About Felonious Assault

Posted by Innocent Man as Our Backstory

Welcome to the Felonious Assault blog. I chose Felonious Assault as the title not because it is the law that my family has been caught up in, but because the definition fits almost perfectly. Felonious Assault is defined as an unlawful attack or attempt to attack through force that causes injury to another. Let me tell you what has happened to us is an unlawful attack that has caused great injury to not only myself, but my entire family. It also helps that it is a phrase that is widely searched for, and I want as many people to read this as possible.

This is the 100% true story about myself and my family who have been ripped apart by an unjust arrest for a crime that never occured. Had responding officers to a 911 call in Durham region had better training for identifying a person with bipolar disorder and the resulting effects of the disease, and had they decided not to rush to judgement based on appearances and had instead actually conducted any type of investigation at the time, this blog would not exist. Instead I am separated from my wife, my older stepson, and our 9 month old son. I will miss my stepsons first day back to school, my younger sons first words, first steps, and a lot of other firsts for him. I will miss the time I enjoy spending with my wife, including waking up every morning and going to sleep every night next to her, us watching movies together, as well as walks in the parks hand in hand. In short, I will miss my whole family.

The Felonious Assault blog will be unfolding as you read it, I have decided to publish it anonomously with the help of a friend who has set it up for me and who is initially hosting it at no charge, and which will be financed (hopefully) in the future through donations and advertisements. It took me about 3 weeks to decide whether or not to document the story, but after careful consideration (and after consulting a very good attorney) I decided that this is something that needs to be told because all who have become involved are outraged at how this is being handled by the justice system (a system that until now, I have always strongly believed in).

Because of the nature of the story, most of it will be told from my perspective (Innocent Man) but some entries will be written by the others involved as well, where legally possible. When this odyssey is finally complete, future entries will be added from the perspective of the other individuals who have become wrapped up in this, one of which is my wife who I’m told is already writing an in depth article for one of our major daily newspapers. I have backtracked some of the earlier entries so that they appear on the days that the actual events took place and so you can read the story in order as it unfolds in the future.

I strongly recommend that you also read the other entries filed in ”Our Backstory” because they will contain details that could not be put into the main section (they are not part of the events that are taking place) but should provide you with further background information about all involved.

I will also be regularly updating a ”Resources” section which will contain further information, definitions, and other related links about some of the actual entries.

Feel free to post comments on the blog as well, the “nofollow” tag has been removed and I will be replying to all relevant posts or inquiries. Hopefully through the Felonious Assault blog I will be able to help others avoid the fate that has befallen my family…if it’s not already too late.
