A man who has threatened and tormented his ex-wife despite convictions, jail time, and a restraining order — simultaneously insulting the courts and B.C.’s attorney-general — will get “limited” support for one of his latest appeals.
In a difficult-to-fathom decision, B.C. Court of Appeal Justice Gregory Fitch agreed “in the interests of justice” that a lawyer can be appointed to assist Patrick Henry Fox, who is behind one of the worst examples of vile Internet revenge.
The appointed lawyer will evaluate the proposed grounds of appeal from Fox’s conviction for breaching an Aug. 19, 2020, probation order.
Fitch concluded Fox did not need help with his sentence appeal, partly because he gets out this Thursday after his latest stint of incarceration.
