Charges of Domestic Assault and Assault w/Weapon withdrawn prior to setting trial dates, Toronto.  A.B. were separating.  At the time, the two were living separate and apart in the same house.  After an argument about dividing the assets of the marriage, A.B. went out.  While out of the house, he got a call by police that he was going to be charged.  A.B. surrendered and was charged.  Joseph Neuberger of Neuberger & Partners LLP was retained to defend A.B.  After receiving the statement of the complainant as to the allegations and dates of the alleged offences, A.B. was able to provide Joseph Neuberger with GPS evidence of her whereabouts.  In addition, statements were taken from two friends of A.B. who provided alibi evidence.  The complainant provided no proof of any injuries, and her statement was not coherent in the sense of providing an honest recounting of the alleged assaults.  Joseph Neuberger put together a package for the Crown to review asserting that the allegations were false.   After two pre-trials and a judicial pre-trial, it was agreed that the charges of Assault and Assault with a Weapon would be withdrawn.
