Well, it's the end of the line for Senior Chief Justice of the Tacit Supreme in Law Court Mario Antonacci a.k.a. Andreas Pirelli. I have located a news article from the LaPresse newspaper that reports on the conviction of Antonacci for his misconduct in Quebec a number of years ago:
Unfortunately it's in French, so my report is based on a Google Translation of that - there may be inaccuracies.
This is the first report of the trial proceedings itself and provides few details. For example, it is unclear whether evidence was taken, or anything like that. What we do know is that Antonacci was convicted in two separate offence scenarios.
First was when Antonacci attacked his landlady, pushing her so she fell down some stairs (one of those externally mounted iron staircases) so that the woman in her 50's, a Jocelyne Malouf, broke her arm and hip.
The second incident has Antonacci and his wife, Sylvia Gibb, renting a "dilapidated" property to a group of "young musicians". There was a dispute about renovations, Antonacci broke into the property, threatened the "young musicians" who fled, then changed the locks and sold the contents of the property, including instruments that belonged to the "young musicians" worth thousands of dollars.
So they're not just bad tenants, but also bad landlords!
In this second scenario Antonacci pled guilty to break and enter, mischief, and extortion.
My hunch in Antonacci pled guilty to the attack on Malouf as well - but again I can't tell that for sure from this report.
Trial on both sets of charges had started in 2010 but then Antonacci fled to Calgary, Alberta, became "Andreas Pirelli", and we all know where that went.
The LaPresse news report indicates Antonacci was found competant to stand trial by psychiatrists after his arrest. Not really a surprise - the test there is a very low.
Total sentence was 2 years, 9 months incarceration: 2 years for the assault, 9 months for the "young musicians" incident.
Antonacci's lawyer tried to argue that he should receive elevated credit for his time spent in pre-trial detention: 1.5 to 1. This is now the default in Canada. That was rejected because the reason Antonacci was in pre-trial remand detention was his own fault - he fled the original 2010 trial. So presumably a 1:1 discount was applied, instead. The news article does not specify.
I checked to see if there are any reported case judgments associated with this - none yet. I'll keep an eye on that.
Antonacci still potentially faces charges in Alberta.
Hopefully this is the last we hear of Antonacci, but somehow I have this feeling that in five years or so he and the Sovran Nations/Tacit Supreme In Law Courts will somehow re-emerge.
At the moment the only rump survivor of that movement of which I am aware is Larry Zachow's North Watchmen People's Embassy. Shaunda Petrova's blog entries appear to indicate that she remains in contact with persons from that group (
http://forestprincess.wordpress.com/). Petrova is quite vague on that, except for expressing total confidence in Zachow & Co. There's been some interesting posts on that forum, but I'll comment on that separately. I am otherwise unaware of any other activity by Zachow & Co., but they always have remained very quiet, so I don't think much can inferred from that.
Unless you're around Redbird and have an update for us?
Anyways - adios Mario! Hope not to see you again.
