Justice we handed in over 44,000 signed petitions to our government through MP Mike Lake. MP Mike Lake on camera stated to the public that his government was going to change the Youth Criminal Justice Act soon which was 13 months ago. To date we have heard nothing from our government but promises. Promises don't save lives. Although doing the right thing and standing up as leaders, making safety a top priority, will.
URGENT Public Safety Isuue Posted March 29 and April 05, 2008
On Friday March 28, 2008 at the arraignement the defence lawyer told the judge that he will be making an application in court on April 04, 2008 at 10:00 am Court of Queens Bench Edmonton to have the section 31 conditions for the killer of Josh Hunt removed or reduced. If this happens this will not only be a huge safety issue for the Hunt family but all citizens in Edmonton. If you are concerned for your families safety and the Hunt's safety please call your local MLA, City Councillors, MP and the justice department. PLEASE PASS THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW FOR THEIR SUPPORT AND HELP!!. Also it is suggested that you show up at this court date to voice your opinion on April 04, 2008 at 10:00 am. This killer hasn't even gone to trial yet and they are already applying to have him completely free to roam.
Trial Date Posted March 29, 2008
The killer of Josh Hunt will be standing trial on November 24, 2008 in the Court of Queens Bench Edmonton. Please feel free to attend everyone is welcome.
City of Edmonton Leads In Gun Shot Deaths
Posted February 21, 2008
Once you click on this link then scoll to page 3 of The Metro Newspaper
Posted February 16, 2008
February 15, 2008 was the last and final day of the Preliminary Hearing. The killer was ordered by the Courts to stand trial for all 3 charges. 2nd degree murder and two assaults with a weapon. The next court date for the arraignement is scheduled for 9:30 am March 28, 2008 on the Court of Queens Bench side Edmonton Law Courts Bdg. Unless the Crown accepts a plea baragian to a lower charge by the defence lawyer or if the Crown decides to lower the charges then this killer will stand trial as charged and like he should. Over the course of the past 16 months the Hunt family and a large group of victims across Canada have done research on plea bargains and the Crown lowering the charges on many murder cases. They have been advised that in a large number of cases there was enough evidence to proceed with the main charge but the Crown still accepted a plea bargain or lowered the charge. WHY? Let see what happens with this case. It would be more than fair to say that if a weapon is invloved in a murder how can the accussed recieve the benefit of a lower charge like Manslaughter. We have been advised that Canadian Law states the test for Mansluaghter is: The accussed must be able to prove that he or she never intended to hurt of kill the victim. How can an accussed meet this test when he or she used a weapon and killed?
February 07, 2008 "Charges Dropped"
On February 07, 2008 the Crown dropped all breached charges on the accused for his alleged breaches on December 25, 2007. Hunt says we were in court for less than 5 minutes when the Chief Crown Prosecutor approached the judge and told him that the Crown was not prepared to continue with the charges. The crown claims that the accussed could not have been seen by the 5 witnesses that night because he spoke with his probation officer over the phone around the same time. The 5 witnesses swear up and down it was him and they have seem him many times in court (so it is appearent they know what he looks like).
Hunt stated that due to technology today I feel it is quite possible that the accused could have had his home phone number called forwared to his cell phone. I sure would like to see the evidence on these calls and we have been informed that probation officers do not work on Christmas day or night unless it is an emergency says Hunt. It is also unfair that the crown acted like Judge, Jury and Crown in this matter wearing all 3 hats. How can this be justice? In order for this to be true justice the crown should of continued with all breach charges and allowed the judge to hear of the evidence so that he or she could make the right disicion for the best interest of the public. After all judges hear evidence all the time and they have or should have enough experience to see and hear inconsistancies in evidence at which point they would make the right disicion.
It has been very frustrating knowing that Josh is dead and this killer then comes by our home on Christmas night. Christmas is already a hard enough time for us not to mention the fact this killer then decides to breach his conditions again and make our family feel unsafe. Whats next? Will he be living 2 blocks from our family home soon as free as a bird just so he can kill another person? So far everything has gone his way and if you have no morals for life and there is no justice system making you accountable and protecting the public then why wouldn't he keep breaching his conditions? Its not like anything going to happen to him as noted time and time again.
It's come to appoint as much as we love our area and home expecially because of the memories of our late son Josh. We are forced to move for safety reasons. Hunt says he will be consulting with his lawyer this coming week to see how they can go about putting a claim against our government for all moving costs including the costs in selling their home. After all we are forced to move for safety reasons because of our justice system and because we are not being protected therefore, it should be a cost that they have to endore. Simply put if they would just do their job in which Canadians are paying them to do we could feel safe and stay in our home.
The next court date is the final day of the Preliminary Hearing which is February 15, 2008 in courtroom 443 at 9:00 am. Hunt says I hope everyone comes out to this court date for support! The more the better!
Come and Show Your Support
Posted: January 27, 2008
The next court date for the killer is February 07,2008 at 9:00 am courtroom 265 Edmonton Law Courts for the breaches of his court conditions which he was charged with on December 25, 2007 (so far he has only been charged with 2 out of the 5 breaches). If you want to see who he is for the safety of your love ones so you know what he looks like please feel free to attend. This court is open to all the public. The next court date after this is the last day of the Preliminary Hearing which is February 15, 2008 at 9:30 am in courtroom 443. Please feel free to attend in support for justice for Joshua. We look forward in seeing you at both court dates.

The killer of Joshua Hunt was arrested on Christmas night for breaching 5 of his section 31 court conditions. It is alleged that the killer showed up very close to the Hunt's residents in a car and was taunting 2 family members plus he was not with his grandfather and he was past his 6:30pm curfew time as stated by all witnesses. The Hunt's have been advised that he is in custody and he will be standing before a judge today (December 27, 2007) in an attempted to be released AGAIN.
UPDATE January 08/08:
It has been reported that this killer stayed in custody at the Edmonton Remand Centre for only approx 30 hours before he was released AGAIN. According to reports it was the assistant cheif judge that released the killer with a no cash bail and just a promise note to appear. HOW CAN THIS BE RIGHT? If you don't agree with this judges disicion then please write a letter to your local MLA and MP as well as, cc it to the People noted below. You can also google these people and find out their e-mail addresses.
-CONT-UPDATED January 14,2008.
We have been informed that the crown still has not proceeded with 3 out of the 5 breaches. We have also been informed if the crowns office does not proceed with all 5 charges then their will be a public inquiry into this matter. The crowns office has until January 25, 2008 to make their disicion. If THE CROWN DOES NOT PROCEED WILL YOU SUPPORT A PUBLIC INQUIRY? If so please let the below noted people know in a form of a letter.

Whats Good For The Goose Should Be Good For The Gander
In response to the Edmonton Sun article on December 15, 2007 located at the link below (Thief gets 10 months for B&E at judge's house). The killer of Josh Hunt has 11 prevoiuse convictions of Break and Enter and didn't do 1 day in jail. But when someone breaks into a judges house they get a least 10 months in jail. Shouldn't there be one law for all? Just think if the killer of Josh Hunt was placed in jail for all his previouse Break and Enters plus other prevoiuse convictions he wouldn't of been out of jail to kill young Josh.
____________________________________________________________
Delay, Delay and Delay
We were informed today at court that the next court date which is the final day of the Preliminary Hearing is scheduled for February 15, 2008 at 9:30 am court room 444 Edmonton Law Courts. Again everyone is welcome to attend. Its hard to believe that some of the victims that were murdered after Josh have already been sentenced and we still haven't got through the Preliminary Hearing stage. Oh what Royal treatment!! After all we are only the victims!!!

November 23, 2007 Joshua's
On November 23, 2007 Joshua Hunt would have turned 18 years old. He was murdered at age 16 and today the killer still has not been brought to justice. He still remains out of jail for his crime of murder. Josh had so many plans for his 18th birthday and so many other future plans. In fact his last conversation with his father Gary Hunt they discussed his 18th birthday plans. The next night Josh was murdered. Please pay 1 minute of silence for Joshua at 4:31 pm on November 23, 2007 and please pray for true justice!!!

The Killer Of Joshua Hunt Preliminary Hearing
On Monday November 26, 2007 at 9:30 am is the next court date for sheduling the final day of the preliminary hearing. Everyone is welcome to attend. Location: Edmonton Law Courts Building court room 444 time: 9:30 am. When speaking with Gary Hunt he is concerned about the judge in this case becuase she is the same judge that recently let the dangerouse driver off that killed the two young teens. Hunt has been informed that she is a new judge that was appointed to the bench in June of this year. Hunt stated that he really doesn't know the facts in the danergouse driving case and wants to believe she is a good judge that will make a good discision for public saftey reasons. Hunt also stated he is concerned that new judges can deal with such seroiuse offences as murder. It seems unfair when these new judges and fairly new crowns have to deal with a defence lawyer that has over 20 years experience in such seroiuse cases such as murder. In other forms of occupation this would be considered an unfair avantage. Hunt says time will tell.

CAN YOU GET YOUR HEAD AROUND THIS?
Is it fair/ethical that a well known criminal defence lawyer has a spouse that is a criminal judge that works in the same couthouse?
How can a lawyer defend someone that he knows is guilty of the crime of murder? Does money mean this much to him? In my opinion these type of people are just as bad as the criminals becuase they do their best to keep these criminals out of jail and risk the publics safety over and over again.

Suspect arrested in pickaxe killing of Calgary teen
CanWest News Service
Published: Monday, October 01, 2007
CALGARY -- Police have arrested a suspect in the killing of a teen at a house party late Saturday night.
Matt McKay, 17, was struck in the head with a pickaxe at a raucous party in the city neighbourhood of Queensland. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner reported Monday that McKay died of a "chop wound to the head."
Marko Miljevic, 19, of Calgary, has been charged with one count of second-degree murder.
The attack occurred after the party's host attempted to clear out the crowd gathered in the garage after unexpected guests showed up.
Horrified teens, some hysterical, gathered outside, hugging each other and sobbing.
Police questioned about 40 high school students over the weekend.
"He doesn't deserve it," said Megan Faloon, 16. "He was the last person I would have expected this to happen to."
It was the second night in a row the home, where two teenage girls live with their mother, had hosted a rowdy party, neighbours said.
Friends said McKay, a Grade 12 student, was still mourning the death from heart failure of his mother, Elizabeth Decaro, six months ago.
On April 16th, McKay's mother was waiting for him on the front lawn of a friend's house while he ran inside to grab his iPod.
"When Matt came out she was lying there," said close friend Brennan Romanovitch, 15. "He was very upset about it for a long time. After a while he realized he had to use it to better his life, he knew what his mom wanted from him."
Though he'd once struggled with school, his mother had helped bring his grades back to honour roll level.
Police haven't released details of the death.
Homicide unit Staff Sgt. Kevin Forsen said detectives spent much of the day Saturday just trying to identify who was at the party.
Miljevic's next court appearance is Friday.

Subject: Your assessment of BC Justice leniency
You have hit the nail on the head. Not only BC judges are too soft on criminals, but so are the rest of Provincial judges across Canada. One reason is the provisions in the Criminal Code and the Youth Criminal Justice Act that do not require punitive sentencing. Very few convicts can be and are rehabilitated, in spite of various studies and reports to the contrary. Certainly, those who re-appear in court on a 'regular' basis --- repeat offenders, belong in this group.
Yesterday, September 26th, the judge in Edmonton's worst ever child abuse case sentenced a man to eight years in prison. He was given double credit for time in jail awaiting his trial, and will be eligible for parole in less than four years. The crown had asked for 12 to 15 years; the defence wanted eight. This sentence is an outrage!
What kind of message does that send to the public? It says whatever crime you do in Canada the courts will give you a free ride! The victim, a four year old girl, is scarred for life, and will never be able to live a normal life. Will the courts award her counselling for the rest of her childhood? Not likely! She is now a ward of the state, and there is no budget for such children.
Parliamentarians must do everything possible to change our criminal laws to punish convicts in more appropriate ways, forcing judges to take into account the damage and harm done to the victims and their families, and to protect the public from such violence.
While I understand, but disagree with, the concept of crediting the convicted for time incarcerated prior to trial, often double and sometimes triple time, the obvious question is: how does the court treat a defendant upon acquittal? Is there some form of court ordered compensation for time incarcerated prior to trial? If not, why not? Is only the guilty to be rewarded? I suppose the acquitted has recourse through the civil courts, if they can afford to pay and can wait the years required to get into the already overworked system.
I would greatly appreciate your response.
Call Me Canadian!

We shall prevail. Regards,Geo
Att.General Wally Oppal in an interview on Global TV news replied to the serious concern of 90% of BC residents re. not locking up criminals for a decent period of time as follows"
" The public has to decide if they want money to go to Health and Education or to building new prisons"
Does the Att.General think that we are still as naive and stupid as we have been?
Not really, the party is over. And unless you take action now it certainly will manifest itself in the next election.The crime issue alone will be the catalyst for change that apparently is required here in BC.
Community Courts work in the US because they have a strong jailing policy if drug addicts and other perpetrators don't stick to their probation conditions (treatment, community work etc.).
It will not work here based on the track record you have.
Pandering to criminals, questionable common sense of the judiciary especially the current Chief Justice and the Attorney General who chose not to appeal lenient sentences and ignore the plight of thousands who are affected by the criminals they don't incarcerate.
It should not be a choice between health,education or prisons.
Our basic right as citizens and taxpayers is to have all of the above in place. These are not luxuries, these are the most basic rights of a citizen in civilized society.

I hope everyone took note of the lead story on Global News today; an IPSOS REID poll commissioned by Global had some not so surprising results to many of us.
A full 90% of Canadians polled stated that they had no faith or confidence in our current Judicial System. Only 7% had confidence in Canadian judges. The police generally got an approval rating, with 69% of those polled in favour. These numbers speak to the true feelings of the general public, and unlike STATS Canada numbers have not been "politically filtered".
The follow up story illustrated clearly that the judicial leniency shown to offenders by BC judges is counterproductive. Xiao Zhang, paroled recently after serving 4 months of an 11 month sentence for running down a tourist (then fleeing custody), was arrested yet again on new charges. Was this not the fellow who stated at his parole hearing that he would make sure not to re-offend, since he "didn't like jail'? Come on people, how many of these cases does it take?
I believe that its time we, as decent, law abiding Canadian citizens consider that these Judges were appointed by the current Liberal and former NDP governments. Here's a rhetorical question; What does it take for a vote of no confidence in our Provincial Legislature?
Please feel free to reply.

BACK TO SCHOOL
I stood in Josh's bedroom this morning looking at his hockey trophies and stuff remembering the great kid he was. Today would have been Josh's first day of grade 12. I can remember taking Josh to his first day of school with his Mom. We were always so proud of him. He always had that big booming smile that lit up any room even on his first day of school.
Josh was looking forward in completing grade 12 with many of his friends. Over the summer a lot of his friends came by for a visit and it was truly nice to see them again. So many of them have grown as they all do over the summer period. The only thing that has grown in our lives is the grass over Josh's grave and the FACT we don't have him here any longer. We miss you Josh! and we can't wait to be reunited with you again. Love! Dad!!
August 27, 2007
WHY HAVEN'T THEY DONE ANYTHING?
In November 2006 the killer was released under a section 31 application (which means he has many conditions to abide by and his grandfather agreed to be his personal jailer).
Back in January of this year a PI company videotaped the grandfather of the killer leaving the killer at home while the grandfather (his personal jailer) went to the Londonderry Hall for a retirement function for a retired police officer on a Friday and Saturday, as well as, playing slots at a northside casino. According to the courts imposed section 31 conditions on this killer one of his many conditions namely number 6 states that the killer must be in the custody of his personal jailer (grandfather) at all times, excluding work. The PI company reported this to the police as well as provided them with a copy of the video tape and written report.
The Police and Crown stated that they would not lay charges becuase the conditions, namely number 6, was vague. The Crown then set a court date in February to have the section 31 conditions clarified by the judge again. The judge was frustrated because he could not believe that both the defence council and the Crown Prosecutor did not know what 'in the custody of' meant.
After this court date the Police and Crown stated they would not lay charges because the condition was vague and they did not want to look like they were picking on him (the Killer). Perhaps they should stand at the foot of Joshua's grave and explain how they would be picking on the killer for taking Joshua's life through murder!!
Finally in June of this year the family was informed that it is their charter of rights in Canada to have a copy of these conditions (previously the authorities told the family that they were not permitted to have a copy of the section 31 conditions). An application was provided before the courts and in July they were granted a copy of this killers section 31 conditions. When reviewing these conditions it was quickly discovered that the conditions namely #6 was very clear and was not vague. In July the family then contacted the authorities again (to explain to them they had a copy of the section 31 conditions and they were not vague). At this point the authorities then told them that they might not be able to lay charges because it was almost past the 6 month period but they would check into it.
On August 21, 2007 the Chief Crown Prosecutor sent a letter stating that the conditions were vague when they were imposed back in November, 2006 but were amended during court in February, 2007. According to law the word amended means: correct, change. After consulting with their lawyer the family responsed back to the Cheif Crown Prosecutor this past week to explain to him that the section 31 conditions are the same today as they were back in November 2006 (AS NOTED ON THE COURT DOCUMENTS) that infact there was never any changes. The only change was the date which the courts crossed out November 2006 and wrote in February 2007 with one intial. There were no other changes and no other initials to any of the conditions. Therfore, it is the families finding that this killer was in breach of his conditions back in January namely, number #6, and should of and should be charged under the criminal code of Canada for condition breach for the safety of all citizens.
____________________________________________________________
NOW IS IT POSSIBLE HE HAS BREACHED OTHER CONDITIONS AS WELL?
The organization and family are now waiting for the Chief Crown Prosucutors reply. Here is the big question: why does this killer keep getting away with his crimes? In his past he has 11 break and enters, 1 robbery offence, 1 weapon offence and now a second degree murder charge for the murder of Josh Hunt and two assults with a weapon on two other people the same night. He is currently out of jail and it is our understanding that this killer for all his crimes has never been in jail other than the 31 days after killing Josh Hunt awaiting his bail hearing which, bail was refused by the judge but the judge then released him anyways under a curve ball named section 31.
There are people out there that think this killer has been getting away with his crimes becuase his grandfather is a retired police officer and could have something over the police or justice system! IS THIS TRUE? Maybe this explains why the grandfather can get away with dumping or pushing the crown prosecutor in the court house, accusting the mother of the victim and speaking out in court infront of the judge without anything and we mean anything happening to him!!!!!

Oh CanaDA
Oh Ye! Canada is a FREE country You are FREE to kill and commit any crime at the cost of others. Has Canada become the haven for criminals?
Some citizens asked the following question: EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT AND THERE IS NO JUSTICE OR THE TIME DOESN'T FIT THE CRIME AND CRIMINALS ARE LET BACK OUT ON THE STREETS (like some are right now) BECAUSE OF A LAME DEFENCE LAWYERS EXCUSE WHICH OUR JUDGES ACCEPT what are you going to do about it" "Are the judges in Canada unaccountable for putting the safety of citizens at risk?
____________________________________________________________
The Edmonton Journal Reported on page A5 on August 20, 2007.
The United States has been refusing a large number of Canadians with criminal records entrance into their country when they have tried to cross the border. Gee does the United States know that some adults from Canada that cross the border could of had violent youth criminal records? It is our understanding that a Youth Criminal Record is wiped out when you turn 18 in Canada! So how could the United States know? It is apparent due to the way our judges and justice system do things our country is truly unsafe! but is it fair that they also put other countries at risk not allowing them to know for their citizens safety?
___________________________________________________________
Is it an even match between Defence lawyers vs Crown Prosecutors in Canada?
The old saying is you get what you pay for! Well if thats true then it wouldn't be an even match for us citizens because according to stats a Crown Prosucutor makes in one year what a defence lawyer could make in one murder case. Even if the killer has no money he can hire a top notch defence lawyer that specializes in murder cases (knowing the killer is guilty and making excuses to get him or her off or a lower sentence "this should be a crime in itself" especially when our judges seem to buy these lame excuses or is it that most of our judges use to be defence lawyers themself? All this at the cost of the taxpayers through legal aid. The tax payers front the money and the criminal pays it back over a very long period of time. So at the end of the day how can this be fair for this be fair? why should the citizens of our country allow our governments to front the money to these defence lawyers at our cost. If these criminals do the crime they need to do the time as well as, pay for their conduct the hard way. This in itself would clean up the crime in our country for the safety of all. It truly is an easy fix but we wonder why they don't fix it. WHY?

IMPORTANT SAFTEY NEWS
The Edmonton Sun Reported in their newspaper on page 7 on July 30, 2007 that our Alberta Sheriffs have a team of Bounty Hunters that are specializing in arresting people who are at large on outstanding warrents. They reported in Alberta there are currently 165,000 people out on our streets that have outstanding warrants for their arrests. Out of this 165,000 people 8,000 are for violent offences. There are 11 Bounty Hunters which means just to arrest the violent crime warrants they would have to arrest 2 to 3 people each, per day, 7 days per week, for one full year, to get these violent criminals off our streets. BASED ON THESE NUMBERS THIS COULD AND WOULD MOST LIKELY BE IMPOSSIBLE! Here is the big question: NOW DO YOU REALLY FEEL SAFE?
