He was appointed Director of Legal Services for the criminal justice branch in Victoria and served in that capacity from 2003 to 2008. <br /><br />For his duties he was the 4th highest paid Liberal appointee in 2007/08 making $251,817. In February 2008 he was appointed o the Supreme Court of BC to sit in New Westminster. Now, I'm guessing he would have been appointed by Mr. Oppal, who remains Attorney General for a short time more. <br /><br />Methinks Gaul is a guy who knows where a whole BUNCH of skeletons lie waiting to pop out and one might wonder what role he may have played in keeping them stashed away. I bet he would make a splendid witness in the Basi-Virk trials (criminal, sure to be followed by civil). He's been a faithful servant to his masters and he's been well rewarded for it. <br /><br />Gaul named B.C.

Sort of reminds me of the tow specialist appearing at the investigation of the Polish fellw at YVY. One says he had no knowledge of multiple tazering, saw no marks, and besides tazering didn't kill him. The other talks about multipile tazering marks and stated the obvious. The man after being tazered once fell to the floor in pain holding onto the are of his chest over his heart. Way off track here, but it seems truth is in the ey of the beholder, and if the beholder is there for money, well who knows who is putting a twist on the issues.Anyone see Kinsella lately?DPLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-46919227838385713752009-04-30T13:19:00.000-07:002009-04-30T13:19:00.000-07:00Anon,
