He got off with not getting a criminal record, what a joke!
It IS a bit of a light sentence. He pleaded guilty. A conditional sentence means that if he obeys his probation terms and attends counseling, he will have no FORMAL criminal record at the end of the probation period. So he will be able to travel back and fore to the US and other counties. For a guy who seemed absolutely nailed, with a complainant who was eager to testify, it seems like he got off on the easy side.

There is always a lot that happens in a plea deal that the general public don't know though.

Oagre, again I'm just speculating, but IMHO, Mulligan is probably happy to have this ordeal, behind her, as well?? It's interesting how Mulligan used her almost 20K twitter followers, to further damage Bullard's reputation. What I mean, is that Mulligan (through her friend Avery Haines), made public her full victim impact statement, when the judge told Mulligan and her lawyer to edit it, during the actual court hearing.

Oagre, I'm just wondering who Bullard wants to sue?? Bullard keeps talking about civil court?? Bullard's own twitter acct, is somewhat cryptic on this issue??

IMHO, I don't think Bullard's sentence was that light, as he did pay a "high price", according to the judge. He did lose a "cushy" job he had with Newstalk 1010. When Bullard, was a radio host on newstalk 1010, he got at lot of side gigs, because of his radio presence. I'm sure a lot of those "side gigs", have now dried up for Bullard. As usual, just my opinion!!
It brings us to whether there was anything fake about Mulligan's story. We won't know unless Bullard makes more explicit statements. And yes, his life is wrecked. And I'm sure that was taken into account.

Again, I don't know why Mulligan was told to edit her VWS by the judge and whether she is in contempt of court potentially by releasing it through a friend.

Bullard cannot sue for malicious prosecution if he pleaded guilty to Mulligan's complaint. (I would have to check if he in fact pleaded guilty to a breach probation instead.) He could potentially sue for libel if the VWS published on Twitter was demonstrably false.

All statements made in court are protected from libel and slander suits. You can say anything in court without being sued. (Of course, the judge can hit you with perjury or contempt of court). Discussing the case outside the courtroom can get you sued for slander.

I just checked The Star article. Bullard pleaded to 1 count of harassing phone calls and 2 counts of breaching court orders. The plea to a harassment count pretty much means he can't sue her for malicious prosecution. And it would be difficult for him to sue for slander and say: "Yes, I admitted harassing her by doing this stuff, but she says I did other stuff too and I didn't." The judge will just roll his / her eyes.

...wondering who Bullard wants to sue?? Bullard keeps talking about civil court??...
He seems to really hate that the words stalker and stalking were used in relation to him, along with being irrationally angry at all the media who reported on his irrationally angry behaviour over the last couple of years.

From your link:

The toughest part was when I came home from the police station after Bullard’s arrest to tell my daughters that police suggested we should move
I have a hard time believing this though. Why would cops suggest she should move??
That makes no sense, because it implies cops are either unwilling or powerless to stop Bullard.

If it is true then Mike is a total piece of shit.
Harrassing a woman (with kids) to the point she feels she has to move is beyond the pale

If Bullard is harassing her from payphones, then the cops can't devote the time and man power to surveilling him 24/7.

They did get CCTV video of him from a payphone apparently.

Look, when a woman is getting harrassed to the point where she feels she might have to move, and the cops are encouraging her to move, maybe Toronto Police needs to spend less time writing speeding tickets, and more time "protecting and serving".

And yes, I got another ticket yesterday, thats why I'm venting :yell:

Based on this curbside interview with a reporter from his old company he doesn't seem that repentant with his plea deal or his sentence.

https://twitter.com/NEWSTALK1010/status/1005207756352172034
Wow.

He's obviously pretty torqued up over the whole ordeal.

But one thing is confusing to me.....if she is as much a piece of work as he implies here in this video, then why did he pursue her so much? (Does not sound like that is in dispute.)

I understand 19 year old and 20 something year old boys getting all Lloyd Dobbler over a female when they are dumped. But a guy his age? Come the fuck on buddy. No woman is worth getting your ass arrested for. Bullard deserves what he got based on general stupidity on his part.

BTW, Lloyd would get his ass arrested today and his life would be over.

Excellent post. I'm just guessing that IMHO, Mulligan is both a smart lady, who is also really good looking. Obviously Bullard, was attracted to both her looks and intelligence. In other words, Mulligan is a much better looking lady, then Bullard is a guy---LOL

With that being said, this thread teaches me a valuable lesson. When a lady says she's no longer interested, then just move on. Not only did Bullard lose his news talk 1010 hosting job, because of this fiasco. Also, Bullard's legal bills, must be through the roof??
Gotta love the twisted opinions of some. Yes. Please do save your own ass by stoping when woman says she is not interested. Don't do it out of respect for her saying she is not interested. Just do it because you may lose out on a lot because she will clearly turn it into some drama fiasco. LOL.

There's nothing worse than meddlers who poke their nose into the justice system and try and get some sort of personal mileage out of denouncing it.

Some of what this commentator says might be true - sort of. But I doubt that the crown was anywhere near as unscrupulous or the charges anywhere near as flimsy as she claims.

If there is a neutral commentary out there without an agenda to "prove the system is broken", I would welcome a chance to hear it.

That video is amazingly stupid, and looks like something he paid to get made because he couldn't get anyone else to publicly back him. Oh -- it was just his technical incompetence in using his smart phone that led to all those calls and messages he sent to Mulligan after being ordered to stop? Really? How does that explain him repeatedly going to the payphone and calling her, until the police surveillance caught him? Or then hiring the private investigator to go to her home to harass her? The police and prosecutor repeatedly arrested him and forced him to plead guilty for no apparent reason other than they inexplicably just don't like him?
It is very dishonest, and actually makes him look even more psychotic with the revelation that he overdosed and called Mulligan when he was being taken to a hospital (yet somehow insists it was not a suicide attempt?). If he's not going to be sent to prison, he sounds like he might be dangerous to himself and others and maybe should be under 24-hour supervision.

Fair enough, but why did the judge dismiss most of Bullard's charges then?? Also, it seemed from the transcripts, that the judge wasn't overly enthusiastic about the way the prosecutor handled the case.

As i said before, I have no legal knowledge whatsoever. I'm just a huge Bullard fan, who wishes he was still working as a host on newstalk 1010.
And this is why assholes like him get away with abusing women for so long. You are a fan of a stalker??? Of a person who harassed a woman and her children????

And how do you NOT know that it is common practice for lawyers to negotiate and for someone who has multiple charges, for some to be dropped to focus on the more important or the ones better able to get the proper sentence for. Which is why you often see a person charged with different charges for the same offence.

For example, being found with an illegal gun could have you up on 5 different criminal charges which will get brought down to one by the judge that is what you will be sentenced on.

Nothing different here.

Still blows my mind that people like you totally ignore his unacceptable behaviour because you liked the sound of his voice on a fucking radio show.

Yes, but the judge doesn't think that Mike Bullard was a stalker. Isn't it the judge's job, to determine right from wrong??
No. It is not. The role of the judge is to listen to both sides but that doesn't mean that there isn't shit that happens between the lawyers. Between the police. Like really??? Are you that daft????

I don't think you are. I think you want this women to be a false accuser so you can have your boy back on the radio. Instead you are supporting a person who has been abusive to a woman and her children. Good job!!! You should be so proud of yourself.
