Driver who cut person in half on trial
Posted By THE CANADIAN PRESS
Posted 19 hours ago
An accused man told court Friday that he wasn't street racing when his car cut a 21-year-old Hamilton pedestrian in half.
Andre Telesford, 29, of Orillia, contradicted the evidence of more than a dozen witnesses who have told court his white Dodge Neon and another unidentified car -- possibly a dark green Honda Prelude -- were chasing each other in cross-town traffic at highway speeds.
Just after midnight on Nov. 5, 2006, the Neon struck Matthew Power as he and a friend were crossing the street.
The impact tore the victim's body in half and sent it flying more than 60 metres.
Telesford told Superior Court Justice David Crane he was halfway through the intersection when he saw the victim's friend, Christopher Van Amerongen, crossing the street.
He said dodge magnum body kit he swerved into the north curb lane to avoid hitting him when a second person he hadn't seen darted in front of his car.
"I seen someone crossing the street. I hit the brakes and geared down," Telesford said. "(Van Amerongen) stopped and just looked at me ... then someone ran out in front of me."
Assistant Crown attorney Kevin McKenna dodge start time las vegassuggested to Telesford that his story was implausible, given that Power and Van Amerongen were walking together and both would have been in clear view. The prosecutor said Telesford's claim that he tried to brake and gear down flew in the face of both physical evidence and the testimony dodge colt e of other witnesses. McKenna noted there were no skid marks on the pavement. Other drivers and their passengers said they saw the white Neon and other vehicle travelling at "tremendous speed" as they tore bumper-to- bumper through the intersection. One witness, Bradley Pitts, a self-described "car freak," said the cars flew past his GMC Jimmy a block and a half east of the dodge brothers intersection going about 120 kilometres per hour. He said they kept accelerating and by the time they entered the intersection, he estimated their speed to be 150 km/h to 160 km/h.

He said the driver was revving his engine loudly and tailgating him. The accused man said he tried to break away from the car by accelerating to pass a woman in a Ford Focus in dodge ram cab lights front of him. The lights turned green just as he reached the intersection, he said. In earlier testimony, defence lawyer Cheryl Robb suggested to Det.-Const. Robert Blankstein that her client was swerving into the curb lane to avoid hitting Van Amerongen when his car struck Power. "I would disagree," Blankstein said. "I don't believe dodge diamente he had any opportunity to perceive and react to the situation in front of him." Telesford said tomball dodge his airbag deployed on impact with the man's body and he was unable to see anything. "Were you racing the other car?" Robb asked her client. "No," Telesford replied.

Inmates at the Fort Dodge state prison will have their cigarette supply permanently cut off Friday, and they won't be doing any more puffing after Nov. 1.
Warden Cornell Smith has declared he is fed up with convicts breaking rules by smoking in their cells, hot-wiring electrical outlets to light cigarettes and tossing tobacco butts outside their units. So he's accelerating the state's plans to convert the prison into a tobacco-free facility.
"I realize this will be a difficult habit to stop, but we will get through it," Smith said in a memo last week to the Fort Dodge prison's 1,100 inmates.
The Iowa Department of Corrections said in May that all of Iowa's prisons replacement carpet for a dodge caravan will become tobacco-free in January. State legislators had exempted prisons from a law that went into effect July 1 that bans smoking in most public places. But prison officials said they are concerned about rising health care costs and believe banning smoking will help reduce those bills.
Under Smith's plan, offenders won't be allowed to order any more tobacco products from the prison commissary, effective Friday. As of Nov. 1, all tobacco will be considered contraband and subject to disciplinary action. Smoking cessation classes will be offered starting in August.
Smith previously wrote to inmates on Feb. 7, warning them to quit smoking in their cells and citing other tobacco-related problems.
"There was no decrease of violations, and this type of behavior is unsafe here dodge viper dealers richmond va at the institution," Smith dodge dakota stolen in san diego said in last week's memo.
Prison spokesman Fred Scaletta said Wednesday there are no plans to accelerate the dodge mobile al smoking ban at other state prisons.
Correctional facilities at Clarinda, Oakdale and Mount Pleasant are already tobacco-free, but smoking is still allowed at prisons in Fort Madison, Mitchellville, Rockwell City, Anamosa and Newton.
Jeff Draper, 54, a Fort Dodge inmate serving time for drug convictions, said he objects to the tobacco ban.
"It isn't about smoking. The issue is about personal liberty and the rights guaranteed to our citizens by our Bill of Rights," Draper said.
Scaletta said correctional officials can dodge ram prerunneradministratively prohibit inmates from smoking. The Federal Bureau of Prisons, with more than 200,000 inmates, has been smoke-free since 2004, a federal spokesman said.
