A sentencing hearing for a man convicted of confining and beating his mother-in-law in a dispute over money ended abruptly yesterday when be began screaming abuse at his estranged former family. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Ian Josephson ordered an amicus curiae (friend of the court) be appointed to represent Rudolph Atzenberger for sentencing. “You don’t know what you’re doing,” Josephson said. The Crown is asking for a two- to three-year prison term for the electrical contractor. Following that order and while Josephson was walking out of the courtroom, an agitated Atzenberger turned to his estranged ex-wife’s family and began yelling and pointing at them as a sheriff intervened. “You ugly, vicious people!” he yelled repeatedly as the Crown prosecutor hurriedly emptied the courtroom. In court, Atzenberger referred to himself as a “good, honest man.” “You’re a good man who did a very bad thing,” interjected the sentencing judge. In March, a jury convicted the 57-year-old of forcible entry, breakand-enter, assault causing bodily harm and uttering threats. For two days at the beginning of the trial, Susan Denison testified Atzenberger entered her home while she was asleep. Her former son-in-law tore off her covers and grabbed her by the hair, pushing and pulling her. Over the next several hours, she said, Atzenberger sat directly across from her, grilling her about a series of family and financial questions.

He hit her with his gloved hands each time he heard an answer he did not like from the 75-year-old woman. Atzenberger then forced her to sign a document absolving him of debts. The accused man represented himself at the trial. He testified he went to Denison’s home to iron out old differences and attempted to calm her and protect himself when she grew angry and violent. Atzenberger said he tried to pour cold water on her and she slipped several times in the shower. The senior B.C. Supreme Court justice told Atzenberger “the evidence you offered approached the absurd.” Before the sentencing hearing, Atzeberger presented the court with hundreds of pages of material, much of it testimony from a civil trial involving his former in-laws. He continually argued with Josephson, telling him the jury didn’t hear the real story. “I don’t know where you’ve been,” Josephson told him. “You’ve turned yourself into a complete victim. The jury completely rejected your version.” Before an earlier scheduled sentencing hearing Atzenberger attempted to convince the judge to declare a mistrial. Atzenberger represented himself during the trial, but a court-ordered lawyer conducted cross-examination of Denison. Now a court-ordered lawyer will speak on his behalf and prepare for sentencing. Crown prosecutor Iain Currie said he is recommending a jail sentence between two and three years. Atzenberger told Josephson he wants a conditional discharge.
