Charge of Assault withdrawn prior to setting trial date, Toronto. The client retained Grace Condello of Neuberger & Partners LLP, Toronto Criminal Lawyers to defend him. The Crown Attorney was seeking a conviction because the client was an adult and the complainant was 15 years of age and suffered a sprain to his wrist. Ms. Condello obtained evidence that the complainant had been playing ball in front of the client’s home and the ball had caused damage to the downspout of his home. The client told the complainant numerous times to stop playing ball in front of his home because they were damaging his home. On the date of the incident, the complainant was on the client’s front porch. When the client came out of his home, he told the complainant to stay off his property. The complainant approached the client aggressively and the client pushed the complainant away defensively causing him to fall backwards and injure his arm. Although the complainant was 15 years of age, he was the same height as the client. Ms. Condello was successful in convincing the Crown Attorney to withdraw the charge.
