Charge of Domestic Assault withdrawn after extensive pre-trials, Brampton. The client and his wife were having a serious argument. The complainant left the house and went to her brother’s house. Later that evening she called police and R.A was charged. Joseph Neuberger and Grace Condello were retained to defend R.A. R.A. immediately gave Joseph and Grace a screenshot of a text sent the day after he was charged stating “I am really sorry I lied to police that you hurt me. My brother made me call police and lie about you.” That message was turned over to the officer in charge and the Crown with a letter asking for an investigation into a false statement and possibly a charge of public mischief. Nothing was done about the text. When disclosure was received the statement was extremely brief and so vague it undermined the allegation. Just an assertion that R.A. punched the complainant as he was upset about something about the house. No details or real context. No injuries. After having a series of pre-trials, the Crown agreed that there was no basis to move forward with the criminal case. The charge of Assault was withdrawn.
