R. v. V.C.
Charge:
Assault Causing Bodily Harm
Potential Sentence:
Significant Jail
Result:
Not Guilty verdict
Description:
In this case our client was facing a serious charge for breaking the jaw of the other participant in this encounter. The incident was captured on video which was played in court. Through cross-examination we elicited evidence that the victim was a willing participant in the "assault". We also successfully argued that even though there was a broken jaw, this was a consequence that was unintended from the punch that was thrown. The case against our client was dismissed
