Charges of Possession Loaded Restricted Firearm without Licence (x2), Possession of Property Obtained by Crime, Possession of Cannabis for Distribution, Possession of Controlled Substance for Trafficking withdrawn prior to setting a date for trial, Newmarket. H.S. was accused of being part of a gang which had committed a string of violent late night home invasions involving firearms and serious assaults on the occupants. The police investigation led to an address where the suspects lived. Following the execution of a search warrant, police found numerous weapons, drugs, body armour and proceeds of crime in the living room. The occupants were all arrested. H.S retained Michael Bury of Neuberger & Partners LLP, Toronto Criminal Lawyers, to represent him. H.S. had nothing to do with the alleged crimes as he was only a tenant at the address where he rented a room. Extensive pre-trials were conducted with the Crown to demonstrate that H.S. had no involvement and that the Crown’s own evidence confirmed this due to a lack of fingerprints or any other evidence connecting H.S. to the gang. Ultimately, the Crown agreed to withdraw all the charges after the client provided a statutory declaration prepared by Michael Bury.
