DA KINE CAFE OWNER IN JAIL WHILE CHILD-PORN SUSPECT WALKS

Forgive me if I don't quite understand the judicial system in this country,
but on the one hand you have a woman like Da Kine Cafe owner Carol Gwilt,
charged with selling pot, who was denied bail and consequently, may be held
in custody for up to six months while awaiting trial.

On the other hand, you have a Burnaby man arrested after police seized
dozens of dvds that, in the words of the arresting officers, depict some of
the most loathsome images of kiddy porn, for example, adults having sex
with children.

Go figure. The judge granted this suspect bail so he walks freely in the
neighbourhood pending trial while Gwilt rots in a cell.

What's wrong with this picture? It's high time the judges in this country
were held accountable for the ridiculous decisions they make.
