RECENT SUCCESSFUL CASES
R v NR
ASSAULT & BREACH
NR was alleged to have assaulted his common law partner. Several months later he was alleged to have assaulted her again, this time in breach of a court order. Consequently, NR was charged with multiple assault and court order breach offences. NR strongly denied the allegations. He plead not guilty and trial dates were set.
Before the first trial date, Matt Browne made multiple disclosure requests. The sought disclosure would bear on the complainant’s credibility. Matt had numerous discussions with the Crown about the disclosure. Through the discussions the Crown agreed to withdraw the charges that NR was facing.
R v OB
ASSAULT
Following a Christmas party, OB’s partner called the police alleging that OB assaulted her and prevented her from leaving the family home. The police arrested OB and charged him with assault causing bodily harm and forcible confinement.
After meeting with OB and reviewing disclosure Matt Browne contacted the Crown to discuss OB’s matter. Matt Browne highlighted potential credibility and witness participation issues should a trial occur. The Crown agreed; OB entered into a common law peace bond and the charges against him were withdrawn.
R v NR
BREACH COURT ORDER
When SS contacted Matt Browne he was charged with two breaches of a Conditional Sentence Order (CSO) and two breaches of a court order. CSO breaches may result in an individual spending the balance of their sentence in jail.
The Crown alleged that SS committed multiple curfew breaches. Matt Browne explained to the Crown that SS was assisting his mother during one of the breaches. Matt also noted some challenges the Crown would have with establishing the other breach allegations.
The Crown agreed. Three of the charges were dropped and SS plead guilty to a single CSO breach and received a 10 day extension of his CSO as a sentence.
R v CM
DRUG OFFENCES
Bike cops were responding to reports of drug trafficking in downtown Calgary. When they arrived at the scene of the complaint, the police found CM engaging in activity consistent with drug trafficking.
CM was arrested. A search of CM incident to arrest yielded several types of drugs along with cash. CM was charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking and possession of the proceeds of crime.
After reviewing disclosure, Matt Browne noted a significant issue with the search of CM. The issue could form the basis for an application to exclude the drugs and cash from the trial under section 8 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Matt informed the Crown of the issues the with search. The Crown reviewed disclosure in light of Matt’s comments. They then advised Matt that the charges against CM would be withdrawn.
