This Was Johnathon
In November 2003, Johnathon was beaten, thrown down the basement
stairs in his Toronto home and stabbed 71 times -- his throat
slashed. Yesterday, his mother sobbed as her only remaining child
was handed a life sentence for the murder. Another teen, nicknamed
Vampire Boy, was also sentenced as an adult for manslaughter
By Timothy
APPLEBY, Armina
LIGAYA and Hayley
MICK, Page A12
Toronto -- For close to three years he was the 12-year-old Toronto
boy with no face and only one name, cut and stabbed so ferociously
that he drowned in his own blood.
He was simply "Johnathan," his identity shielded because one
of the three teenagers accused of slaughtering him was his older
brother, 16 at the time. Identifying the brother would have contravened
provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act and so "Johnathan,"
much to the chagrin of his mother, was robbed not just of his
life, but also of his identity.
But as sentence was passed yesterday on two of the three accused
(the third was acquitted of all charges in February), a Superior
Court judge ruled that the horrendous circumstances demanded
the killers be dealt with as adults. And so, finally, the veil
was lifted and Johnathon Robert
MADDEN of Dawes Road, in Toronto's
east Danforth area, can be named and seen, as his mother had
asked the court.
Likewise unveiled are the two killers, Kevin
MADDEN, a hulking,
stone-faced figure, now almost 20, and his friend, Timothy
FERRIMAN,
nicknamed Vampire Boy for his professed fondness for sipping
blood.
"The facts are horrific," Mr. Justice David
McCOMBS concluded,
outlining what he described as "a hideous, senseless crime."
Mr. MADDEN was found guilty of first-degree murder in February
and yesterday was sentenced to life imprisonment for killing
his little brother in the family home, cutting and slicing his
face and neck 71 times with a butcher knife, severing both his
voice box and his carotid artery.
Mr. MADDEN was also convicted of trying to murder his stepfather,
Ralston CHAMPAGNIE, who was attacked with a knife and a baseball
bat when he returned home that same afternoon in November of
2003. For that, he received a concurrent 10-year prison term,
less three years spent in pretrial custody.
Two years of his life sentence will be served in a youth facility
and the balance in a federal penitentiary, Judge
McCOMBS ruled.
Behind bars since the day after Johnathon was slain, he will
be eligible to apply for parole in just over seven years.
Like all lifers, Mr.
MADDEN will be under supervision for the
rest of his days, if, or when, he goes free. He is not necessarily
beyond all hope, the judge said.
In keeping with his icy demeanour throughout the trial, Mr.
MADDEN
showed not a shred of emotion yesterday. Mr.
FERRIMAN, now 18 and
convicted of manslaughter for his role in Johnathon's death,
was slightly more animated, glancing around at the packed courtroom
where his father, Timothy, sat.
Unlike Mr.
MADDEN,
Mr.
FERRIMAN addressed the court during the
sentencing hearing, apologizing for what he had done. The judge
said yesterday he found the remorse of the "deeply disturbed"
young man to be credible.
Mr. FERRIMAN did not stab the boy but he handed Mr.
MADDEN the
murder weapon and he helped move Johnathon's body.
On top of time served, Mr.
FERRIMAN must spend two years less
a day in the youth prison system -- in which he is said to have
made significant rehabilitative progress -- followed by three
years probation.
The judge's comments during the trial were laced with sympathy
for the MADDEN family's ordeal of having one son murder another.
But for both prosecution and defence, the case was unusually
taxing.
The first trial was aborted midway through jury deliberations
after postings on a vampire-related Internet site -- the same
one patronized by Montreal's Dawson College killer -- cast doubt
on the veracity of a teenaged girl who was the Crown's key witness.
Fourteen years old at the time, the girl had tape-recorded a
telephone call in which the two killers had bragged of plans
to wipe out Mr.
MADDEN's family, beginning with Johnathon. Less
than an hour later, with the house vandalized and smashed up,
Johnathon's 45-kilogram (100-pound) body was stuffed in a basement
crawl space as the three accused awaited Mr.
CHAMPAGNIE's return.
All were arrested within 24 hours.
Mr. MADDEN never disputed killing his brother, who "adored" him,
their mother, Joanne
CHAMPAGNIE, said in a heart-wrenching victim-impact
statement.
Missing throughout the trial, however, was any persuasive insight
into how Mr.
MADDEN's rage boiled to such a peak that he wanted
to annihilate his family.
After the verdicts, emotions were mixed.
Lead prosecutor Hank
GOODY, who argued strenuously for adult
sentences, declined comment.
But Mr. MADDEN's lawyer, Robert
NUTTALL, who sought to have his
client sentenced as a youth, said he would appeal the ruling.
"I'm disappointed for Kevin, everybody agrees that Kevin is a
very troubled fellow," he said. "Kevin desperately needs treatment.
And unfortunately, he's not going to get it."
He described Mr.
MADDEN as a "deeply disturbed young man" --
not the psychopath perceived by Doctor Ian
SWAYZE, a psychiatrist
who examined him at length -- who would benefit from treatment
within the youth justice system. "If he doesn't get treatment,
he will remain a high risk to reoffend. The issue is, where's
he going to get the treatment? It sounds like the [penitentiary]
is not the place to get it."
John DENNIS,
Mr.
FERRIMAN's lawyer, called the past three years
"a roller coaster ride" and said he, too, would appeal the decision
to sentence the young men as adults.
Ms. CHAMPAGNIE said nothing.
Dressed in a ribbed beige sweater and dark pants and flanked
by supporters, she started dabbing at her eyes as she took her
seat in the first row, the same place she occupied for each day
of the sentencing hearing, listening attentively to Judge
McCOMBS.
Each time he alluded to the brutal murder, tears flowed, and
when he described how Mr.
FERRIMAN helped move the younger boy's
body, she held her eyes tightly shut.
Talk of Mr.
MADDEN's thoughts elicited a different reaction.
"[Kevin] has repeatedly stated that he has never loved anyone,
and has never felt love from anyone," the judge said.
Ms. CHAMPAGNIE looked down and shook her head.
And when the judge told the court that Mr.
MADDEN blames his
mother for not protecting him, she again shook her head.
She didn't react when Mr.
MADDEN's sentence was announced.
But she burst into tears when Judge
McCOMBS offered his condolences
to her family.
She wanted Johnathon's identity revealed, she told the trial
earlier, because she wanted him to be remembered -- to have a
face.
When she realized yesterday the publication ban could be lifted,
she exhaled a sigh of relief.
Homicide squad Detective Sergeant Terry
WARK, who became close
to the family throughout their ordeal, said later that Ms.
CHAMPAGNIE
was content with the outcome and still wants to be in Mr.
MADDEN's
life.
"But she realizes he needs help," Det. Sgt.
WARK said. "She's
happy that he'll be in a youth facility for the next two years,
because he has been getting a lot of help in there."
The judge's ruling was fair, he said. "He was very compassionate
to the family, but I think his sentence today was very helpful
to the two boys, and it also gets across the message of deterrence."
Dr. SWAYZE also voiced approval.
Mr. MADDEN, he said, is "salvageable to the extent that he's
relatively young, and he hasn't had a lifetime of entrenched
antisocial attitudes."
Johnathon and Kevin's biological father, also named Kevin
MADDEN
and estranged from Ms.
CHAMPAGNIE since 1993, had no comment
on the ruling.
After the sentencing, the brothers' aunt, Wendy
EBERHARDT, read
a statement on behalf of her family.
"We are relieved to see an end to the trial," she said. "We are
pleased that Kevin and Tim are going to get help with their problems.
We're relieved to have Johnathon's full name released, so that
we can now properly memorialize him."
'BF's 4-ever'
He'd grown up building forts, hurling mud pies with his Friends
and playing Little League.
Now he was 12, and larger horizons beckoned.
His voice was beginning to break, he'd started junior high and
girls were on his mind.
His best friend's grandmother recalled the fair, blue-eyed boy
plunking down at her kitchen table on a November day, three years
ago, and musing about a crush. Where should he take her for dinner?
he wondered.
None of it would come to pass.
A few weeks later, Johnathon
MADDEN was ambushed and stabbed
to death by his older brother Kevin, becoming Toronto's 59th
homicide victim of 2003.
Until yesterday, he could not be identified, because his name
would reveal those of his accused killers.
"He just had a sweetness about him," said the grandmother of
his best friend, Nathan. "We miss him."
Johnathon Robert
MADDEN was born in Toronto on May 11, 1991,
the second son of Joanne and Kevin
MADDEN.
The pair separated when Kevin was 7 and Johnathon 3. Their mother
remarried soon after the divorce.
The court heard that while a teenaged Kevin had problems in class,
at home and with the law, Johnathon led a happy childhood.
"Johnathon was a compassionate boy. He was worried about what
was going on in his family. And loved his brother," said the
woman, who did not want to be identified.
Johnathon and Nathan lived blocks apart in North York and, for
six years, they were inseparable. They built forts, attended
Raptors games with Johnathon's family and revelled in nicki-nicki-nine-door
"missions."
One weekend, they dotted Nathan's grandmother's yard with holes
and had mud fights.
The summer they were 9, they had a marathon number of sleepovers
that lasted three weeks.
On the last day of his life, Johnathon walked Nathan home after
a snowball fight.
Hours later, the boy was slashed to death by his brother in the
basement of his family home.
Nathan, 10 at the time of the killing, testified at two trials
held for his friend's accused killers. The first ended in a mistrial.
Johnathon's mother, now Ms.
CHAMPAGNIE, wants her son to be remembered,
and created a memorial website (http://www.johnathon-madden.memory-of.com).
In it, Johnathon is remembered as the boy with the big smile
who loved tacos, saltfish and making people laugh.
His aunt, Margo
ANDERSON, wrote: "To my nephew, may you enjoy
skateboarding with the angels."
A classmate wrote: "You always were the funny one in the class."
And Nathan
STEVENSON,
Johnathon's co-conspirator, mud-fight rival
and sleepover buddy, wrote that he misses his best friend, signing
it "BF's 4-ever."
Hayley Mick
'You just don't understand'
During the three years that homicide investigator Detective Sergeant
Terry WARK helped shape the prosecution case against Kevin
MADDEN,
the accused responded to his many questions just once.
"I said to him, 'Kevin, this was your brother. How could you
do this?' " the policeman recalled.
"And he said, 'You don't understand. It built up. You just don't
understand.' That's the only thing he ever said to me, he never
said another word."
Blond, tall and broad shouldered -- he weighed about 230 pounds
when he killed his young brother -- Mr.
MADDEN appeared to listen
carefully during his two murder trials, occasionally peering
around the room with his cold, flat eyes.
But he never testified and only once did he display any emotion.
That was when his mother, Joanne
CHAMPAGNIE, described her pain
and her love for both of her sons.
Her words left Mr.
MADDEN sobbing quietly, rocking in his chair
in the prisoners' box.
To the end, the teenaged killer was an enigma.
Mr. MADDEN's history -- moving from house to house after his
parents' marriage failed, habitual truancy at 10 different schools,
alcohol abuse that started at the age of 12, sharing his home
with a stepfather he hated -- offered some grim early warning
signs.
When he killed his 12-year-old brother, he was already on probation
over threats he had made to schoolmates
He also threatened to blow up one school. He was suspended at
least six times from the last high school he attended.
Some observers -- including the judge who sentenced him to life
imprisonment yesterday -- nonetheless see a glimmer of hope,
because of his youth.
So does his biological father.
"He's got ambition now," Kevin
MADDEN
Sr. told the court after
visiting his son in custody. "He wants to get good grades, wants
to be productive, he seems like a totally different person."
Prosecutor Hank
GOODY saw things entirely differently.
"Mr. MADDEN is now the same person psychologically as he was
November 23, 2003," he told the court. "And is likely to remain
the same psychologically for the foreseeable future."
And forensic psychiatrist Doctor Ian
SWAYZE painted a picture that
was alarming.
"He really is sort of a smouldering volcano, with steam coming
out of the vents," he testified.
"These explosions of anger are not out of character, not aberrant.
There's a cascade towards a terrible event… a path towards disaster."

HOFFMAN,
Katherine
Elizabeth "
Liz" (née
NUTTER)
Liz passed away peacefully at her home with great courage and
dignity from malignant melanoma on January 27, 2006. To deeply
mourn her passing, so thankful for her life, are her loving family,
her beloved daughter Andrea
HOFFMAN
(Matt
TORMEY,) her mother
Audrey NUTTER, brother John
NUTTER, sister Patricia (Bob)
JAMIESON,
Auntie Bobbie and Uncle Dave
GRANT and family, Barry
HOFFMAN
and the HOFFMAN and Potter families. She was predeceased by her
father Philip
NUTTER. To all of Liz's Friends who loved her,
you are her family as well and we know that you will miss her
as deeply. Liz achieved a tremendous amount during her life.
She is remembered for her determination to stand up for the rights
of those without a voice, for her passion for books and making
them accessible to everyone, for the pleasure she took in travel
and her admiration of different cultures, and most fondly for
her deep love and appreciation of family and Friends. Liz gave
wholeheartedly to her Friends and always held them dear. She
was so grateful for all of the love and support that she received
over the past months - every call, every card, every flower and
every prayer was deeply cherished and gave her added strength.
Liz was born in Winnipeg in 1951, later moving to the Ottawa
area with her family. She graduated with an Honours Degree in
Public Administration from Carleton University in Ottawa and
pursued further study on scholarship at the Syracuse University
School of Public Administration, New York. Liz raised her family
and spent most of her career in Toronto. She returned to Winnipeg
in 2000. Liz's deeply rooted sense of fairness and social justice
led to a career as ombudsperson with distinguished service at
Carleton University, the University of Toronto, Ryerson Polytechnic
University and the Ontario College of Art and Design. For the
past five years she worked in Winnipeg as a Senior Investigator
with the Office of the National Defence and Canadian Forces Ombudsman.
She was a founding member and a past president of the Association
of Canadian College and University Ombudspersons. She was also
a founding member of The Forum of Canadian Ombudsman and remained
actively involved as a member of the Board. The opportunity to
volunteer with diverse groups and individuals in the community
gave her great pleasure. For over twenty years Liz was committed
to keeping the public library systems strong and maintaining
public access to information while preserving individual privacy.
She was past president of the Ontario Public Library Association
and on behalf of this Association and the Ontario Ministry of
Culture and Communications chaired the development of the Ontario
Public Library Strategic Plan. She contributed as a committee
chair to the development of Winnipeg's Millennium Library. She
was a member of the Executive Committee of the Canadian Commission
for United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
a member of the Board of Directors of the Canadian Network for
the Advancement of Research, Industry and Education; a member
of the Federal Government's National Community Access Programme
Advisory Board; a member of the Federal Government's Information
Highway Advisory Council; and founding chair of Canada's Coalition
for Public Information. A special joy was in representing Canada
as keynote speaker (National Information Policies: Canadian Approach)
at the 49th International Federation for Information and Documentation
Conference and Congress held in Jaipur and New Delhi, India.
Liz's leadership, service and commitment toward the betterment
of her local, provincial, national and global communities have
been highly recognized. She was honoured with many awards from
the organizations with which she worked. Commendations were received
from both the Prime Minister and the Governor General of Canada.
Liz believed in living each day to the fullest. She travelled
extensively with her family throughout North and South America,
Mexico, the Caribbean, Europe and Asia. She enjoyed diverse activities
including book clubs, cultural festivals, cinema, theatre, live
music and billiards. Most recently Liz's quiet time was spent
at her dream retreat Skye Cottage, Victoria Beach. Our lives
are richer for having known Liz. She touched and contributed
to the lives of many. The family invites Friends to share in
a remembrance and celebration of Liz's life at the Renaissance
Hotels Northern Lights Ballroom in the Rogers Centre, Toronto
on Saturday, February 11th at 1: 30 p.m. This is the site where
Liz hosted the initial visionary meeting of the future Ontario
Digital Library. A similar gathering is being held at the Inn
at the Forks, Winnipeg, on Saturday, February 4th. Flowers gratefully
declined.
