Alberta turkey farm invader in court: Why does Maxwell Ming Mah have a Toronto lawyer?
The likely ring leader of the Turkey Bandits who raided a pacifist Hutterite colony's Jumbo Valley Turkey Farm in southern Alberta to stage a sit-in before taking off with some stolen birds in 2019 has retained a lawyer from Toronto.
Today it was announced that the Doug Schweitzer's Crown prosecution would proceed summarily, meaning the bandits would not get more than 6 months in prison if convicted.
Maxwell Ming Mah, who was found to have been a Global Edmonton employee at the time of the invasion, was the only accused to appear in court today. The others were represented by locally retained counsel.
I’m a proud Albertan and this story disgusts me to my core. If justice is not brought against these radicals, I think our farmers are going to continue to be harassed — but that’s also why it’s imperative to keep exposing them, their funding streams and their alleged crimes.
So, if you value our reporting, can you help us out? Unlike Justin Trudeau's CBC, we don't receive a dime in government funding — we rely on generous donations from our viewers to produce original, honest, and hard-hitting journalism. So, if you can, please click here to keep us going. To report on vital stories like this one, we need all of the help we can get! Thank you.
