Charges of Utter Death Threats x 4 withdrawn prior to trial. The complainant was in a bitter custody dispute with her former husband. The day prior to the alleged threatening conduct, her father passed away. Due to a verbal argument in which a threat was made about obtaining sole custody, the complainant allegedly uttered a number of threats. Although the threats were actually uttered, given the history, and the circumstances, there was little objective reality to the complainant actually meaning to carry through any of the threats. The client attended therapy sessions and did very well in therapy. Defence lawyer Joseph Neuberger provided the Crown with the report, numerous character letters and negotiated a withdrawal of all charges.
