Dustin LaFortune

Archive for August, 2010

Tonight, some information posted on CBC.ca was unauthorized and we are concerned that it could be potentially damaging to Dustin’s case. The reporter in question – Dani Mario -  lied about her intentions and purposely asked questions known to not be allowed and proceeded to publish the answers instead of gracefully and professionally leaving those out. We are trying to have that information removed because the last thing we want to happen is Paxton to be let out on a mere technicality. The police have been informed.

Dani was informed that she was NOT permitted to have cameras with her at what was supposed to be an informal “simply meet Dustin” meeting. She then proceeded to insist to Dustin’s friend/helper that everything had been cleared. Many of the questions she asked had to be stopped mid-question because they were inappropriate. Dani either ignored the stop-requests or proceeded to try and ask the questions in a different way. Unfortunately (in this situation) Dustin is a wonderfully talkative and personable fellow. He shared more than he should have as well as specifics that should have been VERY clear to Dani that would be part of the case.

Dani and her Producer Jill have been told in no uncertain terms that the article is a complete breech of trust and MUST be removed. Yes, it has “already been aired” but it CANNOT be aired again and the online references can – and MUST – be removed.

If anyone reading this knows of who is in an authoritative enough position to make the removal of that article happen, please have them contact me ASAP.

In light of this, there will be NO further media access to Dustin unless I (Jodie) or his mother (Renee) are present. We regret to have to take this action, but this is far too important an issue.

If anyone would like to voice their concern to CBC, their contact page can be found here.

A couple of days ago, Dustin Ward Paxton was arrested. There are no words to describe the relief.
