In my previous blog post, I shared the work and court case of Mr. Todd Standing. He is a Sasquatch Researcher and documentary film maker. Over the course of his research into the mysterious creature that calls the B.C. wilderness home; he has collected DNA samples, eye witness accounts, pictures, video, and much more to make the reality of Sasquatch legally true in the zoological world. His ultimate goal is preservation and conservation of the wilderness and the animal itself so it may continue to prosper for generations to come.
So, on August 31, 2018 Mr. Standing had his day in court to present his evidence to the judge on the Supreme Court of California. He had his years of forensic evidence, picture, video, eye witness accounts, and more. Despite his work and evidence ready to be presented the judge denied his case completely.
“They didn’t listen to my evidence. They weren’t looking at my evidence,” Standing explained, adding that the courts were looking to see if there was a precedence they could use from another case. “My evidence would have been admissible.” Stated, Mr. Standing.
He fully believes that if he was given a chance to present his case and evidence in court the judge would have no other choice to grant him his case. Mr. Standing has something in his possession that most Sasquatch researchers dream of: DNA samples. However, this is not the end for Todd Standing. He has the support of his wife, new baby daughter, and officers supporting his mission. His passion is unyielding and I believe that he will be successful once his evidence is seen and heard.
So, what is next?
“I really wasn’t prepared for what they were going to require. So there’s no precedent. What do you do when you have a trial of something that’s new?” He questioned. “They bombarded us with tons of stuff to bury us so we wouldn’t be able to go through it all, which they did, and then they pushed us through as fast as they could, which I didn’t want. I needed more time to go and study and do my work.”
