PINHEAD OF THE WEEK
Mike McCourt plowed through a plethora of putzs to find the one most worthy of becoming this week's Pinhead of the Week. Congratulations Ontario Court Judge Howard Chisvin, you're this week's Pinhead! Judge Chisvin threw a temper tantrum when a Crown Prosecutor was 1 minute 27 seconds late for court, and threw out every case on the docket including a spouse charged with domestic abuse and a couple of defendants who had already pleaded guilty and were waiting for sentencing.
