S.S. (2024)"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Multiple counts of Possession and Trafficking of Stolen Goods withdrawn mid-trial, Bradford. S.S. was charged with 32 counts of Theft Over, Possession Over, and Trafficking in Stolen Goods. In January 2021 to May 2022, police commenced an investigation into a string of property related thefts targeting construction sites and thefts of heavy diesel equipment such as excavators worth over $500,000. The thefts were taking place across the G.T.A. and central Ontario. As a result of the investigation, S.S. and other accused parties were identified, and a number of Judicial Authorizations were granted. Production Orders including phone records were utilized and provided evidence of the S.S.\u2019s involvement in the alleged crimes. S.S. retained Michael Bury of Neuberger &amp; Partners LLP to represent him. The matter proceeded to trial and despite some evidence connecting S.S. to the allegations, Michael Bury successfully cross-examined the detective in charge at length to demonstrate the weakness of the Crown\u2019s case. After extensive discussions with the Crown following the cross-examinations, the Crown conceded the weakness of its case against S.S. and agreed to withdraw all charges, despite the fact the trial had already commenced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","success_category":[125,118],"class_list":["post-30662","success_story","type-success_story","status-publish","hentry","success_category-fraud-theft-breach-of-trust-and-financial-crimes","success_category-all-success-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nrlawyers.com\/6ixDev-v2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/success_story\/30662","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=30662"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"success_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nrlawyers.com\/6ixDev-v2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/success_category?post=30662"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
