Court document: My first psychiatric assessment


The following PDF file is the report of my first psychiatric assessment authored by Dr. Douglas McKibbin as per order of the Provincial Court in Richmond. The first four pages were the original report handwritten by the doctor. The last two pages were my recent transcription. The question marks in brackets donate words that I was not sure about. For those few words that I could not make out, I simply left them blank.




Unlike my later psychiatric assessments and/or examinations, I believe this first one was conducted by an honest doctor who had not been influenced by the federal government. There were, however, many inaccuracies in Dr. McKibbin’s report, as can be expected from a two- hour interview on a complex story that stretched back more than 13 years at that point. Obviously, my posting this document here does not mean that I endorse its every word. As I probably said before, the only thing that I am in complete agreement with is my own writing. Indeed, the reason I am posting this report here at all is because I see it as probably the only major court document that was not maliciously produced. That’s in fact one important reason why I would never give up seeking redress of my nightmare at that “kangaroo court” in New Westminster. I could never let so many of my court records stand uncorrected as they were intended to smear my character and attack my integrity on behalf of the political class.

I believe that, like the rest of my court-ordered in-custody psychiatric assessments and/or examination, I had no benefit of legal counsel before, during or after this one on March 14, 2007. Still, as can be seen from Dr. McKibbin’s report, I was very cooperative with and showed no resistance to his evaluation despite its voluntary nature. Indeed, it was only after I saw other doctors come with a deliberate confrontational attitude and/or carry with them an agenda for the federal government that I became mistrustful of and resistant to these repeated assessments and/or examinations.

I should point out that, although Dr. McKibbin largely cleared me psychiatrically in his assessment, he was still influenced by prior perception coming out of the New Westminster court that “there were apparently concerns about [my] mental health”. Of course, it was due to the ugly truth I was trying to expose, i.e., the cover-up by the federal government of a child abduction and murder crime, that the issue of my mental health came up. (I did not know at the time of my protest that it was the RCMP who perpetrated these hideous crimes against Cecilia Zhang and Tamra Keepness. And as a facts-and-logic guy, I did not think that I had enough evidence on the Tamra Keepness case to include it prominently during my protest.) As I wrote recently, how else are the Canadian political class and the RCMP going to defend the indefensible, i.e., an iconic national police force murdering its own children? They had to either shut me up or certify me under the Mental Health Act.

That was exactly what happened immediately after I started blogging in the summer of 2004.  Warren Kinsella, among others in the C1P, suggested that I was imagining things and therefore, delusional. That's also what happened immediately after my protest on the Pattullo Bridge on October 31, 2005. The Crown Counsel brought up the issue of my mental health in court. The mainstream media, when they reported on my protest at all, also shifted the focus of my story from murder cover-up by the federal government to my mental status. A news report in The Province even stated unequivocally that I suffered from schizophrenia, some two years before these doctors on order of the C1P finally “diagnosed” me with this or a similar illness, i.e., paranoia delusion. Of course, the report had to be vague about the source of that misinformation, although it appeared in the same sentence that contained a quote from the New Westminster police. I would have to have a lawyer to deal with such a blatant and deliberate lie about me on a newspaper.

When the federal government and the RCMP saw that they could not force me to give up my cause, they utilized the court process to force me go through these psychiatric assessments and examinations again and again. In so doing, they achieved two major objectives. One was to eventually get the result they had always wanted with respect to my mental status in order to discredit my cause. The other was to use the process as a form of punishment for my blowing the whistle on them. Indeed, these repeated assessments and/or examinations amounted to unbelievable psychological violence and torture.

Finally, I would note that the two major conclusions by Dr. McKibbin were: (1) that I was not certifiable under the Mental Health Act; and (2) that I was clinically fit to stand trial. Also note that the date of New Westminster court stamp on Dr. McKibbin’s original report was December 31, 2007, my last day in court for sentencing.  In other words, it would appear that the Court or the Crown Counsel in New Westminster has created the public impression that it was only after they had put me through this tortuous legal process that they suddenly “found” this earlier psychiatric report from more than 9 months before.

What a joke.






Update 20140724:

I don’t want anyone get the impression that, just because I think my first psychiatric assessment report, which was ordered by the Provincial Court in Richmond, was not maliciously produced, there was no problem with the Richmond Court. Quite the contrary, these two courts were so tightly coordinated that one might say there was just one process. Indeed, insofar as my court experience got increasingly nightmarish, the kangaroo court in Richmond was much more blunt in its tactics than the one in New Westminster. You can get a glimpse of that from this recent blog post of mine. And I may post other details later.

Court document: "These doctors are lying through their teeth"


The following document is a transcript of my 12-page handwritten note submitted to the court on either December 24 or December 31, 2007.  As with my other document submitted to the court, there was no stamp on it. I would have to do more research to determine the exact date of submission. The page numbers on the right refer to the original ones in my handwritten note.


Court document: The story behind my 13-page letter


The following document is a transcription of my oral submission to the court on December 4, 2007.


Court document: My 13-page letter written in prison


The following 13-page letter was written in prison. I submitted the document to the court in support of my application to stay the proceeding on November 28, 2007. Later, I found out by phoning the court registry that Judge Steinberg had essentially kept the document in his pocket. A clerk at the Registry eventually obtained it from the judge and put it in my court file on December 12, 2007.
