State of New Mexico v. Busfield Part 2: “Mythical Rules”

October 18, 2026
Kinglory

“Mythical Rules” like the LSBC with their internal Concealed RAM Dump “rules” or off the book rules….

Opening Question

Why did trial attorney Mark Geragos blast the Bernalillo County prosecution on NewsNation’s Jesse Weber Live for “inventing mythical rules” during the grand jury proceedings in State of New Mexico v. Timothy Busfield, how does fabricating ad-hoc procedural barriers to block physically present exculpatory witnesses violate a prosecutor’s statutory and ethical duty of candour under NMSA 1978, § 31-6-7(D) and Rule 16-308 NMRA, and why does prosecutorial tunnel vision in high-profile child-allegation cases draw direct comparisons to the infamous McMartin Preschool collapse?

Direct Answer Paragraph

When a prosecutor exploits their monopoly as sole legal advisor inside a secret grand jury room to invent non-existent procedural barriers that prevent grand jurors from hearing ready, willing, and physically present exculpatory witnesses, the state transitions from impartial minister of justice to partisan saboteur. Relying upon Herbert Broom’s foundational legal maxim fictio cedit veritati; fictio juris non est, ubi veritas (legal fiction yields to truth; where truth is, fiction of law does not exist), Second Judicial District Judge Joseph Montaño’s October 16, 2026 dismissal order vindicated defense attorney Mark Geragos’s critique that the prosecutor “invented mythical rules” regarding witness subpoenas, proving that ad-hoc legal fictions fabricated to withhold exculpatory testimony constitute structural misconduct that voids an indictment ab initio.

Overview

In Part 1 of this series (State of New Mexico v. Busfield Part 1: Anatomy of a Dismissal), we examined the statutory mechanics of Second Judicial District Judge Joseph Montaño’s Friday, October 16, 2026 order quashing all four felony counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor against actor and director Timothy Busfield. Following Judge Montaño’s ruling, prominent criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos appeared on NewsNation’s Jesse Weber Live—as well as on the 2 Angry Men podcast alongside Harvey Levin—to deliver a blistering forensic autopsy of the Bernalillo County District Attorney’s Office.

Summarizing how prosecutor Greer Staley handled the grand jurors’ explicit requests to hear from exculpatory witnesses after Busfield testified for three hours, Geragos cut straight to the constitutional core:

“He invented these mythical rules… They should stick their tail between their collective legs and run away.”

What exactly are “mythical rules” in criminal and administrative procedure? In courtroom practice, when a state actor, regulator, or tribunal clerk lacks a valid statutory basis to block an inconvenient witness or suppress an exculpatory record, they rarely admit they are acting arbitrarily. Instead, they manufacture a procedural mirage—citing a non-existent subpoena prerequisite, an imaginary pre-screening rule, or a fabricated registry barrier to convince lay jurors or unrepresented citizens that the law’s hands are tied. As we have documented in The Anatomy of Abuse of Process: Eradicating State and Corporate Malfeasance and Upholding Integrity: A Lawyer’s Duty Under Rule 2.1-1, fabricating procedural rules inside an ex parte or secret forum is one of the most insidious forms of state malfeasance.

In Part 2 of this ten-part treatise, we dissect the three specific “mythical rules” invented by the prosecution in State v. Busfield, examine why Mark Geragos and Harvey Levin drew direct parallels between the Busfield prosecution and the notorious McMartin Preschool case, and establish the tactical defense playbook—anchored by Machiavelli for Lawyers: Hold Your Position—required to expose and annihilate fabricated prosecutorial procedures.

The “Mythical Rules” vs. Statutory Reality Diagnostic Matrix

When a prosecutor or administrative presenter acts as sole legal advisor to a lay panel in an ex parte or closed-door session, defense counsel must audit the transcript line-by-line to separate genuine statutory rules from invented procedural fictions:

Dimension of Grand Jury ProcedureThe Prosecutor’s “Mythical Rule” in BusfieldActual Governing Law in New MexicoLegal & Ethical Consequence
Calling Physically Present, Willing WitnessesGrand jurors cannot hear from waiting defense witnesses until formal subpoenas are drafted, issued, and served.False. A subpoena is only required to compel an unwilling or absent witness. Under NMSA 1978, § 31-6-11(B), willing witnesses present at the courthouse can be sworn in immediately.Violates NMSA 1978, § 31-6-7(D) duty to properly instruct jurors on the law; artificially withholds requested witnesses.
Target Identifying Exculpatory WitnessesA testifying target who mentions corroborating witnesses is “excessively steering” the grand jury, justifying prosecutorial pushback.False. Under NMSA 1978, § 31-6-11(C), a target has the statutory right to testify and alert jurors to exculpatory facts and witnesses.Punishes the target for exercising a statutory right; turns the prosecutor into an adversarial blocker rather than an impartial aide.
Screening Out Requested Witness TestimonyThe prosecutor can orally advise the grand jury that procedural hurdles prevent them from hearing the witnesses they requested.False. Under Jones v. Murdoch, 2009-NMSC-002, and Rule 5-302A NMRA, only the grand jury judge—not the prosecutor—can relieve the state of presenting exculpatory evidence.Usurps judicial authority (coram non judice); triggers conclusive presumption of prejudice under Herrera v. Sanchez.
Ethical Duty in Ex Parte ProceedingsThe prosecutor’s primary job is to secure a “true bill” indictment and save defense witnesses for the trial phase.False. Under Rule 16-308 NMRA and NMSA 1978, § 31-6-7(D), the prosecutor is a minister of justice who must act with strict impartiality and candour at all times.Constitutes prosecutorial misconduct and breach of the duty of candour (Upholding Integrity: Rule 2.1-1).

Key Requirements / Elements Governing Prosecutorial Candour and the Prohibition on “Mythical Rules”

To understand why Mark Geragos’s critique resonated directly with Judge Montaño’s written order, defense counsel and legal analysts must examine five core legal and ethical doctrines that forbid prosecutors from inventing procedural barriers:

  • 1. The Anatomy of a “Mythical Rule” in Secret Proceedings: Lay grand jurors are not lawyers. Under NMSA 1978, § 31-6-7(A), the grand jury relies entirely upon the attending prosecuting attorney to advise them on the law and the proper procedures for calling witnesses. Because defense counsel is barred from speaking or objecting to the prosecutor’s legal instructions inside the grand jury room (NMSA 1978, § 31-6-4(D)), the prosecutor occupies a position of absolute epistemic trust. When grand jurors ask to hear from witnesses who are sitting in the hallway, and the prosecutor invents a “mythical rule” claiming those witnesses cannot be heard without formal subpoenas and delayed screening procedures, the jurors have no way of knowing the prosecutor is misstating the law. As explored in Fraud by Omission: The Duty of Candour and Abuse of Process in Litigation, exploiting an ex parte forum to mislead the fact-finder on basic procedure destroys the legitimacy of the resulting order.
  • 2. The Ethical Mandate of the Prosecutor as a “Minister of Justice” (Rule 16-308 NMRA & LSO Rule 2.1-1): Across both American and Canadian legal ethics, a prosecutor is not an ordinary partisan litigant seeking to win at all costs. Under the Commentary to Rule 16-308 NMRA (tracking ABA Model Rule 3.8) and Canadian professional conduct standards (Upholding Integrity: A Lawyer’s Duty Under Rule 2.1-1), a prosecutor has the responsibility of a minister of justice and not simply that of an advocate. In New Mexico, this ethical duty is elevated into a binding statutory command under NMSA 1978, § 31-6-7(D): “The prosecuting attorney shall act in a fair and impartial manner at all times during grand jury proceedings.” Inventing phantom procedural hurdles to prevent grand jurors from hearing exculpatory testimony is a direct violation of both professional ethics and statutory impartiality.
  • 3. The McMartin Preschool Parallel — Prosecutorial Tunnel Vision and Coached Allegations: Long before the indictment was quashed on October 16, 2026, Mark Geragos and Harvey Levin warned on the 2 Angry Men podcast that the prosecution of Timothy Busfield bore disturbing similarities to the infamous McMartin Preschool prosecution of the 1980s (the longest and most expensive criminal prosecution in American history, where Geragos himself had stood in for a lead defense attorney during a preliminary hearing, and which ended with all charges dropped or acquitted):
    • Contradictory Initial Denials: In Busfield, just as in McMartin, the twin child actors initially told authorities that no inappropriate touching had occurred;
    • Retaliatory Timing and Suggestive Coaching: The allegations surfaced only after the twins were not brought back for the next season of The Cleaning Lady, following suggestive questioning and therapy sessions; and
    • Ignoring Exculpatory Investigations: Before the state ever sought an indictment, Warner Bros. retained an independent outside investigator who interviewed cast and crew and found zero corroboration for the claims. When a prosecutor suffers from tunnel vision, they view independent exculpatory witnesses not as truth-seeking aids, but as obstacles to be blocked via “mythical rules.”
  • 4. The Statutory Prohibition on Unilateral Prosecutorial Gatekeeping (Jones v. Murdoch): What if a New Mexico prosecutor genuinely believes that a target’s proposed witnesses are irrelevant, cumulative, or inadmissible? The New Mexico Supreme Court in Jones v. Murdoch, 2009-NMSC-002, 145 N.M. 473, 200 P.3d 523, and Rule 5-302A(B)(3) NMRA established an explicit, mandatory procedure: the prosecutor must file a formal motion with the grand jury judge, who conducts an independent judicial review. The prosecutor has zero legal authority to bypass the grand jury judge and orally talk the grand jurors out of hearing requested witnesses by citing non-existent subpoena rules. Doing so constitutes a classic Doctrine of Jurisdictional Usurpation.
  • 5. Holding Your Position — How Defense Steadfastness Defeats Prosecutorial Bluffs: Why did the prosecution’s “mythical rules” ultimately collapse in State v. Busfield? Because Busfield and his defense team (Stanton “Larry” Stein and Amanda Fayerberg) refused to fold under the immense pressure of a four-count felony indictment. As detailed in Machiavelli for Lawyers: Hold Your Position and Machiavelli for Lawyers: Challenging Truth, Busfield took the extraordinary step of testifying for three hours before the grand jury, putting the exculpatory witnesses on the record, and ensuring those witnesses were physically waiting outside the grand jury room. By positioning ready and willing witnesses right outside the door, the defense laid a forensic trap: when the prosecutor invented the “subpoena” excuse to keep the door shut, the audio transcript captured an undeniable, fatal violation of NMSA 1978, §§ 31-6-7(D) and 31-6-11(B).

Examples / Application

A. The Subpoena Mirage in the Grand Jury Corridor

During the February 2026 grand jury proceedings in Albuquerque, grand jurors listened to Timothy Busfield testify for three hours regarding the working conditions on the set of The Cleaning Lady and the complete absence of any inappropriate conduct. Following his testimony, grand jurors asked prosecutor Greer Staley to hear from the witnesses Busfield had referenced.

Outside the grand jury room, those witnesses were physically present, available, and willing to testify voluntarily:

  1. The Invented Rule: Rather than opening the door and calling the witnesses in, the prosecutor instructed the grand jurors on a procedure that required formal subpoenas and pre-screening steps before the witnesses could be heard—effectively withholding them from the panel;
  2. Mark Geragos’s Critique: On NewsNation’s Jesse Weber Live, Mark Geragos pointed out the absurdity of telling a grand jury they need a subpoena for a witness who is standing in the hallway begging to testify: “He invented these mythical rules!”; and
  3. The Judicial Ruling: Judge Joseph Montaño agreed completely, ruling on October 16, 2026, that the prosecutor “failed to act in a fair and impartial manner, including the failure to properly instruct the grand jury on the law for calling witnesses and in instructing the grand jurors on a procedure that effectively withheld requested witnesses.”

B. Prosecutorial Blame-Shifting (“Target Steering”) vs. Statutory Rights

When confronted by defense counsel’s June 2026 Motion to Quash, prosecutor Greer Staley attempted to justify his instructions to the grand jury by blaming the defendant. The prosecutor argued that Busfield had used his three-hour grand jury appearance to “excessively” try to “steer the grand jurors” toward hearing from defense witnesses without going through proper pre-hearing target-evidence channels.

Applying NMSA 1978, §§ 31-6-7(D) and 31-6-11(B) alongside The Anatomy of Abuse of Process: Eradicating State and Corporate Malfeasance:

  1. The Target’s Statutory Right: Under NMSA 1978, § 31-6-11(C), a target testifying before a grand jury has every right to explain why the charges are false and to tell the grand jurors which witnesses can corroborate his account;
  2. The Grand Jury’s Independent Prerogative: Once the grand jurors themselves express a desire to hear from those witnesses, the request belongs to the grand jury, not the target; and
  3. No Excuse for Misstating the Law: Even if a prosecutor believes a target spoke too persuasively during his testimony, a prosecutor is never permitted to retaliate by misinstructing the grand jurors on the law governing witness subpoenas. As we analyze in Deception and Good Faith Are the Oil and Water of the Legal Landscape, two perceived wrongs do not create a lawful indictment.

C. The McMartin Preschool Warning: Why Weak Cases Breed “Mythical Rules”

Why would an experienced prosecutor risk a felony indictment by inventing procedural excuses to keep waiting witnesses out of the grand jury room? On 2 Angry Men and NewsNation, Mark Geragos highlighted the underlying evidentiary fragility of the state’s case:

  1. The Uncorroborated Factual Foundation: When Warner Bros. first learned of concerns involving the set of The Cleaning Lady, the studio commissioned an independent investigation that interviewed cast and crew and found zero evidence of misconduct. Furthermore, initial interviews with the twin child actors contained denials of any inappropriate touching, with accusations materializing only after the children were not brought back for the next season;
  2. Fear of the Exculpatory Domino Effect: In a fragile case built on delayed, potentially coached allegations—mirroring the prosecutorial tunnel vision of the McMartin Preschool affair—allowing grand jurors to hear live testimony from set witnesses who were physically present during filming threatened to collapse probable cause on the spot; and
  3. The Fatal Shortcut: Rather than letting the grand jurors hear the witnesses and vote on the merits, the prosecutor used a “mythical rule” to close the door and secure a four-count indictment—a shortcut that ultimately backfired when Judge Montaño threw out the entire indictment on October 16, 2026.

FAQ Section

What did Mark Geragos mean when he said the Busfield prosecutor “invented mythical rules”? Appearing on NewsNation’s Jesse Weber Live following the October 16, 2026 dismissal of Timothy Busfield’s indictment, defense attorney Mark Geragos blasted prosecutor Greer Staley for telling grand jurors they could not hear from exculpatory defense witnesses who were physically waiting outside the grand jury room without first issuing formal subpoenas and completing extra screening procedures. Because a subpoena is only required to compel an unwilling witness—and the grand jury has the statutory authority to hear from willing, available witnesses immediately—the prosecutor’s subpoena requirement was a “mythical rule” invented to keep exculpatory witnesses out of the room.

Why did Mark Geragos and Harvey Levin compare the Timothy Busfield case to the McMartin Preschool prosecution? On the 2 Angry Men podcast, Mark Geragos (who stood in for a lead defense attorney during a preliminary hearing in the historic McMartin Preschool case) and Harvey Levin noted that both cases involved delayed allegations by children who initially denied any inappropriate touching during early interviews, followed by shifting claims after suggestive adult intervention. In Busfield’s case, the allegations surfaced only after the twin child actors were not brought back for the next season of The Cleaning Lady, and after an independent Warner Bros. investigation had already cleared Busfield.

Can a New Mexico prosecutor blame the defendant for “steering” the grand jury toward defense witnesses? No. In opposing Busfield’s Motion to Quash, the prosecutor argued that Busfield had “excessively” tried to steer the grand jurors toward hearing from defense witnesses during his three hours of testimony. Judge Joseph Montaño rejected that excuse: under NMSA 1978, § 31-6-11, a testifying target has the statutory right to identify corroborating witnesses, and once the grand jurors themselves ask to hear those witnesses, the prosecutor must act fairly and impartially under § 31-6-7(D) rather than inventing procedural roadblocks.

What is the proper legal procedure in New Mexico if a prosecutor objects to a target’s grand jury witnesses? Under the New Mexico Supreme Court’s decision in Jones v. Murdoch (2009-NMSC-002) and Rule 5-302A NMRA, a prosecutor cannot unilaterally block target-offered witnesses or talk the grand jury out of hearing them through misleading legal instructions. Instead, the prosecutor must bring the dispute before the neutral grand jury judge, who independently determines whether the evidence is lawful, competent, and relevant.

Why did Mark Geragos say the prosecution should “stick their tail between their collective legs and run away”? Although Judge Montaño’s October 16, 2026 order quashed the indictment without prejudice—meaning the District Attorney could theoretically attempt to re-present the case to a new grand jury—Geragos emphasized that once a new grand jury actually hears from the withheld set witnesses and sees the independent Warner Bros. investigation, the state cannot meet its burden of proof. Re-indicting after being rebuked for structural misconduct would only invite further judicial sanctions and malicious prosecution scrutiny.

Law Cap Value Proposition

We translate complex prerogative remedies like structural mandamus, the prohibition against bootstrapping, and the doctrine of spoliation into actionable, high-impact legal strategy. By insisting on absolute algorithmic and statutory compliance. By insisting on absolute algorithmic and statutory compliance with the Federal Courts Rules, LawCap ensures that the foundational digital evidence—the raw truth of state action—is relentlessly extracted from the shadows and placed under the uncompromising scrutiny of the courts.

About the Founder, Owner, Executive Chair and CEO

Mr. Kevin A. McLean (B.A., J.D., CIM) (he/him) established Law Cap Inc. (“LawCap”) as a global platform for legal strategy, constitutional advocacy, and digital forensics. Operating within Ontario, Mr. McLean utilizes his background as a former barrister and solicitor in British Columbia, alongside credentials as a Chartered Investment Manager with the world famous and accredited Canadian Securities Institute located in Toronto, Ontario (Wellington West Avenue) (having passed in the span of eight months (eight multi-hour exams and ten if including the “mutual funds course” (see: infra): (i) the Canadian Securities Course: (ii) Wealth Management Essentials (with tax compendium modules); (iii) Investment Management Techniques; and (iv) Portfolio Management Techniques (along with although not required for the designation, the (v) the mutual funds course), to apply  a broad and deep based analytical approach to Charter rights litigation and administrative accountability.

His background (the grind and lucky as they come)

Raised between the oceanfront  calm of Spanish Banks in Vancouver and the warmth of Barbados, Mr. McLean grew up with a global perspective shaped by contrast — privilege without entitlement, exposure without complacency. The only father he knew, Mr. John Nugent (BA, JD, MBA, CFA Level I), legally adopted  him at age nine (although ‘introduced’ at age three), marking Mr. McLean’s first direct encounter with litigation involving an absentee biological parent (father). He remains grateful to Mr. Jim Schuman, QC (as he then was), whose guidance during that process left a lasting impression on him.

Learning from the best through “osmosis” like a sponge in the Caribbean Sea

Living in Barbados part of each year throughout the 1980s and 1990s — never fully realizing how fortunate he was — Mr. McLean was introduced early to concepts such as trusts, tax residency requirements, capital gains, seed capital, convertible debentures, preferred shares, and other foundational elements of financial architecture. As his father often reminded him, “Education gets the foot in the door, but you learn and grow by doing — and you are either getting better or getting worse.”

Before his foray into junior mining on the West Coast — a sector many affectionately referred to as the “Wild West” — — Mr. Nugent served as President of Gardiner Group Stock Inc., where he managed more than 4,000 stock brokers, investment advisors, money managers, and analysts prior to the firm’s acquisition by TD Bank (a detail Mr. McLean now finds somewhat ironic). It was during this period that Mr. Nugent met Mr. McLean’s mother, then a stock broker and now a highly accomplished, world‑renowned professor and philanthropist with a Ph.D. The greatest compliment Mr. McLean has ever received came from Mr. Nugent himself, who once told him: “The best talker, salesman, and charismatic person I have ever seen. If he gets some substance, it will be a dangerous package in the real world.” Therein, the seeds of a dangerous truth-telling was born. Refinement and maturity were late blooming qualities – admittedly so.

Educational and Athletic Blessings: the infrastructure to form the public interest litigator

Mr. McLean was privileged and blessed to have attended the prestigious St. George’s School in Vancouver for both elementary and high school. When he realized that his then‑dream of representing Canada in a singular sport was becoming a reality, he transitioned to the Sports and Arts Program at Magee Secondary School, where he could begin classes an hour early and avoid elective and physical‑education requirements. This structure allowed him to train at an elite level, ultimately reaching number two in Canada in the U18 division and competing globally as a member of the Canadian National Tennis Team. He graduated from Magee Secondary School as the top student, earning the Principal’s List distinction with a 4.0 GPA in all courses.

Mr. Kevin A. McLean (BA, JD, CIM) carries on the Spanish Banks (Vancouver) running excellence tradition into the field of law nationwide (Canadian Bar Association 5 KM race)

While running a 15‑minute 5K at age 30 in the Canadian Bar Association race was an immense athletic accomplishment, Mr. McLean cherishes it most because he felt he was protecting the turf where his father had given him the privilege of growing up. His second most cherished athletic memory was winning the five‑kilometre race for the entire high school in Grade 9.

His earliest remains hitting two free throws with one second left — down by one — in Grade 7 to win the Vancouver city championship for St. George’s against St. Patrick’s. His earliest remains hitting two free throws with one second left — down by one — in Grade 7 to win the Vancouver city championship for St. George’s against St. Patrick’s.

The “McLean Name”: from the Highlands of Scotland and ode to William Wallace

The McLean name is Scottish, carried forward from Mr. McLean’s grandfather, Mr. Angus Alexander McLean, P. Eng. — the source of Mr. McLean’s  middle name. Angus was married to Mrs. Margaret McLean, once the top tennis player in Canada in the 1940s and an accomplished field‑hockey athlete. She tragically passed away from cancer before Mr. She tragically passed away from cancer before Mr. McLean could meet her, though he has always understood why sport came  naturally to him — the long stride, the biomechanics, and the competitive instinct. Angus suffered from macular degeneration, leaving him fully blind at age 60, and later Parkinson’s disease. He passed away in 2002, but Mr. McLean visited him every summer in Salmon Arm (having been born in Smithers, B.C.), often accompanied by his paternal grandmother, Ms. McLean visited him every summer in Salmon Arm (having been born in Smithers, B.C.), often accompanied by his paternal grandmother, Ms. Helen Elizabeth Lane (née Allsop), a pilot well into her 80s who passed away in 2012 and remains his favourite woman of all time. Mr. McLean often reflects on his grandfather’s resilience, noting: “I never heard him complain once — and if we could all be so grateful to be alive.” Through an eccentric yet uniquely detailed family tree, Mr. McLean learned that the McLean surname traces back to the 1300s in Scotland alongside none other than Sir William Wallace (later sensationalized by Mel Gibson in Braveheart). It thus became unsurprising to him why he has always been so staunchly stubborn and assertive about one’s rights, no matter the circumstance.

The Most Unique of Skill Sets at age 43 (March 25, 1983) (a “True Aries”)

Intersections of Law and Cryptography

The professional trajectory of Mr. McLean is defined by the deconstruction of unauthorized surveillance networks and the exposure of systemic irregularities.

  • Forensic Capabilities: His forensic data skills have frequently addressed complex anomalies within administrative and appellate contexts.
  • Blockchain Analysis: Following a 2014 incident involving an unauthorized RAM dump, Mr. McLean acquired proficiency in hexadecimal language to parse a one-million-page compressed architectural record.
  • Cross-Chain Tracking: He successfully traced unauthorized data disclosures across the Ethereum blockchain in Switzerland and EVM-compatible networks, such as the Binance Smart Chain (BSC).
  • Judicial Evidence: These findings provided significant blockchain evidence before the Honourable Justice Bowden of the British Columbia Supreme Court (BCSC) in December 2015 which was withheld from the BCSC (see: McLean v. Law Society of British Columbia, 2015 BCSC 661; McLean v. Law Society of British Columbia, 2015 BCSC 1431; McLean v. Law Society of British Columbia, 2015 BCSC 1972; McLean v Law Society of British Columbia, 2017 BCSC 987; Law Society of British Columbia (Re), 2018 BCIPC 37 (author was the successful unnamed respondent therein); and McLean v. Attorney General of British Columbia, 2019 BCCA 133 [defeated the AGBC at the Court of Appeal, no leave to appeal by AGBC]; and by change of legislation in 2024, the author has become the first to ever defeat in any motion, hearing and in finality a professional and regulatory association or body at all and in the field of public interest litigation involving the breach of Charter rights of members and clients of members

Adversity and Resilience

After transitioning to e-commerce ventures in the health and wellness sector in 2015, Mr. McLean navigated and is navigating as a result of CAT impairments (physical in nature but with mind-body connection) significant extralegal challenges and physical trauma.

  • Physical Recovery: Following a severe vehicular incident on August 31, 2022, which resulted in devastating spinal injuries, he maintains a disciplined daily regimen involving specialized orthotics and minimalist biomechanics to manage his recovery.
  • Procedural Strategy: Despite physical hardship, Mr. McLean utilized an extensive command of procedural law during a multi-jurisdictional detention to secure his release by demanding adherence to Criminal Code protocols, specifically Form 2 and Form 7 requirements.

Litigation and Procedural Discovery

This commitment to legal redress led to the discovery of a notable event in Canadian legal history: the post-facto falsification of a six-page “Information Package” (footer CCO-2–000-1).

  • Case Comparison: While historical precedents such as R. v. Silva (Quebec 2019/2020) involved the unauthorized use of a judicial stamp, the wholesale falsification of an entire six-page package is considered unprecedented.
  • Ongoing Oversight: Further irregularities, nullities (jurisdictional in nature) discovered involving various levels of the judiciary remain subjects of scrutiny and formal complaint.

Outside Interests: Athletics and mental health (lifelong journeys – not destinations)

Mr. Kevin A. McLean (BA, JD, CIM) has always lived life at full speed — sometimes literally. He still holds the record for the fastest five‑kilometre time ever run by a lawyer in the Canadian Bar Association’s annual 5K race, clocking an extraordinary 15:05 in one of the years he won the event. Before entering law, Kevin competed on the Canadian National Tennis Team (U16 and U18), representing Canada at the world‑renowned Orange Bowl — the largest junior tennis tournament on the planet. Winning a round there placed him among the top 20 junior players globally in his age category.

His athletic career continued at The Ohio State University, where he played NCAA tennis on scholarship beginning in 2001. To this day, Kevin remains a proud Buckeye, a donor to the university, and a familiar (or intentionally hard‑to‑find) face on eight or so College Football Saturdays each year in Columbus, Ohio. He still enjoys the tradition of “Kegs and Eggs,” though for him it’s now just the eggs — Kevin is a long‑retired drinker who speaks openly and gratefully about the role evidence‑based treatment including medication for ADHD played in transforming his life. He recommends (but does not advise) anyone struggling with any such symptoms to seek professional help from a qualified psychiatrist.

Kevin is single, unmarried, and a non‑parent — not out of absence, but out of purpose. As he likes to say, he is “married to the game,” and he believes “the public deserves it.” His work, his advocacy, and his commitment to building accessible legal knowledge platforms reflect that ethos: disciplined, service‑oriented, and driven by a sense of responsibility larger than himself.

DISCLAIMER (generally)

It is strictly mandated that no constituent element of the information promulgated herein shall be erroneously construed as the provision of formal legal advisement; concurrently, the dissemination of such documentation ipso facto precludes the formation of any solicitor-client, attorney-client, or analogous professional relationship (the “Professional Relationship”). All articulated postulations, wherein they remain unanchored to demonstrable and objective empirical data, constitute the exclusive, prima facie perspectives of the underlying commercial enterprise (the “Commercial Enterprise”). Furthermore, all disseminated publications are incontrovertibly shielded by established jurisprudential defences (the “Jurisprudential Defences”), encompassing justification, fair comment promulgated strictly in good faith, and the rigorous execution of a moral, ethical, statutory, prescribed, and common law duty, coupled with recognized journalistic protections as elucidated by the Supreme Court of Canada in Grant v Torstar Corp, 2009 SCC 61 (the “Grant Decision”).

Potential Lawsuits (generally and this specific article, post or blog): Waiver of Personal Service and Cautionary Admonition

Regarding any subjective apprehension of a nascent cause of action within the jurisdiction of Ontario grounded in defamation, or any alternative tortious liability implicating this digital publication platform (the “Publication Platform”), the aforementioned commercial enterprise, or the individual proprietor, Kevin Alexander McLean, B.A., J.D., C.I.M. (the “Proprietor”, “CEO”, “Owner”, “Editor”)—who formerly practiced as a barrister and solicitor in the jurisdiction of British Columbia and maintains the professional designation of Chartered Investment Manager—it is unequivocally mandated that such grievances be addressed pursuant to the rigorous strictures of Canadian tort jurisprudence.

Should litigation be commenced against the commercial enterprise or the proprietor pertaining to allegations of defamation, irrespective of the underlying judiciousness of the antecedent legal advisement, service of process shall be accepted exclusively via electronic transmission at the previously designated electronic mailing addresses, thereby effectuating a binding waiver of the requirement for effectuating personal service. Notwithstanding this procedural concession, an unequivocal reservation of rights is maintained in limine for the explicit purpose of seeking security for costs, pursuing the summarily striking of the pleadings via summary judgment—strictly distinguished from a summary trial—and applying for elevated cost awards on a substantial indemnity or full indemnity basis against the initiating party in either a personal or corporate capacity. Furthermore, overarching rights are expressly reserved to seek interlocutory and injunctive relief, alongside the commencement of counterclaims seeking substantive damages for multifarious tortious infractions, expressly including the tort of abuse of process, and concurrently seeking remedial measures against any retained legal representatives. The prerogative to freely publish commentary delineating the procedural evolution of any such litigation, constituting public acta, is similarly and irrevocably reserved.

Given that causes of action sounding in defamation must be adjudicated before a superior court possessing inherent jurisdiction—specifically, a tribunal constituted pursuant to section 96 of the Constitution Act, 1867 (the “Section 96 Court”)—any party initiating such proceedings irrevocably attorns generally to the jurisdiction of the Province of Ontario and to that specific judicial echelon at first instance. Judicial resources remain intrinsically finite; their utilization necessitates the expenditure of the public treasury across multiple governmental strata. This encompasses the executive branch, financed by the provincial government via the taxation of the citizenry; the judicial branch, remunerated by the federal government; and tertiary municipal expenditures whereby auxiliary judicial officers are perpetually contracted through municipal law enforcement agencies, functioning effectively as a government institution (the “Government Institution”), such as the Toronto Police Services Board.

While the fundamental right to articulate dissenting opinions is rigorously respected, and electronic correspondence remains welcomed for the exclusive purpose of identifying substantive inaccuracies necessitating amelioration, it is unambiguously declared that no financial indemnification shall be disbursed, as no valid cause of action in defamation or otherwise is recognized to subsist. Consequently, should the instigation of formal litigation remain the finalized trajectory, the requisite tariff of fees must be remitted in strict accordance with the attendant regulations promulgated under the Administration of Justice Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. A.4. Subsequently, discrete copies of the formally issued—as rigidly distinguished from merely filed—statement of claim (the “Statement Of Claim”) must be concurrently served upon all respective respondents, whereupon subsequent procedural mechanisms shall be accordingly activated. Any deviation from these prescribed procedural modalities, constituting a direct contravention of statutory mandates, the equitable doctrines of fairness, or the strictures delineated within the Rules of Civil Procedure, R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 194 (the “Procedural Rules”), shall categorically not be countenanced as a remediable irregularity. Rather, such defective origination or procedural non-compliance shall be definitively construed as an absolute nullity, functioning ultra vires the initiating party’s jurisprudential authority, and effectuating a compulsory reversion to the status quo ante.
