In 12 minutes of that court hearing in St. “Obviously, there’s something amiss here.” “I think there’s a serious situation going on here,” Justice of the Peace Whelan says. No one can tell Justice of the Peace Whelan how long Jamie was in hospital, why he was taken from the hospital, whether medical instructions came from the hospital to the jail, when he last saw his lawyer, what his lawyer wants to do about the matter, what the Crown wants to do about the matter and what kind of medical treatment he is getting in jail. “No you can’t,” Jamie says, then adds something indiscernible. “I can’t answer that question,” Keating tells the justice of the peace. “Does the Crown have any input into this?” Whelan asks. “No, no, stay in the chair,” the first officer tells Jamie. “What I’m trying to understand is why his release wasn’t varied to allow him to stay at the hospital. Given the condition of the man on the video screen, the information alarms and confuses the justice of the peace Whelan. “There was a surety revocation in regard to his matter,” Keating continues, “and he was arrested at the psychiatric hospital over the weekend where he was a voluntary patient at that time.”Ī tumble of words come from Jamie’s mouth. Keating explains how Jamie High ended up in jail. “He’s been seen by our health-care people, yeah,” the correction officer says. “Indiscernible,” notes the court transcript. Jamie interjects, consonants and vowels that make up no words. “Is he getting medical attention?” Whelan asks again. doesn’t respond to any of our direction and, so I don’t know. . .” the officer continues. “Is he getting medical attention?” Justice of the Peace Susan Whelan asks. He’s in a wheelchair right now because he’s apparently incoherent, unwilling to stand by himself and the only way that we’re able to transport him to present him to you was to place him in a wheelchair. One of the two correctional officers guarding Jamie weighs in. The printed transcript of the court hearing describes the fragments as “indiscernible.” “No,” he says with a short exhalation of breath.įragments of sounds return from Jamie’s mouth.

This man, Jamie High, must think he’s on the phone, that notion a bit of flotsam surfacing from a good life now drowning. In the middle of a jumble of sounds, he slurs, “I’ll call you right back.” Parse out his pleading words in the growing cacophony of correctional officers and lawyers and court officials talking through and around and over each other and him. Slow down the sounds on the audio recording of the court hearing. He’s taking the thoughts in his head and he’s dragging them into his mouth and working them around on his tongue to get them out in the right order, but they keep tumbling and mumbling out and no one can understand the words.
