Recent Success: Facing Multiple Possession Charges
Allegations
My clients were charged with Possession of a Substance, that being Marijuana, for the purpose of Trafficking. They were also charged with:
- Possession of a Firearm
- Point a Firearm
- Possession of a Restricted Weapon
- Possession of Weapons Dangerous
All charges against both of my clients were withdrawn as a result of my efforts to successfully convince the Crown that they were unable to prove any of the foregoing charges.
Arrests
My clients were arrested as a result of a radio call made to the police. The call advised them that one of my clients had pointed a handgun at them. The police immediately attended my clients’ residence, where they resided with three other members of their family. Upon entering and searching the residence, the police seized a firearm and an amount of marijuana.
Trial Proceedings & Results
Upon review of the case and the disclosure, it became evident to me that the Crown would not be able to establish that in fact either of my clients had either knowledge or control of the firearm or marijuana.
After having met with the Judge and the Crown on several judicial pretrials, the Crown withdrew all charges.
