R. v. P.A. | 2022 | SARNIA
CHARGE:
Possession for the purpose of trafficking fentanyl, heroin, meth, and cocaine, proceeds of crime.
RESULT:
“That the defendant was a drug dealer, on this evidentiary record, cannot rationally be disputed. But, even drug dealers are afforded Charter protection, and if Mr. A was arbitrarily detained and, then, unlawfully searched the evidence acquired through such constitutional breaches may be excluded from consideration at his trial resulting in his acquittal. For the following reasons, this is such a case.” Those were a part of the Judges reasons in excluding all of the drugs and paraphernalia found in the vehicle (which included a microwave, magic bullet, vats of cut, gloves, and a gas mask) and acquitting the client of all charges. Unfortunately the crown is appealing so the battle continues but for now, the Judges decision stands. In full here:
R. v. N.C. | 2022 | Hamilton
CHARGE:
First degree murder
RESULT:
Our client was 15 years old when he was charged with first degree murder in relation to the death of a 17 year old boy. Client, the victim, and two friends were out joy riding when a gun in the hands of our client discharged, striking the victim in the head. The Crown theory was that the client and two of his friends were trying to rob the victim of his parent’s vehicle and shot him in the process. At the end of the preliminary hearing, the client was discharged of first degree murder and committed to stand trial on second degree murder. After the Crown tried but failed to have me disqualified as counsel for a conflict of interest (judgment linked below), Madalyn Bavaro and I proceeded to two weeks of pretrial motions with a six week trial about to commence when the Crown finally accepted our offer of a plea to manslaughter, which I had put on the table two years earlier. The client of course accepted and was immediately released from custody on bail following his plea. His sentence, 5 days later, was one of 3 years with time already served. Sadly, and as a perfect example of how broken our justice system is, he actually spent an extra year in custody and the Court lost 6 full weeks of court time because the case resolved on the first day set for trial.

R. v. A.A. | 2022 | Brampton
CHARGE:
First degree murder
RESULT:
Client was charged with two of his friends in relation to a drive by shooting in Brampton on New Years Eve 2020 that resulted in the death of an 18-year-old boy. I had the charge lowered to second-degree murder at the preliminary hearing and after spending exactly 2 years and 5 months in custody, he and his co-accused all plead guilty to manslaughter. Only our client was released on time served, with one month (yes, month) of non-reporting probation.
R. v. A.D. | 2022 | Brampton
CHARGES:
Robbery x 4 (carjackings), Possession of Property Obtained by Crime, Proceeds of Crime, and Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking Cocaine and Fentanyl
RESULT:
The police cobbled together a theory that my client was involved in a series of car jackings and managed to obtain a tracking warrant for his phone and car as well as a transmission data recorder and eventually a warrant to search his home and a storage locker. Looking for evidence of the car jackings, they stumbled on a significant quantity of fentanyl and cocaine, along with a press and packaging and just over $25,000 in cash. We brought a Charter Application challenging all four warrants and on the first day of the Application, the Crown brought a motion to dismiss it as having no merit. Not only did the Judge rule the Application had merit, after a nine day battle spread out over 3 months, the entire Application was granted, all evidence excluded, and the client is getting his cash back.

Client complied, confirming that he was not wanted by police, had no outstanding charges, and no criminal record. Nonetheless, we was removed from the car and searched, resulting in the seizure 229 fentanyl pills and just over $7600 in cash. After filing an extensive charter application arguing that the police violated his right to be free from arbitrary detention, the right to be free from unreasonable search, and the right to counsel, the Crown stayed all charges.

Read the judges reasons here:
R. V. J.W | 2021 | St. Catharines
CHARGES:
Second Degree Murder x2 and Indignity to a body x2
RESULT:
My client, his sister, and his wife were all charged with the death of man and a woman that had been living in my clients basement. The Crown alleged that my client and his sister killed the couple with a hammer and then all three parties drove the bodies from St. Catharines to Haliburton were they were set on fire in an forest. The Crown proceeded separately accused all three accused in order to force each one to testify against the others. My client was committed to stand trial on the basis of his sister’s evidence alone (decision attached). Once all three accused were in Superior Court, the Crown joined them together. As a result, I brought an Application Arguing Abuse of Process, which found that the Crown did abuse their power and the evidence of each accused at the prelim was ruled inadmissible at trial. Three weeks before the trial was set to begin, realizing the significant weaknesses in their case, the Crown offered my client a plea to two counts of manslaughter for a total sentence of 6.5 years, less time already served. Out on bail for over a year at the time of sentencing, my client stepped in for what was a 3.5 year sentence on two bodies and will be back home in less than 2.
