Recent Success – Charged with Possession of Stolen Property

Both my clients were charged with possession of property over $5000. As a result of two meetings with the Judge and the Crown attorney, I was able to convince the crown that there was no reasonable prospect of conviction and both charges against both of my clients were withdrawn.

The Scenario

My clients were employed in a retail warehouse that sold appliances and other electronic items. The police arrived at the location and arrested three individuals including my clients. The police alleged that my clients were in possession of 33 stolen large screen televisions. These televisions were placed on Kijiji for sale. The police called the number on the Kijiji ad and were directed to the retail warehouse where my clients were employed. When my clients were arrested, a telephone with the number associated with the Kijiji ad was located.

Our Process

Upon meeting with the Judge and the Crown, I stated that the evidence was insufficient to prove that my clients were aware that these televisions were stolen. As a result, all charges against both my clients were withdrawn.
