Written By: Robin Mathews
Date: Saturday, October 11 at 17:59
The Kelly Marie Richard dental malpractice case throws open a window on alleged corruption in  major Canadian institutions: RCMP, higher courts, professional associations, cabinets, big corporations, legal firms - and more.  It provides a chilling commentary on the state of our "guardian institutions".

I wish I could say that I was surprised by what you have written Robin but I can't.

   

The Defendant responsible for very seriously injuring Kelly Marie Richard, Ryan Trigg and Justin Trigg is Dr. C. Todd Lee-Knight, a Calgary orthodontist,his father is Jack C. Lee-Knight a retired R.C.M.P. officer and Vice President of the Calgary R.C.M.P. Veteran's Association.

   

The evidence proves that within only hours of the Plaintiffs filing evidence proving very serious misconduct on the part of one of the judges, Justice Paul Chrumka, and the Counsel for the Defendants,including evidence that they were unlawfully working together to obstruct and deny the Plaintiffs, a seriously injured single mother and her 2 sons, justice, including the judge secretly accepted unfiled fraudulent documentation that he then based decisions on and their both blantantly lying during proceedings to mislead the Plaintiffs and falsify the court record...the Counsel for the Defendants, Alan Rudakoff of Macleod Dixon, filed an application to have the Plaintiff Kelly Marie Richard taken into custody by force and taken to a maximum security forensic psychiatric facility headed by Dr. Kenneth Hashman, a psychiatrist with significant conflict of interest connections to the Defendants and being paid by the Defendants, and forced to submit to a fraudulent psychiatric examination intended to wrongfully support committing the Plaintiff Kelly Marie Richard into this psychiatric facility indefinately as part of a cover up and based on absolutely no evidence as the court records prove, and when clearly the Counsel for the Defendants, Alan Rudakoff, is biased against the Plaintiffs and has significant reason to lie to attempt to cover up his unlawful misconduct and obstruct justice in this Action. The evidence, including several witnesses, proves that directly following this fraudulent unsubstantiated application being filed, Justice Paul Chrumka had an armed guard ready and waiting at the Court to take the Plaintiff Ms. Richard, a Plaintiff in a dental malpractice case, who he had ordered to appear in court, into custody to have her wrongfully committed indefinately into a psychiatric facility as part of a cover up. The injustice involved in this situation is very serious and shocking and completely proven by the evidence, and should be of concern to all Canadians.

   

Harper's government has allowed and is continuing to allow this very serious injustice to be done to Kelly Marie Richard, Ryan Trigg and Justin Trigg, a woman and her 2 children, respectable Canadian citizens who are the victims of serious harm and injustice the evidence proves, refusing to even respond to more than 100 letters written by the Committee for the Defence of Kelly Marie Richard requesting a public inquiry and full investigation into this case. Based on the evidence, including this case and others, all Canadians should be seriously concerned that Harper and his government, who have been paid to and have promised to and are obligated to serve Canadians, will not protect them or their rights, regardless of how seriously they are mistreated, which should horrify Canadians when they truly take the time to understand what this truly means to them.

   

The audio recording transcribed below is part of the evidence that is part of the court records proving that after Dr. C. Todd Lee-Knight, a Calgary orthodontist, severely injured and mutilated Kelly Marie Richard and her 2 children,the dental community in Alberta and beyond cruelly and wrongfully refused them treatment for the very serious injuries caused to them by Dr. C. Todd Lee-Knight as part of a cover up, leaving them suffering, including suffering severe pain as a result of being caused severely dislocated jaws and mutilated teeth that could no longer close, and continuing to suffer further injury as a result, while the Alberta Government and Federal Government refused to help and the evidence proves participated in the efforts to cover up what Dr. Lee-Knight had done. And after spending an extreme amount of money trying to get all the treatment needed to treat the severe injuries caused to them, the Plaintiffs, Canadian citizens who are the victims of very serious dental malpractice, still continue to be denied the treatment they need to try and recover as much as is possible from the horrible injuries that Dr. Lee-Knight caused them, and continue to be harrassed and denied justice by those involved in attempting to cover up what has been so horrifically done to Kelly Marie Richard and her 2 children, as the evidence proves. The law says this is illegal in Canada, that health professionals can't deny a patient the treatment they need and Canadian citizens can't be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment, etc...and imagine if a health professional seriously injured you and then no one would help you because it would mean it would prove the injuries done to you? Say this was a surgeon and he cut an artery during surgery and no one would fix it because it would prove what he had done? The evidence proves what has been done to Kelly Marie Richard and her 2 sons is horribly wrong and that a public inquiry and full investigation of their case should be done for the sake of all Canadians, so this type of horrific mistreatment of Canadian citizens is not allowed to continue and never happens again.

Transcript of audio recording that part of the evidence that is part of the court records for Action 0301-16147 in the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta in Calgary...

Kelly Marie Richard: Hello?

Tara Li Francis/Treatment Coordinator for Dr. Kestevan in B.C.: Hi Kelly?

K: Yes.

TL: This is Tara Li from Dr. Kestevan�s office.

K: Hi.

TL: How are you doing today?

K: Okay. (Her voice doesn�t sound okay, it sounds very quiet and weak)

TL: You have your days heh?�I was speaking again with Dr. Kestevan about your treatment and um, he�s, he�s uncomfortable , at this point, going ahead with seeing you. He�s concerned about that there�s � (This was after Dr. Kestevan had already agreed to treat the Plaintiffs after they were severely injured and mistreated by Dr. C. Todd Lee-Knight and then further by Dr. Barry Hoffman who the evidence proves was attempting to cover up for Dr. C. Todd Lee-Knight)

K: The legal issue.

TL: That there is a claim that�s um, you hadn�t mentioned to me that there is a claim, right now. (The evidence proves that the Plaintiffs had not yet filed a claim against the Defendants at the time of this call in April 2003, but the Alberta Dental Association knew the Plaintiffs have a valid claim as this evidence proves so they lied and unjustly and improperly interfered with them, a woman and w children, getting treatment for the severe injuries the Defendants caused them to interfere with them obtaining further evidence that would support a claim, which is very seriously wrong and violated the law, including privacy and information laws and was seriously heinous and inhumane.)

K: Who told you that?

TL: Uhm, well, actually I called the Alberta Dental Association.

K: So, because we�re suffering and they might have to be accountable for that, you�re not � he�s not willing to help us � two human beings that are suffering. (Plaintiffs didn�t understand at this time that Justin, other son, had also been very seriously injured when Dr. Lee-Knight pushed on his jaw.)

TL: It actually, it has to do a little more with you being upfront with us.

K: I was never � I never lied to you.

TL: You said that you weren�t pursuing uhm, that kind of suit.

K: I never said that. I have actually every word you said on tape. I never said that. I�m taping this right now.

TL: Yeah. I actually you did � you did say to me that you weren�t pursuing that --

K: No, I didn�t.

TL: And, I said, �Oh� �

K: No, you asked me if I had notified the um, college and I said, �yes� but, I hadn�t heard back � I haven�t heard back.

TL: okay. So --

K: You never asked me if I was pursuing anything else.

TL: My, My � I, I have uhm, a different memory of that because �

K: Well, I have a tape of it.

TL: Okay, that�s fine, Kelly. Um, so, just because right now --

K: That�s okay. I�m going public and I�m using all the information you told me and the fact that this conversation is part of it.

TL: Okay. Alright. Okay. I�m, I�m not sure �

K: Thanks for caring about people and human beings and children.

TL: I -- You know what? We really, really do.

K: Oh! Only if it doesn�t involve � we didn�t do anything wrong. He did something to us.

TL: I, I acknowledge �

K: Why should we be punished because somebody hurt us? And, that�s exactly what he�s doing. He�s punishing us. Just -- how would you feel if the orthodontist that did what you did � you received to you if you had a chance to get compensation for that? How would you feel if they wouldn�t allow you to do that? (Treatment Coordinator had told Plaintiffs in writing and over the phone that she also had been seriously injured by improper orthodontic treatment as a child as evidence proves.)

TL: Yeah.

K: That�s why there�s laws in place.

TL: Yeah. Yeah, and, I feel for you. I really do and, of course, I�m very concerned for you and your health but --

K: But, still, I don�t deserve compensation and I don�t deserve help and my child doesn�t deserve help --

TL: No. I � didn�t say anything that you don�t deserve compensation.

K: Then, why would you not be willing to see us because of �

TL: That�s Dr. Kestevan�s decision that -- it sounds like �-

K: Because he doesn�t think I should be allowed to be compensated but, you know what? If nobody did anything wrong, then that will be proven. If somebody did something wrong, then they should be held accountable. It�s not up to him to deny treatment -� to punish me �- because I�ve reported what was done to us.

TL: But, Dr. Kestevan�s not saying that you shouldn�t be compensated.

K: He�s just saying that he won�t help us stop suffering, even though he has the ability to do so. That�s okay. Real, real good health care professional � put the patients first. My kid is lying in bed � suffering � my whole life is destroyed and he�s worried about the orthodontist that hurt us. That�s unreasonable.

TL: I think that you need to finish what�s happening, right now. Get your compensation.

K: Keep suffering? It�ll take years before that�s uhm resolved, so we should suffer and in the meantime the damage being done to us will continue and if we end up dead or really sick because of it and suffer our whole lives destroyed because of it, well, then he�s done the right thing. If it was happening to you, you would feel differently. I don�t blame you -- you�re doing what your employer told you to do.

TL: I, uh, I don�t feel differently. I feel that you should be treated but --

K: But, not if I�ve complained about what was done?

TL: No, no. No, I�m not saying any of that.

K: It�s funny because you said I should write a letter to the college.

TL: I think you should.

K: But, because I have, I�m not going to get treatment.

TL: No, I think that it�s just that it�s unresolved at this point.

K: We�re in pain and suffering �- it� shouldn�t matter. You can�t hide what was done to our teeth.

TL: Yeah.

K: We didn�t make it up � we�re not accusing somebody who doesn�t deserve to be accused of something. We�re not trying to hurt anybody. We were hurt and we�re trying to get help.

TL: Yeah. yeah.

K: You know, I know this isn�t your fault.

TL: I�m sorry. I�m sorry. I feel, I feel really badly for you. I would love to do everything but I�m just new in the dental industry and he�s just saying that something has to be resolved there before we can become involved.

K: What you don�t understand is everybody is denying us treatment and if � you said how lucky you were to have the right one treating you.

TL: Yeah.

K: Well, imagine how I feel, we weren�t so lucky and we�re suffering and we can�t get help and our lives are being destroyed and they�re all sticking together like the �� old boys� club�� while my life goes down the tubes and I did nothing wrong.

TL: No.

K: So �

TL: Yeah, I feel really badly for you but, um --

K: Regardless �

TL: I need to go. I need to be assisting but I did need to let you know.

K: Well, tell him that I�ll be using this in, uhm, when I go public � that people are qualified close to my home, but they refuse care because they�re more concerned about protecting other orthodontists then human beings. Thank you.

TL: �kay. Bye, Kelly.

   

Don't know why but ' translated as ? in transcript

   

In addition to the Defendant Dr. C. Todd Lee-Knight's father being a retired RCMP officer and Vice President of the Calgary Division of the RCMP Veterans Association, as this link proves... http://www.rcmpvetsnational.ca/General/ ... erta-e.php

The Defendant Dr. C. Todd Lee-Knight's parents, Ruth and Jack C. Lee-Knight, also donated a significant amount of money to the RCMP, including between $10,000 and $49,000, as this link proves...
http://www.rcmpheritagecentre.com/index ... menu_id/34

The evidence supports that these factors, along with several other significant conflict of interests that exist,including CGI having a major contract relationship with CGI, improperly influenced the RCMP's improper actions and misconduct relating to this case and Kelly Marie Richard's valid complaint to the RCMP about her health records being doctored to attempt to obstruct justice in this case.

This evidence of further serious corruption in our national police force, in addition to what has already been reported to Canadians, should be of serious concern to Canadians and supports the need for a public inquiry and full investigation of the Kelly Marie Richard case.

   

Has the media been involved regarding this incident? Are there others that have been disfigured by this incompetant asshole? As far as I am concerned the corrupt RCMP should remove the C from their name as they are no longer considered Canadian in many peoples eyes. I have no respect for a corrupt and criminal organization.

   

CTV News committed verbally and in writing to covering our story on their CTV Whistleblower news program in 2006,(we still have the emails, including the one specifically committing to covering our story and will forward a copy to anyone who wishes to see it, as well as audio tapes of phone conversations we had with them and the cell phone bills proving they called us many times about the story because they were so interested in it after viewing the evidence), but after telling us they were flying their reporter Kathy Tomlinson to Alberta to interview us for the story, as we were still living in Calgary at the time,they suddenly cut off all communication with us. The evidence proves that our lawyer at the time, Stephen Nelson of Nelson & Nelson, was negligently serving Alan Rudakoff, the Counsel for the Defendants, and the Defendants behind our/his clients backs, and that he betrayed us by improperly alerting Rudakoff and the Defence about CTV's plans to cover our story, and the story was suddenly shut down because of the power and influence the Defence have. The evidence supports CGI,who represent the Defendants insurance company in the defence against our claim, being involved with the owners of CTV/Bellglobalmedia and the other powerful connections the Defence have explains the story being shut down.

Prior to CTV committing to doing the story, Mike D'Amour of the Calgary Sun came to our home and met with my older son Ryan and I and went through the evidence of our case at the time and was so convinced by it that he also committed to covering our story, committing to giving it a full page in the Calgary Sun paper he works for because he felt it was so important and supported by the evidence. Mr. D'Amour had us promise not to speak to any other paper or media and to commit to allowing him to cover it exclusively because he felt it was such an important story and gave us his personal cell number, which he wrote on his business card for us, which we still have to prove, telling us we could call him at any time because he felt our story was so important and he didn't want us going to any other reporter or paper with it. Then, just like happened with CTV, he suddenly cut off communication and the story never happened. As Robin Mathews and others have reported, the evidence we have proves the media in Canada is corrupt and controlled by those involved in that corruption, including the corporation known as CGI.

Despite us having the evidence to back up everything we have reported and much, much more,and the importance of our story to Canadians, the media in Canada has refused to report our story to Canadians.

The evidence proves that there have been other victims who have been severely injured as my children and I have been, beyond anything you would think possible from dental/orthodontic malpractice, and that there are likely many more victims, which appears to be why the Defence is fighting so hard to cover up our case, so that the other victims and the public are not made aware of the facts and evidence in our case, etc...

The evidence in our case proves that Dr. C. Todd Lee-Knight is a member of the staff of the University of Alberta Orthodontic Graduate Program, see link... http://www.uofaweb.ualberta.ca/ortho/na ... av01=10600
which is located in Edmonton, and that Dr. C. Todd Lee-Knight is paid to do clinical research on his patients in his pratice in Calgary, though Dr. Lee-Knight negligently and deceptively failed to tell us this when we were his patients, and we never consented to and never would have consented to being in any way involved in, and further Dr. Lee-Knight unlawfully withheld this information from us that we are by law entitled to and that is very important to our case when he was testifying under oath, we discovered it on our own. This evidence is extremely important to our case for many reasons, including that the University of Alberta Orthodontic Graduate Program specifically specializes in researching the very injuries Dr. Lee-Knight caused my sons and I, including severe Temporomandibular joint/jaw joint/also known as TMJ injuries that he was being paid to do research relating to when he caused these very serious injuries to my sons and I and then pretended not to recognize these very serious injuries and the classic pain and symptoms associated with them, and lied about what he had done to us while the evidence proves Dr. Lee-Knight specializes in researching these very injuries, supporting, along with the substantial evidence we have proving this fact, that Dr. Lee-Knight intentionally injured my children and I as part of research he was being paid to do for the University of Alberta, which we knew nothing about and never agreed to be part of. The evidence proves there are other victims of the University of Alberta Orthodontic Graduate Program's seriously unethical, unlawful research, including Krystal MCCormick of Edmonton who was severely injured prior to my children and I being injured and filed a lawsuit prior to our filing our claim, making it clear, along with other clear evidence we have, that the University of Alberta is aware that they are seriously and permanently injuring people, primarily children and also woman, yet continue to do so.

We believe based on the evidence that if our story is not made fully public other Canadians, primarily children, will be severely, completely unnecessarily, injured as my children and I were, as well as other Canadians seriously harassed and mistreated and denied justice as my sons and I have been to date.

   

Adding to the extreme corruption involved with our case to date is the fact that the head of the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta in Calgary, Associate Chief Justice N.C. Wittmann, is employed by the University of Alberta Alberta Law Reform Institute, see link http://www.law.ualberta.ca/alri/About-A ... /index.php, the Defendant Dr. C. Todd Lee-Knight's employer, (who the evidence supports has a significant interest in the outcome of our case and our not getting justice), and the evidence supports that Justice Wittmann receives a salary and benefitsw for this position, see link http://www.law.ualberta.ca/alri/About-A ... -Board.php , beyond his salary as a judge and has for the past 14 years based on the evidence, which violates the Federal Judges Act which states

Extra-judicial Employment
Judicial duties exclusively

55. No judge shall, either directly or indirectly, for himself or herself or others, engage in any occupation or business other than his or her judicial duties, but every judge shall devote himself or herself exclusively to those judicial duties.

R.S., 1985, c. J-1, s. 55; 2002, c. 8, s. 102(E). and violates the conflict of interest rules reported by the Canadian Judicial Council which Justice Wittmann is a member of, as the evidence we have and that is reported on the CJC website proves.

This evidence reasonably supports, along with a considerable amount of further evidence, that Associate Chief Justice Wittmann, who has been involved with our Action from the start, including unfairly and in violation of the rules and law granting the Defendants application made behind our backs that our case be assigned to case management, without any evidence supporting this application and which he ordered without our knowledge and without our ever receiving or being served with the order. And Justice Wittmann has also chosen ALL the judges involved with our Action as well, including 2 other judges significantly involved with him and the University of Alberta Alberta Law Reform Institute, Justice Scott Brooker, see link http://www.law.ualberta.ca/alri/About-A ... ittees.php ,who also worked for Justice Wittmann for almost 30 years prior to being appointed a judge and the evidence supports is a very close associate of his, and Justice William E. Wilson, see link http://www.law.ualberta.ca/alri/About-A ... rship.php,, both also who held position with the University of Alberta Law Reform Institute...is biased in favour of the Defendant
Dr. Lee-Knight and the defence and therefore against us the Plaintiffs.

Further to this evidence of bias is that Justice Alan MACLEOD of MACLEOD Dixon, the Defendants lawyer's lawfirm, is also a Board member of the University of Alberta Alberta Law Reform Institute, http://www.law.ualberta.ca/alri/About-A ... /index.php, and meets with Justice Wittmann once a month and has for many years now and the evidence supports has a significant relationship with Justice Wittmann, proving further evidence of bias.

Also the evidence proves that the University of Alberta Alberta Law Reform Institute, the employer of 3 of the judges involved with our case, is funded by the University of Alberta and the Alberta Government who are involved in a major partnership with CGI who are managing the litigation for the Defence in this Action on behalf of the Defendants insurance company, and are also involved with local, provincial and federal governments across Canada,including provincial and the federal justice departments, proving that our case should be of concern to all Canadians. And this is only the tip of the iceberg of the evidence we have proving the judges involved with our case to date are biased in favour of the Defendants and therefore against us the Plaintiffs, which is only a small part of the evidence explaining the very serious corruption involved with our case and against us.

Is this the kind of justice system Canadians, you want...one that hands (in)justice to the highest bidder or the one that pays the judge, or to the judge's buddies, etc...? If not support a public inquiry and full investigation of our case to expose the corruption involved and hold those responsible accountable and stop it so this horrendous abuse and injustice does not happen to you or other Canadians, and so no more children are unnecessarily and heinously injured and mistreated.

   

The evidence that is part of the court records proves that the defendant Dr. Lee-Knight testified under oath that he used this seriously harmful jaw pushing procedure described by a dental professional also hurt by this harmful procedure in the link below on the 3 plaintiffs, 11 and 12 year old children at the time and a petite woman who the records prove did not require any orthodontic treatment, during every appointment for months, forcefully pushing their lower jaws back and manipulating them up and down and leaning heavily on them, when this procedure/action is commonly known to dental professionals to be seriously harmful and Dr. Lee-Knight had written professional articles about this fact 10 years before he injured the 3 Plaintiffs that were published in the Canadian Dental Association, supporting he injured them knowingly and intentionally, and that is not standard procedure for orthodontists to do and when there was absolutely no reason to do this to the 3 plaintiffs who were perfectly normal and healthy as Dr. Lee-Knight's own initial records prove, and the Plaintiffs never consented to this being done to them and repeatedly asked him why he was doing this and to stop doing this to them, yet he continued, severely injuring them and caused them to suffer on-going severe pain and symptoms, all as the evidence proves
http://www.tmjfacialpain.com/pub5.htm
Further, the second defendant Dr. Barry Hoffman testified under oath that he knows this jaw pushing procedure to be very wrong and that this information is commonly known, further proving the Plaintiffs case against the Defendants, in addition to a further significant and abundant evidence, including many reports written by several different dental professionals, and the defendants have submitted absolutely no evidence of any kind defending against the plaintiffs claim as the court records prove, yet the judges involved have shockingly ignored this extremely important evidence and all the evidence submitted by the plaintiffs and outrageously have denied the plaintiffs right to a trial and to justice and ordered the severely injured plaintiffs to pay costs to the defendants that severely injured them and caused them to suffer extreme pain and losses, etc...

Further the evidence supports that Dr. Lee-Knight picks the patients he uses this seriously harmful procedure on, without their knowledge, picking and choosing the patients he is going to severely injure as part of the unethical, unlawful research he is paid to do for the University of Alberta. And as the link above proves, a child or adult only has to see Dr. Lee-Knight once and him to do this seriously harmful jaw pushing procedure to them once and they will be left severely and permanently injured and suffering horrible pain and symptoms as the evidence proves.

   

Audio recordings we have of the court proceedings relating to our case prove that the court transcripts prepared by the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta in Calgary have been fraudulently altered to try and cover up serious injustice being done to us the Plaintiffs and prove, along with other substantial evidence, that beyond any doubt the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta in Calgary is seriously corrupt.

   

This evidence is not from the Kelly Marie Richard case but rather from another Canadian case and is evidence from another Canadian that Canadian judges are doctoring and falsifying court transcripts and the Canadian Judicial Council is allowing this and no one is helping the victims of this fraud...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dLEJtE_ ... re=related

   

AS link below proves, Ontario law allows parties to audio record proceedings to protect their interests but Alberta Courts have signs posted throughout saying it is against the law to audio record proceedings, unjustly denying parties their right to protect their interests and to protect themselves from injustice and corruption...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pg5bSqd6aQE
We the Plaintiffs in the Kelly Marie Richard case only were able to get audio recordings of the proceedings because have an audio recorder on our phone and participated in some proceedings by phone, otherwise we would have been denied evidence proving the Court transcripts were fraudulently falsified in favour of the defendants as the evidence we now have proves, which is seriously unjust to Albertan's and any Canadians that are denied their right to obtain independent evidence of what occurs during Court proceedings, including audio recordings. The only reason for Alberta judges denying parties the right to audio record proceedings is because they are corrupt and intend to falsify the Court transcripts and court records as there is absolutely no other reason to deny this right for Albertans and Canadians to protect their interests in Court proceedings and judges with integrity would want parties to have this evidence to establish proceedings are just and fair and honest, etc...
