Canadian Murderer Allowed To Cross Border With Bloody Chainsaw
Man With Bloody Chainsaw Let Into U.S.
He was later charged with murder in Canada On April 25, Gregory Despres arrived at the U.S.-Canadian border crossing at Calais, Maine, carrying a homemade sword, a hatchet, a knife, brass knuckles and a chain saw stained with what appeared to be blood. U.S. customs agents confiscated the weapons and fingerprinted Despres. Then they let him into the United States. The following day, a gruesome scene was discovered in Despres’ hometown of Minto, New Brunswick: The decapitated body of a 74-year-old country musician named Frederick Fulton was found on his kitchen floor. The man’s head was in a pillow case under a kitchen table. His common-law wife was discovered stabbed to death in a bedroom. Despres, 22, immediately became a suspect because of a history of violence between him and his neighbors, and he was arrested April 27 after police in Massachusetts saw him wandering down a highway in a sweat shirt with red and brown stains. He is now in jail in Massachusetts on murder charges, awaiting an extradition hearing next month. At a time when the United States is tightening its borders, how could a man toting what appeared to be a bloody chain saw be allowed into the country? Questioned For Two Hours At Border Bill Anthony, a spokesman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said the Canada-born Despres could not be detained because he is a naturalized U.S. citizen and was not wanted on any criminal charges on the day in question. Anthony said Despres was questioned for two hours before he was released. During that time, he said, customs agents employed “every conceivable method” to check for warrants or see if Despres had broken any laws in trying to re-enter the country. “Nobody asked us to detain him,” Anthony said. “Being bizarre is not a reason to keep somebody out of this country or lock them up. ... We are governed by laws and regulations, and he did not violate any regulations.” Anthony conceded it “sounds stupid” that a man wielding what appeared to be a bloody chain saw could not be detained. But he added: “Our people don’t have a crime lab up there. They can’t look at a chain saw and decide if it’s blood or rust or red paint.” Assault And Threat Charges In Canada Sgt. Gary Cameron of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police would not comment on whether it was, in fact, blood on the chain saw. On the same day Despres crossed the border, he was due in a Canadian court to be sentenced on charges he assaulted and threatened to kill Fulton’s son-in-law, Frederick Mowat, last August. Mowat told police Despres had been bothering his father-in-law for the past month. When Mowat confronted him, Despres allegedly pulled a knife, pointed it at Mowat’s chest and said he was “going to get you all.” Police believe the dispute between the neighbors boiled over in the early-morning hours of April 24, when Despres allegedly broke into Fulton’s home and stabbed the couple. Fulton’s daughter found her father’s body two days later. His car was later found in a gravel pit on a highway leading to the U.S. border. Despres hitchhiked to the border crossing. After the bodies were found on the afternoon of April 26, police set up roadblocks and sent out a bulletin that identified Despres as a “person of interest” in the slayings, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Mental Competence Questioned The bulletin caught the eye of a Quincy police dispatcher because it gave the suspect’s Massachusetts driver’s license number, missing a character. The dispatcher plugged in numbers and letters until she found a last known address for Despres in Mattapoisett. She alerted police in that town, and an officer quickly spotted Despres. In state court the next day, Despres told a judge that he is affiliated with NASA and was on his way to a Marine Corps base in Kansas at the time of his arrest. After the case was transferred to federal court, Despres’ attorney, Michael Andrews, questioned whether his client is mentally competent. Fulton’s friends in Minto, a village of 2,700 people, told the New Brunswick Telegraph-Journal that he was a popular musician, a guitarist known as the “Chet Atkins of Minto” and a 2001 inductee in the Minto Country Music Wall of Fame.

What kills me is that they couldnt tell if it was blood, or paint or rust...
Do Canadian's have probable cause? Because i would think rust would be obvious, it's usually much more orange, and if it was paint..... well fuck, why would a chainsaw have fresh paint on the chain? it's not like we dont have more than our fair share of dumb cops in America, but godamn. "A twitchy fruitcake with a dirty chainsaw, eh? well, better to err on the side of caution... Man, that guy looked like a psycho, didnt he? Wouldnt that be weird if it turned out he killed someone with that?"

Um ok WTF? What kind of stupid brainless dumb muther fucker, let that son of a motherless bitch into the states? I mean come on, a hatchet, sword and a bloody chainsaw.
I can just imagine the conversation betwen the suspect and the US agent. Agent: "Well what's with the chainsaw?" Suspect: "Oh that? I um... I uh.. use it to cut up chickens." Agent: "Oh really, um ok. Let me just check one thing out." Agent fingeprints suspect. Agent: "Well everything seems to check out. Welcome to the United States." Suspect: "Yay! time to Kill somemore!"

And the crazy sumbitch is back in the news:
'I wish to fire my attorney' A Minto man accused of slaughtering his elderly neighbours pleaded with a judge Thursday to let him fire his defence lawyer. Gregory Allan Despres, 23, faces two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Frederick Franklin Fulton, 74, and Veronica (Verna) Decarie, 70. The couple was found dead at home in Minto on April 26 by Fulton's daughter. Both had been stabbed repeatedly, and Fulton had been decapitated. Despres was back in court Thursday so a psychiatric report - about whether or not Despres was suffering from a mental disorder that might exempt him from criminal responsibility - could be filed with the court. As the proceedings convened, Despres stood and said he was having problems with defence lawyer Randy Maillet. "Again, I wish to fire my attorney for difference of opinion," he told Court of Queen's Bench Justice Paulette Garnett. The murder suspect said he and Maillet disagreed on several matters over his defence. "That's between you and your attorney," Garnett said. As the brief court appearance came to a close, Despres again asked the court how he'd go about firing Maillet and retaining new counsel. As she was exiting the courtroom, the judge said Despres would have to talk to Maillet about that. "He's not going to help me (expletive deleted) fire him," Despres said. "(Expletive deleted) legal system." He was frustrated, and a small group of Fulton family members laughed. "Don't (expletive deleted) talk to me," Despres said, though it was not clear if he said that to the small group in the gallery or to Maillet. Just before the judge entered the courtroom, Despres sat quietly but appeared to be seething with anger. His jaw was clenched, and he glowered at the Fulton family members and pointed at them. Among the small group was Frederick Mowat, Fulton's grandson and the victim of an assault for which Despres has yet to be sentenced. As for the psychiatric report, Crown prosecutor Cameron Gunn said the details in the report will be for the jury to decide. Maillet agreed and requested that a ban on publication of the report be instituted. Garnett granted the motion. No indication was given regarding the results of the psychiatric assessment. A previous assessment indicated Despres is fit to stand trial, but that has nothing to do with a possible exemption from criminal responsibility due to a possible mental disorder. Garnett remanded Despres back into custody pending his jury trial, which is set to begin Sept. 5 and last for five weeks. Michael Richardson, Fulton's nephew and a family spokesman, said he's not concerned that a possible search for a new defence lawyer would delay the case. He said there's plenty of time before September for a new lawyer to get up to speed, if it's needed at all. "It's been a waiting game for a year now," he said. "The family's having a hard time." Reporters asked if the approaching one-year anniversary of the murders was generating more thoughts of Fulton and Decarie in the hearts and minds of loved ones. "It doesn't take an anniversary," Richardson said. "We think about them every day." He said the small group of family members laughed at Despres to show him he doesn't intimidate them. He said they take no satisfaction in seeing him struggle for attention in court. "I'd rather see him put to death," Richardson said. Despres was Fulton and Decarie's next-door neighbour on Slope Road in Minto. There had been friction between Despres and the Fulton family before the killings. Despres fled Canada after the murders but was stopped at the U.S. border crossing in Calais, carrying a variety of weapons, including a chainsaw, a homemade sword, a hatchet and brass knuckles. He was granted entry into the United States but was arrested the night of April 26 in Massachusetts after the bodies were discovered.
