Canada Supreme Court Orders New Trial for Non-vaccinating Parents Accused of Son’s Death – New Evidence Points to Cover-up of Medical Malpractice
by Health Impact News/MedicalKidnap.com Staff
The Supreme Court of Canada issued a stunning reversal this week in a case that could have far-reaching implications for parental rights. David and Collet Stephen were convicted last year of “failing to provide the necessaries of life” when their son Ezekiel died.
On Tuesday, May 15, 2018, justices in the highest court in the land deliberated for only a few minutes before issuing their unanimous decision. The Court could have waited months to render a decision, but Chief Justice Richard Wagner said that the consensus was that it was “appropriate to release the decision as soon as possible.”
Thus they gave a rare verdict from the bench on the same day that arguments were heard. Justice Michael Moldaver read the decision, stating that they would:
allow the appeal, quash the convictions, and order a new trial. (Source.)
According to a summary of the decision on the Supreme Court of Canada website, the justices found that the original:
trial judge’s charge to the jury was confusing, misleading and deficient in describing a key element of the offence, and that the trial judge did not properly instruct the jury on the fault element or the mens rea of the offence. (Source.)
David Stephan told Health Impact News that this was “definitely good news.” This puts their case basically back at square 1. While they are not looking forward to going through trial again, they are hopeful that they will be vindicated.

A great deal of new information has surfaced since the trial 2 years ago, and it is apparent that there has been a massive cover-up, involving doctors, hospital staff, government officials, and the media. David said:
We knew that there were elements of cover-up, but we couldn’t even fathom the significant amount of cover-up on all levels.
Almost from the beginning, the pro-vaccine lobby has seemed intent on blaming Ezekiel’s death on the lack of a vaccine. People involved on every level worked together to paint a false narrative of events.
The grieving parents were brutalized in the court of public opinion as wild distortions of the truth were propagated by the media. They were brutalized as well in the courtroom as witnesses lied, evidence was suppressed, and facts of the events were twisted to accuse the parents of harming their child.
There are parts of the story that the Stephans are only just now learning. Evidence is surfacing that support the parents’ version of events. Other evidence is coming out revealing that the corruption, malpractice, and wrongdoing go far deeper than anyone could have imagined.
The irony is that, had the state left the parents alone to grieve the loss of their son instead of blaming them for something they didn’t do, the Stephans would never have suspected how deep all of this goes.
As bereaved parents often do, they were busy beating themselves up with “could haves” and “should haves.” They likely would never have thought to question the hospital and doctors’ version of what happened. It was only as they were forced to defend themselves that they recognized that there was much more than they were being told.
