B.G. (2024)"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Charges of Sexual Assault and Assault Withdrawn on Day one of Trial. The client was charged with a serious sexual assault and assault involving a next-door neighbour on two separate occasions. The neighbour reported to the Police that the client had invited her into his apartment, and then, while intoxicated, touched her breasts and bottom inside her clothing on the pretense of searching for drugs she had allegedly stolen from him. The Crown was seeking jail in the event of conviction. B.G. retained Michael Bury of Neuberger &amp; Partners LLP, Toronto Criminal Lawyers, to represent him. After a lengthy investigation into the complainant\u2019s background, it became very clear that she had serious credibility and reliability issue both due to a criminal record involving drugs and impaired driving. Additionally, Michael Bury found out she had new impaired driving charges still before the courts and was a known drug user in the building. Given these serious witness problems, Michael Bury convinced the Crown that its case was extremely weak and the chances of success for the Crown were slim to none. The Crown agreed and withdrew all charges the morning of the trial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","success_category":[118,119],"class_list":["post-30061","success_story","type-success_story","status-publish","hentry","success_category-all-success-stories","success_category-sexual-assault-domestic-assault-and-other-violent-crimes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nrlawyers.com\/6ixDev-v2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/success_story\/30061","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nrlawyers.com\/6ixDev-v2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/success_story"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nrlawyers.com\/6ixDev-v2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/success_story"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nrlawyers.com\/6ixDev-v2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30061"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"success_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nrlawyers.com\/6ixDev-v2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/success_category?post=30061"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
