The criminal case versus Robert Miller need to be tossed out since he is too ill to have a reasonable trial, the Montreal billionaire’s attorneys state. Miller was charged last Thursday with 21 counts, consisting of sexual attack, sexual exploitation, and attracting an individual to dedicate prostitution in relation to 10 plaintiffs, much of whom were minors. The offenses supposedly occurred in between 1994 and 2016. Miller’s legal group submitted a movement in Superior Court arguing that the 80-year-old implicated suffers from “an extremely innovative degenerative Parkinson’s illness” and is “in an incredibly frail condition, bedridden and under 24/7 care.” Attorneys Isabella Teolis and Nicholas St-Jacques are requesting for a stay of procedures, arguing in the movement submitted on Tuesday that the criminal case would break 2 of his Charter rights, consisting of a right to a reasonable trial under area 11d of the Charter. Taking part in the criminal trial would “trigger substantial damage to his health,” they declare. “He is and will never ever have the ability to protect himself.” Montreal authorities jailed the previous Future Electronics CEO at his home in Westmount and launched him on a pledge to appear in court on July 3. On Tuesday, among his supposed accomplices, 67-year-old Teresita Fuentes, was likewise jailed and charged with a pimping charge and is set to appear in court likewise on July 3. Fuentes and Miller both live at the very same address, according to court records. Miller has actually consistently rejected the accusations made versus him. More to come.
