Corbella: Ex-wife 'lied' in bid to grab $1 million from former Alta AG
Breanna Palmer, the ex-wife of Calgary lawyer and former Alberta attorney general Jonathan Denis, lied to police and to the courts while under oath in an attempt to squeeze $1 million from her husband, says a recent court judgment.
Justice Rooke also found that the following day, Palmer made false allegations against Denis and his mother while under oath before Alberta Provincial Court Judge Lynn Cook-Stanhope, when Palmer sought an ex-parte Emergency Protection Order , that was granted against Denis and his elderly mother, something that is done without the other side present to protect victims of domestic violence.
Cook-Stanhope — who died April 14 — issued a publication ban at that time, which Rooke ruled Palmer violated by providing “copies of the ex-parte EPO to news media in Calgary and elsewhere.” Denis says he met Palmer in 2010, they became a couple in 2012 and were married at Centre Street Church on Oct. 11, 2014.Denis, who says he gets emotional when he reflects on that time — which he describes as “the hardest time in my life” — says then-premier Jim Prentice called the provincial election on April 7, 2015, and Denis drove back to Calgary from Edmonton.
Nothing further happened until April 23, when “the false accusations started coming out — one more outlandish than the last. I had heard from the premier’s office saying that she was trying to get me charged with attempted murder, again, no charges were ever laid,” he said. “This has been the worst thing that I have ever dealt with in my entire life. Not just because of how it’s affected me but it’s also affected someone I love, most notably my mom, whom I think the world of,” he said, his voice cracking. “I have a lot more compassion as a lawyer for the wrongfully accused, having been through this.
