Posted in Criminal Cases (Non-Driving), Domestic Assault
My client was charged with a Domestic Assault in relation to an altercation that had occurred with his girlfriend at the time. The matter went to trial and my client was ultimately acquitted. The judge had serious concerns with the truthfulness of the girlfriend’s testimony based on my cross-examination that exposed several inconsistencies between her testimony at trial and her earlier statements to the police. The judge could also not understand how my client had no injuries to his hand despite allegedly punching a glass window causing it to shatter.

Posted in Criminal Cases (Non-Driving), Domestic Assault
My client, who had a criminal record, was charged with three Domestic Assaults stemming from incidents that occurred on three separate days. As well my client was charged with breaching a term of his bail by contacting the complainant mere minutes after he was released on bail. The Crown was originally seeking a jail term, but ultimately my client avoided jail and was placed on probation instead with terms that he not contact or communicate with the complainant without her consent and that he go for alcohol counselling.
