Well Zylka, although it has no bearing on your personal case, I can see one good side to the Canadian way of doing things.
Here in the UK a lot of anti-social small crimes get dropped, because the defendants (or their thug accomplices) go round to the witnesses and get heavy with them.
That's no point in doing that with the Canadian system - so although it's failed in your case, it may have succeeded in a lot of other cases.
I really, really wouldn't bother saying anything in court other than what is ncessary. It will only have a negative impact. It might make you feel better for 3 seconds - and you'll probably regret it for the rest of your life.
Your call though.
