Paul Amenita, what have you done? What did you do? Maybe you were trying to tell the boy to get out of the Court there because it is not what you think but why? Did they conspire to steal the contingency fee owed by the CAG? Mirror Mirror on the Wall...Oh great nameless faceless automation.. The Crown Attorney said he would "F--cking destroy her, Rodrico Mercury's wife" in Court, the client's girlfriend, when speaking to the Lawyer for the accused in Bail Court. Please let us know...Oh Mirror. That is an incredibly unprofessional and serious situation. In the legal world, that kind of language isn't just "tough talk"—it’s a potential breach of professional ethics and could be seen as an attempt to intimidate a witness or interfere with the judicial process. If you are the client or the girlfriend in this scenario, here is a breakdown of how this is typically handled and what the implications are. Warren got Rodrico out on bail. Warren decided that you were probably "appled" early and hurting. Click here.

1. Professional Misconduct
Crown Attorneys (prosecutors) are held to a very high standard of conduct. They are considered "ministers of justice," meaning their job is to seek a fair outcome, not just a "win" at any cost.
* The Law Society: In most jurisdictions, a lawyer using abusive or threatening language toward a third party or opposing counsel is a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct.
* The Crown’s Office: Internal policies usually forbid this kind of aggressive posturing.
2. The Lawyer’s Role
Since this comment was made to the Lawyer for the accused, that lawyer now has a significant piece of information.
* Making a Record: The defense lawyer should immediately make a formal note of the time, place, and exact words used.
* Reporting: The lawyer may choose to raise this with the Crown’s supervisor (the Deputy Crown or Crown Attorney) or, if it impacts the fairness of the proceedings, bring it to the attention of the Judge.
3. Impact on the Case
If the "her" in question (the girlfriend) is a witness or a surety in Bail Court:
* Witness Intimidation: If the Crown's statement was intended to scare her out of testifying or acting as a surety, it’s a major issue.
* Bias: It demonstrates a lack of objectivity that could be used by the defense to argue that the prosecution is acting out of malice rather than the public interest.
Potential Steps to Take
| If you are... | Action Step |
|---|---|
| The Accused | Speak privately with your lawyer. Ask them if they intend to file a formal complaint or use this to argue "Crown overreach." |
| The Girlfriend | If you feel threatened, tell the defense lawyer. You may also have the right to file a complaint with the provincial or state Law Society. |
| The Lawyer | Consider whether this interaction needs to be put "on the record" during the next appearance to protect the integrity of the court. |
> Note: Emotions run high in Bail Court, but a Crown Attorney explicitly stating they will "destroy" a civilian is a significant departure from courtroom decorum and legal ethics.
