I hear he just sent out another e-mail.

Yes, he apparently sent quite a few emails in the last few days. This matches the pattern that happened last time he was in court - he got really active online just before the court date.

Two weeks more to wait to see what happens next.

Any news of what happened? I assume not much as he appears to be back at his old tricks. See this thread http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=254218 which has a link to http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/...ce-column.html which contains a new post from our mutual 'friend'.

#MABUS Update: Court is awaiting a psych report on whether he can be held criminally responsible. He's still free, next hearing April 18.

So apparently the Canadian court system is like the groundhog; if it sees its shadow, we get six more weeks of spam.

I don't get any spam, because Mabus is prohibited by the court from contacting me. <sips margarita on beach>

"Criminally responsible" for what, specifically? Harassment? Stalking? Both?

Simply curious. I hope there might be the possibility, if he is held criminally responsible, a subsequent sentence will involve detention in a mental health facility, not prison.

Because of the thread in FM, yesterday I read your piece detailing this guy's history and how you and others finally got law enforcement to take notice. Fascinating, and a really interesting application of social media.

You've got it backwards, I'm afraid. If he's not criminally responsible, then he goes to a psychiatric institution. (NCR is the Canadian equivalent of not guilty by reason of insanity.) If he is criminally responsible, then he faces the normal range of criminal punishments.

I haven't been involved in this one, and only learned of it today, but I hope his is found NCR and gets some help.

I have followed this for quite a while. I am not a mabus victim, but it has been a train wreck in slow motion as he descends into his own personal hell. I hope he gets the help he needs, and not a custodial sentence, but I wouldn't care to bet on it.

What amazes me is that we, who are only mostly distant observers of his activities and lapse back into his old ways, still seem to be better informed than the authorities dealing with his case .

Ah. My mistake...thanks for the correction.
