B.J. retained Ms. Condello to defend him on six charges of Criminal Mischief damage to property for writing in permanent ink at a bus station.  The client saw graffiti of a swastika and wrote next it “Jesus is Lord”.   Police identified the client and determined that the client was also responsible for graffiti of swastikas.  The Crown screened the matter as a hate crime and was seeking jail.  Ms. Condello was able to show through circumstantial evidence that the client was not the person responsible for the hate crime writings and was trying to counter the hate writing with Christian values and not hate.  The client paid restitution for damages caused by his writing only and the charges were all withdrawn.
