Cast: Andrew Garfield, Adam Driver, Liam Neeson, Ciaran Hinds, Tadanobu Asano
Director: Martin Scorsese
Rating: Two stars
There are some films whose intention is so noble that they overpower the entire thing: the plot, the performance, and everything in between. 'Silence' is one of those.
Based on a 60s novel which tells the tale two 17th century Portuguese Jesuit priests (Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver) who go to Japan in search of their missing mentor. When they reach, they find a place roiled by violence, and as they set out to do the bidding of their faith and heart, they encounter private and public demons.
It is a gorgeous looking film, and Liam Neeson turns in a harrowing performance, which talks to Martin Scorsese's long-standing involvement, visible even in his most populist works, in exploring the fragile connections between piety and doubt.
More from the world of Entertainment:
Its opening scene is magnificent, sheets of water falling from a height, craggy cliffs and mist. But we have no time to savour nature's glories because our attention is turned towards man's beastliness: naked believers, tied to makeshift stakes, are being tortured, and the missing priest is forced to see this, till he can't bear it any more and turns his back on his God. Or does he?
The rest of the film tracks Garfield and Driver communicating with the inhabitants of a village, trying to spread the gospel, while, of course, keeping the search on. Most of it appears clunky, with Driver being just a tad more convincing that Garfield, but both come off stilted.
But except for the odd moment or two, it left me curiously unmoved, coming off more as an inert, far too-long (2 hours 40), repetitive costume drama. Clearly, intention does not always make for a persuasive film.

Toronto doubles up Orioles 4-2
Baltimore falls to 95-65 on season
Rookie Dalton Pompey had three extra-base hits, Drew Hutchison won for the first time in three starts and the Toronto Blue Jays beat Baltimore 4-2 Friday night, ensuring that the Orioles will not finish with the best record in the American League.
The Orioles came in three games behind the Los Angeles Angels, who will have home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
Baltimore right-hander Chris Tillman lost for the first time in 16 road starts, preventing him from becoming the first pitcher since Daisuke Matsuzaka in 2008 to complete a season without losing away from home.
Tillman (13-6) came in 8-0 with a 4.19 ERA in his 15 previous road starts.

ANTIPOLO CITY, Rizal, Jan. 8 (PIA) — The Jalajala municipal government is conducting seminars on remedies for common ailments and herbal medicine for barangay health workers and mothers in all barangays.
It started at Brgy. Paalaman last January 5 and will continue to all barangays of the municipality.
Jalajala Rizal Information Officer Rolando Pilias said the local government has tied up with National Institute of Health Institute of Herbal Medicine Director in the University of the Philippines – Manila Dr. Isidro Sia to help educate locals and health workers of the treatment for common sicknesses such as cough, fever and diarrhea.
The seminars also focus on the importance of herbal medicine due to its affordability as accessibility in the province most especially for the far flung barangays which do not have easy access to local doctors or drugstores.
"The seminars encourage locals to make use of herbal medicine and if possible plant them in their back yards," Pilias said. (CPG/GG-PIA4A)

2 Chronicles 10:17 (KJV)
But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
Each of the tribes of Israel had a piece of the Promised Land apportioned to them. It was theirs and they had a right to dwell on it. But they were not obligated to do so and some of them had elected to live in Judah instead.
Israel as a whole had never been overly friendly with David as their King. They had been loyal to Saul and even when God gave the kingdom to David, they only followed grudgingly. Sentiments were ripe for division as soon as there was opportunity to do so.
But there were people among the tribes of Israel for which this wasn't true. Those who dwelt in Judah had made their habitation closer to the God ordained authority and were thus not affected by the rebellion.
This reminds me of the circumstances for a backsliding heart. There dwells in every one of us the potential for backsliding and rebellion against the Lord. The sin nature is never so mortified that, given the right circumstances, we might turn back into the world. There is only one way to insure we are less likely to follow those who lead in a turning from Christ. That is to dwell closely with Him.
No truly saved person can ever lose their salvation any more than Israel's rebellion made them no longer Jews. But by walking near to the Lord we are more than saved, we are faithful unto the end.

We love reconciliation stories. Marriages are for better for worse after all. And this is why it's delightful to see Tiwa Savage and formerly estranged hubby, Tunji Balogun a.k.a TeeBillz make a public appearance for the first time since their public meltdown.
You will recall that the TeeBillz attempted suicide earlier this year after going on an Instagram rant, accusing Tiwa Savage of infidelity and other heinous acts .
Tiwa Savage in turn gave an explosive interview in which she accused him of drug addiction and theft.
The couple was spotted at Stephanie Coker's traditional wedding yesterday.
They look amazing! And we are hoping this means they are back together ????

- Establish where our funds can have the greatest impact
- Identify impact risks and opportunities pre-investment
- Develop tools to measure and optimise impact during an investment
- Capture the lessons learned for future investments
External client consulting
Bridges Impact+ provides advisory services to a select group of external clients, ranging from investors to governments to charities to corporates. We aim to provide rigorous but practical recommendations that will make a real difference to these organisations – all rooted in Bridges' 15 years' experience of the realities of investing for impact.

The Project is entering it's second phase which will focus more on implementation. Find out more at the link below.Learn More

On the media circus that followed:
"All this terrible stuff they say to you, it breaks you down. [But] once you're back on your feet - Cheap Rolex Watches if you ever make it back on your feet - that's the ultimate achievement."
On the day she finally Fake Rolex Daytona For Sale realized that she was over Brown and was ready to move on with her life:
"I remember I was in New York at the Trump Hotel and I woke up and I just knew I was over it. It was a different day. I felt different. I didn't feel lonely. I felt like I wanted to get up and be in the world. That was a great, great feeling."
On being happy again (mainly thanks to Matt Kemp):
"I feel like I smile for real this time. The smiles come from inside, and it exudes in everything I do. People feel my energy is different. When I smile they can tell that it's pure bliss and not just a cover up," Rihanna says

Simply delicious is the only way to describe the exhibition of Maison Martin Margiela at Somerset House here in London. If you haven't been yet, its open tonight until 8.00pm so there really is no excuse. This is simply the must see show to see this Summer. The emotional response to this exhibition I can only liken to the Viktor and Rolf exhibition at the Barbican a couple of years ago - extraordinary, cleansing, inspiring, and where we need to be. This exhibition "pays tribute to 20 years [of Margiela] and salutes one of the world's most influential fashion houses". Even from the entrance along the embankment, trees are wrapped in White fabric, a caravan complete with plasma screen showing excerpts from Maison Martin's show play on a loop and images of work are fly posted on the entrance. I could hardly drag myself to leave this exhibition and I am certainly going to make another visit. Simply the hottest thing in London right now, if only life was like this every day. I wont give too much away, just go and see it. I am in awe.

This weekly bookish link up is hosted by Broke and Bookish.
Yesterday, I completed my 2014 Goodreads Challenge, which was set to 40 books and I'm proud of myself for achieving this goal. Now is the perfect time to do my yearly round-up of the best books I read this year:
1. Just One Day by Gayle Foreman - Allison's life journey is almost the same as mine, which is why I love this book so much. Her decision to agree with Willem's offer to go on an adventure transformed her life for the better and it made me realize the importance of taking risks in life now matter how scary it looks. There are so many nuggets of wisdom that you can find in this book and I'm truly grateful to Gayle for writing such a fantastic book!
2. Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas - I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it kept me up reading until midnight for two days in a row just to finish it.
3. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins - This is my favorite among the series and possibly one of my all time favorite novels. Perkins is now an auto read for me, I just love her writing style!
4. The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare - One of the MOST unputdownable books I read this year which is why it is so hard to pick a favorite in this series, so naturally I had to include all three of them. I much prefer the storyline and characters of this over the Mortal Instruments. I feel like it has more depth and exciting parts in the story and it has WILL HERONDALE.
5. The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera - I'm really glad I reread it this year cause there were so many parts that made sense to me when I did. It was that deep.
6. Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse - I read this when I found out that it is Leighton Meester's favorite novel. It tells about a man's journey to self-discovery, spiritual enlightenment and the meaning of life. It's filled with incredible writing, and it is one of those books that I recommend everyone to read at least once.
7. Me Before You by Jojo Moyes - I just found out that this is going to be adapted into film soon. AWESOME.
8. Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin - I'm reading the ASOIAF series, one book per year cause I think it'll make waiting for the 6th and 7th installation much bearable. Obviously, this is included and I can't wait to read the 3rd book next year.
9. South of the Border, West of the Sun by Haruki Murakami - I read this at the beginning of this year and it's responsible for breaking my reading slump. This book is so amazing, I'm definitely going to read more of Murakami's works next year.
10. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn - It's impossible to start this without finishing immediately. It's just SO addicting! It made me wanna read her other novels too(I heard they are equally good!) and I'm now a fan of psychological thriller novels because of this!
What about you? What are the best books you've read this year? Come and join the link-up!

Aux Captifs, la Libération
Tuesday 19 August 2014
The work of the association "Aux Captifs, la Libération" is to create a bond of trust with the people in prostitution, including those victims of trafficking, and this in synergy and coordination with various associations already involved with this public.
The association also wants to relay a faithful testimony of the look that people in a situation of prostitution themselves have on their prostitution activity; its goal is to develop a networking to help raise awareness of prostitutes on their "trafficking situation."
The principle developed by the association "Aux Captifs, la Libération" is firstly that prostitution is a suffering that leaves no one unscathed, on the other hand that people in prostitution situation must be able to grow independently and make free choices. The purpose can be a way to get out of trafficking and prostitution. But if the person is not aware of this possibility or if it is a personal choice, the association "Aux Captifs, la Libération" continues to accompany the person. The central focus of this work is to give support to victims and to ensure the freedom of their choices.

I am a 24-going-25 year old designer slash artist, going by my moniker, Qimmyshimmy. I graduated from the School of Art, Design and Media, NTU, majoring in Visual Communications in 2014. I am born, bred and based in Singapore, and vow to always call this little sunny island my home.
My aesthetic sensibilities have been shaped by my love for fantasy stories, old curiosities, time-travel and my yearning for worlds natural and imagined.
A designer by day and an artist by nightfall, I fuel my two passions with caffeine and even bigger dreams. I spend my days lusting over beautiful typography and obsessing over editorial, UX/UI, info-visualisation and branding projects. I shuffle between the roles of art director and graphic designer, working with agencies, young brands/start-ups, as well as collaborate with friends with cool ideas.
Write me an email, I will love to hear about yours.

WASHINGTON D.C. — It seems Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia is no stranger to controversy when it comes to backing up his opinions on several issues. On Monday speaking in Princeton, NJ he defended his opinion discussed in legal writings he wrote where he equated homosexuality to bestiality and murder on the principle of moral values. He also believes everything should be up to the citizens and popular opinion, and that the constitution is flexible to fit the fancy of the current populace. So basically, he sees the constitution not as a document of law, but rather as a jumping off point to skew to the whim of popular opinion (or his opinion) at any given time, albeit at the same time he says the constitution isn't a living document.
Tuesday morning at a breakfast with Tea Party House members he was overheard by a staffer saying:
"Let me tell you that you should never be afraid to vote based on your personal opinion, even if it goes against the Constitution. Never be afraid to go with your gut. I've had to make decisions on cases that would've devastated me financially if I upheld the Constitution and I couldn't let that happen. I even look at the gross homosexual cases and think, how can I let my moral compass allow these folks to have the same rights as everyone else? I couldn't live with myself if I knew it was my decision to uphold the law to allow that. You need to know that I'm proud to be a douchebag because it's being a douchebag that keeps my pockets lined with the finest corporate dollars a man could ever ask for. All that could be yours too if you just ignore the law and go with your gut…. and don't worry, I'll have your back."
The staffer quickly phoned Free Wood Post with the scoop but made us promise not to reveal their name so they wouldn't lose their job.
Justice Scalia seems to be imperious in his role as one of the highest holders of the law in the nation. One would hope he would soon recognize his role as a supposed righteous upholder of the law, instead of one who bends the law to his fancy.

Riverview Lodge is located in the heartland of some of these large trophy Brown Trout. If you will allow, we boast to have guided clients to some of the largest Brown Trout in New Zealand. Nowadays fish average 5-6 pounds but every season still some 10+ pound fish are caught – every anglers dream of a lifetime.
New Zealand Fly fishing guides have the reputation of providing unparalleled fly fishing adventures. At Riverview Lodge we combine that with luxury and comfortable fishing lodge accommodation. Non anglers are welcome to accompany their partners, either on the river or in the Alpine Village of Hanmer Springs, which offers many other activities to ensure they also have a wonderful holiday/vacation. (Refer to our Activities page).
Guided fly fishing for large, wild Brown Trout is done on a daily basis in a variety of locations. Travelling by vehicle or helicopter, ensures an exciting day in beautiful remote scenery, and with every opportunity to outwit the smart New Zealand Brown Trout and to capture it on camera. Riverview Lodge adheres to the Catch and Release principal.
Our fly fishing guides are experienced and professional. All have a lifetime of knowledge, and are enthusiastic and passionate about the environment and conservation of our wonderful, wild brown trout. With the expertise of your guide's knowledge, the aid of Polaroid glasses, and then your presentation of a selected dry fly, or nymph, fishing is both exhilarating and testing.
Brown trout are predatory fish. In slow-moving pools, they cruise looking for food. In flowing water they tend to face upstream, feeding on drifting aquatic insects. Often our mountain waters are crystal clear and so one of the main challenges is for your guide to see the brown trout before it sees him or you. Brown trout immediately seek cover if they see movement on the riverbank. Your guide goes ahead of you, finds the fish, then points it out to you. With additional aid of his experience and knowledge in deciding how to cast to this particular fish, the fun and challenge is for you to outsmart it with your fly or nymph. Strike! - Hey bingo!

YAKIMA -- A Pasco man was sentenced to three months in jail for a crash on Interstate 82 near Grandview that injured a female passenger.
Jose Antonio Gomez, 24, may serve his time on home detention if eligible, under the terms of his plea in Yakima County Superior Court to a felony charge of vehicular assault.
State troopers said Gomez appeared to be intoxicated following a Jan. 6 crash near Milepost 72. A 21-year-old passenger suffered a severe head laceration and broken vertebrae.
According to the terms of Wednesday's deal, Gomez's guilty plea to vehicular assault was not for being intoxicated but a lesser form called "disregard for the safety of others."
Prosecutors also dropped a drug charge that stemmed from the discovery of suspicious powder-filled baggies in Gomez's wrecked Chevrolet Corvette.
Explained deputy prosecutor Sam Chen: "Crime lab couldn't tell what the substance was, strange as it sounds."

I hadn't heard much about wogi and their gift card service until very recently. I have to say that I immediately liked the idea for my friends and family and this is especially true for those friends and/or family that live far away. It also holds true when I'm really stumped for a gift for one of my friends with a baby or toddler. Wogi is a bit of a rarity in this market as it's such a well laid-out website. In turn, this makes it very easy to buy gift cards from multiple stores.
Now, being that we're a blog for parents of toddlers this review will focus on the Mother and Child section of Wogi's website. For those of you that have other types of people to focus on, there are many sections, including Apparel, Health & Beauty, Restaurants, Outdoors, and much more!
I'm going to assume for the moment that you can make your way over to www.wogi.sg and get over to the categories section. From there you can select the Mother & Child category and you'll instantly see all of the different vendors you can purchase a gift card from. You're also able to filter the list of vendors available by selecting who you're purchasing for, the occasion (ie. Christmas, etc.), price, and whether or not you want the receiver to purchase in store or online.
Once you've narrowed down the results to your liking, you can go ahead and pick from one of their Wogi's great partner stores. From there you just go ahead and start the purchase process, which is simple and easy. If there's anything within this process that I can say is important, it's that you check the Redeem Instructions and Terms & FAQs under the store you're looking to purchase from. I did find one that specifically stated stores only in Singapore, so you'd really want to pay attention to that if you didn't live there!
Some of my favorites in the Mother & Child category were Right Brain Babies, Pupsik Studio, and Lamkins. All of those had solid online stores and were capable of sending packages anywhere in the world. Pupsik carried my favorite Aden and Anais Bamboo Swaddling blankets that my little toddler still runs around with at the ripe old age of 3. He truly loves them and if I can send that same kind of gift to my friends and family with a gift card from Wogi, why wouldn't I do that? I also will save the shipping personally if I just send an online gift card, so there's that.
All in all, I'd say that this is a great idea for gifts. The purchasing process is easy and the prices in the stores seem reasonable. Remember, a gift card makes sure everybody gets just what they want and if you remember to check the Terms and Conditions of each store before you purchase, you simply can't go wrong with Wogi.
Till next time,

Letter: 'Tar sands oil smells like death'
"… A reporter asked me what tar sands smell like, and it smells like death. And that's what it is …"
– Emma Lockridge
I went to Detroit because Marathon Oil is a third owner of a proposed Sandpiper pipeline that would cross our reservation and the watershed of our largest wild rice bed. I wanted to see where the oil was to go and to understand "need." This "need" I refer to has to do with the Minnesota PUC June 5 approval of a "certificate of need" for the Enbridge Sandpiper, to serve Marathon Oil as the largest client of the pipeline. Marathon is also an owner, and the public was not allowed to know if there were any more contracts to be fulfilled by the pipeline, the Enbridge/Marathon pipeline. That's a trade secret. So I decided to go see where the oil that the big companies want to cross my rice beds, would go.
And, I decided to see who Marathon was. That is where I met Emma Lockridge.
Most polluted
The Marathon oil refinery is in Boynton, Mich., ZIP code 48217, Michigan's most polluted ZIP code. Emma's a woman about my age, retired from administrative work. Her daughter just graduated from Harvard Business School and is working in South Africa. Emma lives in the house she was raised in, right in the shadow of the Marathon refinery.
My son and I first heard Emma speak in a Detroit church basement, where local residents had gathered to talk about challenges in their communities, including, no water, a bankrupt city, fossil fuel pipelines and refineries. I sat and listened. Emma stands up.
" … We have a tar sands refinery in our community and it is just horrific. We are a sick community. We have tried to get them to buy us out. They keep poisoning us. And we cannot get them to buy our houses." Emma is holding a sign that says: "Marathon Buy my House." "I have had kidney failure. A neighbor died on dialysis," she tells me. "Neighbor next door has dialysis. Neighbor across the street has kidney failure. The chemicals in pipelines are in our water and will be the same chemicals that come through your land and can break and contaminate. We have cancer, we have auto-immune illnesses, we have MS, we have chemicals that have come up into our homes through the sewer. Those are from the companies; they end up in the public water and sewer system. They are poisoning us," she says, pointing to Marathon.
"In 2011, when Marathon had almost completed its upgrade to process more tar sands oil, it did buy out over 275 homes in Oakwood Heights, another neighborhood on the company fence line, to create a green buffer zone. Marathon … moved people from Oakwood Heights, and left us at the refinery. The people who they bought out were primarily white. The black people are left to die. We want them to buy out our houses, so we can live."
Michigan maintains that each industrial plant emits no more of the chemicals and soot particles than allowed in their self-reporting monitoring. And that there is far less pollution there now than there was decades ago, before many plants installed modern pollution controls. That's possible, but the cumulative impact is not assessed.
Accidental discharge
Studies are not complete, but it's hard to get a study done. "We have asked the EPA for air monitors for five years," Emma tells me. "We finally got one air monitor." As we are standing there watching, a low-flying helicopter comes over the neighborhood. The next day, a group of men wearing EPA vests comes and looks at sewers. "It was an accidental discharge, they told us." That would be a discharge into a public sewer system by the Marathon refinery.
I ask Emma to come to the White Earth and Mille Lacs reservations for formal hearings sponsored by the tribal government on the Enbridge lines. Those were held on June 4 and 5. When I get her to northern Minnesota, she says to me, "I can breathe now. I can really breathe. You don't know what it's like, to not be able to breathe."
At the tribal hearings, a smartly dressed black woman goes to the front of the hearing to testify. She is far from home but acknowledges that her life is now linked to the Anishinaabe people, through a pipeline, a permit, and a company or two: Enbridge and Marathon.
"… When you step outside now, it feels as if you strike a match the air will explode. The chemicals come into our homes, come into our basements and we smell it all the time. Don't let them put that pipeline here. I mean, it has always been bad, but not this bad," says Emma Lockridge. "The air is just unbearable. It's like living inside a refinery."
New hearings on another 760,000 barrels of oil to cross Minnesota through Emma's neighborhood begin in mid-August. This is what need looks like.
LaDuke is executive director, Honor the Earth, and an Ojibwe writer and economist on Minnesota's White Earth reservation.

Greek police fired teargas and battled masked demonstrators as they attacked the finance ministry on Wednesday after lawmakers passed the first of two austerity bills demanded by international lenders.
Smoke from flash bombs and teargas projectiles thrown by police to drive back the crowd filled the square outside parliament. One group of protesters attacked the nearby finance ministry on Syntagma Square, setting fire to a post office on the ground floor of the building.
Another group tried to set fire to an office block housing a branch of one of Greece's biggest banks while across the square, the luxury King George Hotel was evacuated.
Inside parliament MPs voted by 155 to 138 to pass a framework bill on a bitterly contested package of tax hikes, spending targets and privatisations agreed as part of an EU/IMF bailout. The result cleared the way for a second vote to pass a separate bill enabling individual budget measures and the creation of a privatisation agency. Five MPs abstained and two were absent.

The Poetry in Motion Oldies Music Lyrics was written by Mike Anthony & Paul Kaufman and brings back special memories of this Johnny Tillotson #2 song from 1960.
When the song was released in 1960 I had just turned sixteen and my girlfriend's mother, while driving us to school, would smile when this song came on the radio.
I believe she viewed "Poetry in Motion" simply as a cute and funny song.
Another song she seemed to enjoy just as much was "Pink Shoe Laces" another one of those "Too Cute" songs I have on this site.
It seems as though she enjoyed the music as much as we did as teens. Of course, the song was among the many feel good tunes played on the radio in those memory-filled days.
I will always be grateful for the kind way her mother treated me and my friends during those teen years. My mother in turn was always respectful toward my friends when they came over to our house to listen to music and hang out.
She enjoyed listening to our music and I'm sure she was entertained just watching us make fools out of ourselves.
Life was a bit more on the relaxed side during those magical fifties and early sixties. This song is just another great memory of those wonderful times I shared with my friends.
Girl watching has long been a popular American pastime. Millions of men spend parts of their lunch hour watching the pleasurable form of a woman walking by, sharing memories of their own special girl, or just thinking of the gal they'll be meeting when the workday is done.
Songwriters Paul Kaufman and Mike Anthony looked up from their work one day and saw a parade of young ladies passing by their window.
One of them remarked, now that's "Poetry in Motion", and together wrote a song that would send Johnny Tillotson to fame and fortune.
Recorded in Nashville in 1960 with Boots Randolph on sax and Floyd Cramer on piano, "Poetry In Motion" became Johnny's first hit peaking at #2 during the fall of that year and going to #1 in the UK the following January.
Enjoy this Poetry In Motion Oldies Music Lyrics fun song by Johnny Tillotson and remember...
It's the dancing girls who get the man of the house out of the house and into a nightclub. For everyone there's a woman of some size or shape who gives life further meaning...whether she be mother, sweetheart or anticipated conquest.
And if you never underestimate the power of a woman, you're bound to have a rewarding, enduring relationship:)
Poetry in Motion Oldies Music Lyrics
Written by Mike Anthony & Paul Kaufman
Recorded by Johnny Tillotson - 1960
When I see my baby
What do I see...Poetry
Poetry in motion
Poetry in motion
Walkin' by my side
Her lovely locomotion
Keeps my eyes open wide
Poetry in motion
See her gentle sway
A wave out on the ocean
Could never move that way
I love every movement
And there's nothing I would change
She doesn't need improvement
She's much too nice to rearrange
Poetry in motion
Dancing close to me
A flower of devotion
A swaying gracefully
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Poetry in motion
See her gentle sway
A wave out on the ocean
Could never move that way
I love every movement
There's nothing I would change
She doesn't need improvement
She's much too nice to rearrange
Poetry in motion
All that I adore
No number-nine love potion
Could make me love her more
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Johnny's Classic version of an old Hank Williams tune.

Inquest into Michael MacIsaac's shooting death focuses on conflicting accounts
Witness testifies that police moved MacIsaac after he had been shot
Testimony at an ongoing coroner's inquest into the death of Michael MacIsaac focused Tuesday on conflicting accounts from officers and eyewitnesses as to what transpired before and after the 47-year-old was shot by police.
First, there's the metal table leg that police said MacIsaac was wielding as a weapon as he ran naked in the street, when Durham police Const. Brian Taylor fired the two bullets that killed him.
Taylor shot MacIsaac some 12 seconds after arriving at the scene on Dec. 2, 2013. MacIsaac, his family says, was in the midst of an epilepsy-related mental heatlh crisis that led him to behave oddly and erratically.
The 94-centimetre, 0.45-kilogram piece of curved hollow metal has become a critical piece of evidence in the case. Investigators found it near the pool of blood, in the middle of a suburban Ajax street, that marked where MacIsaac allegedly fell to the ground and stopped moving on that chilly morning.
- Officer who shot and killed MacIsaac to testify at inquest
- WATCH | Hold Your Fire
- 40 per cent of civilians killed by police are in mental crisis
One eyewitness to the shooting says she did not notice anything in MacIsaac's hand when police opened fire on him. Further, a clerical error by a Special Investigations Unit (SIU) forensic scientist led to the leg being thrown out prematurely.
Secondly, another witness said she saw police move MacIsaac, who was still alive, after the shots were fired. That raises the prospect, according to the family's lawyer, Roy Wellington, that the officer was not truthful about the distance between himself and MacIsaac when he discharged his weapon.
The metal leg
SIU investigator Curtis Napholc testified that he was unable to secure any fingerprints from the table leg, and no DNA testing was done before it was mistakenly "disposed of."
It was part of a patio table that MacIsaac is said to have broken on the front door of a neighbourhood home before police arrived at the scene. The other three legs, along with the table top, were found on the doorstep of that house.
The inquest heard opposing accounts from witnesses about the piece of metal. Rodena Johnston was driving her daughter to school when they came across MacIsaac running naked on the road. She witnessed the shots when they were fired.
"I didn't see anything in his hands," she told the inquest, admitting however that the incident was so traumatic for her that she would end up spending five days in hospital with acute PTSD.
"It was so quick — bang, bang," she continued. "I just saw him, heard the bang, bang, and he disappeared. Police moved towards him, and then I couldn't see."
Johnston added that, because her window was open, she was able to hear a male police officer tell a colleague that he needed to change his boots because they had blood on them.
"They went right to the cruiser and got in," she said.
Part of Johnston's account, however, was contradicted by that of Kristen Bennett, another eyewitness.
Bennett was on her way to work in Ajax when she saw MacIsaac running through the neighbourhood. She had a blanket in her back seat and wanted to help him, she said.
She continued that MacIsaac was holding the table leg like a baseball bat when police shot him and that she saw police take the piece of metal from his hands while MacIsaac was on the ground.
The SIU forensic scientist, Napholc, testified that it would have been impossible to tell from a distance that the metal leg was relatively light and hollow.
The blood evidence
Napholc also testified that he only found blood in one place: the large stain on the road. The family's lawyer told CBC Toronto that he believes the sleet falling that morning may have washed away blood evidence in other spots.
Napholc acknowledged it's possible that precipitation can dilute blood and ultimately obscure it from investigators.
That admission — along with Bennett's testimony that police physically moved MacIsaac into the middle of the street after he had been shot — suggests he was farther away from police at the moment of the shooting than the officer originally stated, Wellington asserts.
Napholc said because there's no blood trail, he can't tell either way.
"The only exhibit that will show me where a person was is the blood staining in the ground, so where Mr. MacIsaac was coming to rest. Where he was prior to that, I have no idea."
Testimony is slated to continue tomorrow. Const. Taylor is expected to testify later in the week.
