This is an update on this It was the second time the victim had to testify after an earlier trial last November was shut down when the trial judge was alarmed with the victim's HIV status and ordered him to wear a mask and testify electronically from another courtroom. Justice Jon-Jo Douglas is now facing and investigation and possible discipline with the Ontario Judicial Council. www.thebarrieexaminer.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=922914

I think that this is one of the most ingnorant things that I've heard of in a long time. It also goes to show how much further we all have to go in this fight against the stigma and fear attached to HIV/AIDS. We don't need ignorant, idiots like these anywhere near us or the human race at all. They only purpetuate the ignorance and stigma. Let's step up the education against this type of behavior and the education about this epidemic/pandemic in general. Thankyou and God Bless Us One and All.

I don't know the legal system in Canada but if that judge was ELECTED instead of appointed to his bench position, the gay community there should spear head a movement to have him unseated in the next elections. He is not only ignorant but illegally influences the court proceedings by tainting the jury or lawyers on the opposing side. Possibly, he could also be disbarred if the community got behind it. Brothers and sisters all, we the homosexual community have to stand up for our selves.

This is just outright terrible. I would only hope that the people who elected this Judge will know call for a recall of him. No reason in the world why any person who works in law should not know the truth about HIV by now.
